The UI is well-made and the whole game seems mature.

Ah dang, this was tough. The fortune teller seemed like he was the key to removing the curse, and i was ready to give him the 20 bucks (because he made the offer in the past) but he wanted me to wait until the following year, which was too late. Tough game, but nice work!

Great humor for this game, the interface is clear, graphics are cute in accord to humor, maybe you can add hilarious sound effect and music. Good job !

This is fantastic - I love the idea of having to actually play through a Groundhog's Day situation. I was all excited on my third or fourth attempt to have finally saved up enough for the fortune teller to cure me... and then he forgot I existed. Oops. Great work!

The longest I've played a game here so far. Very well done. It's too bad you couldn't save since some of the later gotchas made you have to replay the entire game again to get to certain point.

By the way, what engine did you use to make this?

Thanks everyone! Glad you're enjoying it. If I do a full release I'll add save points for sure. :)

@kakarotsan: this is using Haxegon.

I really enjoyed this, figuring out strategies and seeing what happens. I didn't manage to break the curse. It is pretty hard!

Really awesome entry! Super simple mechanics, art style is solid and i love what decisions can lead to :) Really awesome entry! Couldn't beat it as i got tired on work and died but it was very fun, well done!

Nice game with a joy to exploring the place and what is hidden, maybe having some tracking information of where you are would be a nice addition to come back to!

Charming beyond belief, and that UI really glues everything together with the graphics. Great job!
