I love the vibes! Sadly, the game lagged really badly when I started trying to use the brush, so I didn't leave a rating but I figured I'd let you know in case it was something you could fix. I was running in Windows Firefox. It seemed like it might have lagged every time a dust cloud particle effect went off, but I'm not 100% sure, it was generally just very stop and go
very satisying, a bit buggy but personality makes up for it, music is calming. just a chill fun play, def my kind of game
Very cute cleanup/repair game! I'm not sure if this was intentional, but I was able to get multiple game toys to spawn and I would just cleanup and steal parts from one of the extras to form fully repaired ones, thought that was neat. I wish there was a way to open the menu without having to press tab so that the whole game could be played with just mouse. Great job!
Feels really satisfying! The sounds and animations are spot on, and every action feels impactful. 👍
Very satisfying! (The game was laggy on all effect, but that's fine) I really loved the fact we could put it apart and clean the inside! Amazing job!
This is so addictive! Very satisfying interactions and a good complexity. Together with the music, this could be a cozy endless game (for the jam it's probably good it has an end). One part that tripped me up a bit was which ~~gameboy~~ GameToy was for which order and how much I would be getting paid for it. I ended up getting paid very little ($3) for some devices where put in new bought parts (but then probably got paid more than I should on others where I scavenged parts from other devices).
The customization options are nice, but there need to be more ;) Including translucent shells!
Oh, I love this kind of game! There's something really satisfying and cozy about fixing up old hardware. I'm actually making a vintage revolver restoration game myself, so this one caught my eye right away. Nice work!
I liked it a lot, very nice and cozy experience. Contact with earth was established. Great job!
pretty cool and relaxing
I had a laggy experience like @koolruz mentionned, it somehow breaks the immersion
Music is chill, graphics are clean, the experience is ok. I may have miss the fun due to the laggy brush tool
Great concept, nicely done! The blueprint-blue workbench, the pixel GameToy and the tidy pixel UI give the repair shop a cozy retro feel, and the intro notes explain things clearly. Really charming, well deserved!
Very relaxing game, just solving the little orders. It did get a little repetitive but I was interested to see what would happen at the end with the threatening notes. The end did kind of undermine the vibes of the game though, I was hoping the threats would be a misdirect so a little disappointed then. But otherwise the artstyle is fantastic and the music suited really nicely. The sound effects were very satisfying too. Overall, great job!
very cozy ! and very juicy game feels : assembling, cleaning, buying, all these actions are very pleasant ! ! well done !! Not sure about the menacing letters. i stop at 109 dollars
Really good game, I loved it. I could have kept fixing gameboys for much longer. Everything about the game feels really polished. The graphics are great, and the music, while I assume isn't yours since you opted out of audio, still was a good pick, fits well and really sets the mood. It feels so cozy and I enjoyed the whole experience of fixing the gameboys, it was a fun kind of repetitive process with just enough variation to be kept interesting, and it was cool to get to buy better and better components for my customers as the game went on. I didn't expect the horror aspect to it though, but it's not unwelcome, added an interesting twist to the cozy game. I wanted to clean the knife so bad in the end lol. I will also say it wasn't too buggy for me, mainly it lagged a bit for me while playing the webgl version just when I first picked up the brush, but it was fine the rest of the time playing.
Cool and cozy game! Really enjoyed cleaning the Game Boys, and I liked how you implemented the mechanic of taking apart different components. At first, my dumb brain didn't read the instructions properly, so instead of returning the Game Boys to customers, I just kept throwing them in the trash. Took me a while to realize I was doing something wrong! Really fun experience, thanks for the game!
This game is really cool - it feels like a great pocket version of Restore or Workshop Simulator where you fix tamagotchis and gamepads. The cleaning process is actually quite satisfying, but the brush is so tiny that it feels like trying to paint a house with a toothpick, hehe!
I also noticed a couple of moments during my playthrough that could use some polishing. For example, I found that you can just throw broken gamepads straight into the delivery basket, and the game lets you progress anyway. Also, when I put a quest item into the left black basket, it softlocked the game and I had to restart. It might be a good idea to add a small warning or error message there, so players don't accidentally drop crucial items inside by mistake.
But overall, it is a super cute, compact, and clear project. Thanks for a fun time with your game!
It took me a while to realize there was a store I could access but I really enjoyed my time with this! Really well done, good stuff!!
Didn't understand the point of golden and prismatic parts the first time around. By the end of my second playthrough, I was assembling and shipping full-prismatic GameToys instead of fixing the ones coming in, and I died with $4918.
Nice little gameplay loop here! I like how the mechanics were gradually introduced at the beginning--seeing the game grow in scope was exciting. Also very addicting to get to the point where I could afford more expensive parts and I was making heaps of money. The ending got a laugh from me. Good fun! Maybe would be cool to add something to purchase that translates the morse code? I translated the first one but didn't feel like putting in the effort after that.
