BARBER BLUES: living the dream

=======================

You've grown tired of your boring desk job and decide it's time to pursue your life long dream: to become a barber and have your own barber shop.

With just $1000 saved up, it will be an uphill battle for sure, as running an independent business sadly isn't cheap. Will you be able to SHAPESHIFT the beards & moustaches of your clients and sustain yourself in the fashionable but harsh world of hipster chic?

Make it or break it in BARBER BLUES: living the dream!

=======================

How to play:

- select a customer sitting on the bench in your shop

- memorise his requested hairdo

- try to recreate his wishes as close as possible using your trusty razor (controlled by mouse, click to shave)

- once you are finished, click the button labeled "done" and receive payment

=======================

This is my 4th entry for Ludum Dare, and the 2nd time I've used the LÖVE framework. I had lots of fun making this game over the weekend, I hope you have as much fun playing it.

Sadly I didn't have time to implement some variety in how the characters look. I wanted to add different skin tones and clothes, but I simply ran out of time. So please know that having them all the same was not my intention!

Here's a timelapse of my desktop, showing how I made the game over the course of the weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCIY2h88pf0
