Ok this game is pretty darn adorable. It took me a second play-through to understand exactly what the mechanics were but once I did I enjoyed it a lot. The sounds are satisfying and cute. I think the buy-sell mechanic but at high speed is reallyyy cool, and if you added a little higher variance to the cost and selling price of apples, that could be a fast paced trading mechanic that is really satisfying.

That is indeed a small game, but really fun to play. Nice view of the theme i enjoyed going through the game 3 times, so i think it is very limited but also nice to play game about cute ATM.

I didn't quite understand on the first play that you have to avoid the "vampire" guys. The idea is interesting, maybe it needs a bit of balancing: you can't have bad deals as the prices for buying an apple is always much higher than the price of any apple. Maybe if you had to choose which deals are worth the cost of the movement, the game will be even more fun to play?

A simple but also really funny idea for a game. The game fits the jam very well. Overall a good LD game. Well done.

Just some more feedbacks and explanations and it will be a funny game! It is really simple but it's enjoyable to play actually :)

Yay for robot paradise! Nice simple game that plays well, with easy to understand rules. I'm not entirely sure how apples relates to the ATM's quest for robot paradise but the mechanic worked well. I would probably replace the word "depositors" in the instructions with "withdrawers" just to avoid confusion about what they do.

This is cute. $1400 for an apple? Inflation's gotten out of control in the future, haha.

I think you should name your ZIP and EXE "Abscond" instead of "ld44", because a lot of other people also choose those names.

Nice work!

Pretty simple mechanics but surprisingly enjoyable experience. The character design is so lovable. :) I like what you did here. I would love to go on more adventures with this Beemo-esque ATM machine character.

Man, this has potential. But it's too short.
I like how it makes you quickly think whether it makes sense to buy an apple or to sell it to the first one or wait for better offer. Nice touch.

With a bit more diversity, it'd be even better.
Keep up the good work.
