I love the art style. Nice, simple gameplay premise. This could make a solid mobile game.

This can really be a solid mobile game, the concept is clean and precise.
The art style simply fit and the theme is nailed pretty well.

Good work dude!

It fits the theme nicely, the art is clear. My fun was mostly diminished by getting stuck on nothing very often, it seems one can not walk over the edges of tiles? I lost once because I could not find the entry to the hospital, it could be marked clearer.
If you fix those little things, you'd have a nice little game.

The theme and graphics are well done but the Font isn't that readable and the instructions on how to actually play the game are lacking. Other than that It's fine.

Looks promising. However, I only see one fourth of the screen as the entire image is scrambled into the upper left corner. No window mode. I disabled Windows' DPI settings. Didn't work. (Windows 10, AMD Radeon R9 M370X 2 GB) - I'll check it on another gaming rig later.

@gruni sorry bro, your problem is new to me. Game places itself to the 0,0 coordinates of screen. So it's something with your screen properties in windows.

Nice! A bit confusing at first to know how to sell bought stuff, and I didn't succeeded to access the dental office, but well made!

The pixel art is great! I found the gameplay a little boring, but the music and sound effects are nice. :slight_smile:

I knew the title... I knew the goal... But the ending screen still caught me off guard!

It took me a while to realise that there's more to the map than just the carrot and pant ladies. The policeman who asks for 30 coins never made me GTFO, so you might wanna look into that.

Overall, that's a small game but it gets the job done! The job being fitting the theme and being fun, of course. Bonus points for Ricardo

Really liked this game! It was fun, but also quite challenging to play as well.

Cool game, enjoyed it man!

The controls and overall gameplay was a bit confusing at first, but other than that I had a lot of fun with it :)

Art was nice to look at and the music fit well. Controls were clunky, though. The character was getting stuck a lot.

Good art, The gameplay is simple but does what it sets out to do. The goal can be achieved quickly enough not to outstay it's welcom.

Nice game, I thought the controls were a bit stiff but I think the gameplay mechanic has potential :D

Cool game. Movement buttons could use some work when they overlap but the rest is solid. Nice one!

Pixel sprites and graphics is so so good, could have explored the gameplay mechanic more, but overall, solid submission.

Nice pixel art style, maybe it needs some control to resolution when playing it, intresting entry!
