Love the art style! We had a similar idea before we decided on the one we created. Good work :-)

My favourite Ludum Dare 45 game so far! I loved the graphics and gameplay.

Very nicely done. This is something you'd find as just a regular game on kongregate or something.

Very cool game, the art is very nice, controls feel smooth and its the first one I really enjoyed so far!

Awesome art, nice sound and an interesting concept. I thought at first that the walk animation was laggy but... x3

Great art and gameplay. Seems to take quite a while to build up $1000 though, even with a top hat. Great entry overall!

Really nice game, I enjoyed it a lot !! (I managed to survive 11 days !)

Very Cool game, nothing to complain about :D
I am definitely not good at being a hobo, had to try a few times!

Awsome! I love the level design, It was kinda hard to keep all my stats high but overall a generally easy game!
hyperscope9 Oct 2019, 22:16
Big fan of every single component of this game concept! Solid use of theme, game mechanics were tight, audio fit the vibe and graphics were polished. This is a clear front runner for me so far!

My only constructive criticism was the time it takes to get the house.

The best game I tested during this jam. Perfect art, perfect song and perfect game design! You guys, take a time to play and rate my game too, would be an honor for me! see you!

Omg I played till I got $100 which I thought was the cost of the house, I can't read numbers apparently :((( Does anything happen when you buy the house? I wonder if it's even possible to get that much money
Anyway, this game is extremely polished and well done! I couldn't put it down, and it masterfully forced me to keep trying new strategies. I knew this game was amazing when the rejection from passerby really got to me :D
Excellent work for 72 hours. Gameplay, visuals and music all on point.
Picaboo9 Oct 2019, 22:47
nice work and great sound, but the 100,000 at the end is a bit much :)

Ah ah, the house cost is a conflictual subject ^^ I confes that we discussed it near the end, and there is a lot to say about this choice. We will answer all your questions later, when we will have the time for this, and when zoglu can correct my english.

Thank you so much, all of you, for having tested our game and gived feedback !

@hiro-e : I will ! ;)

Omg this brilliant! Def one of my fav LD45 games so far. Great use of theme, good UI and super polished. I made $38 and froze to death lol

Loved this game! It is intuitive and simple to play, you pick up the tricks quickly, i thought i had it covered but then i let the food icon flash a little too long.

Really like the artwork, very polished game-play - well done!
julianbeutel12 Oct 2019, 03:42
wow very cool. great concept and it was a really fun challenge balancing the mechanics. consistent art and audio really helped create a mood. great job everyone!
ToFuMan12 Oct 2019, 04:02
very interesting concept. I played and reached 25 days with 100+ money in hand, so the only thing I think is lacking is a end-game senario, like "find a new job" or things like that.

Wow :smiley:!!! This is one of the best game jam games I have played!! The game is so fun I literally spent more than 20 minutes playing it. It would be nice if you could provide a downloadable version for your game cause I would love to play it more in the coming days. Good luck with your game and Congrats on your awesome Submission!!!!!!

Not the first game about homeless people I have played in this LD, but probably the best! Nice art, fun gameplay and the balancing was quite good for a jam game!

Like above, it's the second time during LD45 i've seen a game about homeless person.

Great game, it doesn't look *"jam-ish"* at all, looks more like a finished product. Really nice soundtrack, and art.

I wouldn't call it fun game, because it doesn't make you feel good, but it makes you think.

Really great work! The presentation was a perfect throwback and very well polished, no part of the game felt incomplete. I ended with 69 days and 1800 bucks overall (with about 1000 on hand when I threw in the towel), simply out of tenacity.
The game is likely impossible due to the food prices raising, and I suspect that was intentional to make a statement. Good stuff.
envy_softworks26 Oct 2019, 19:59
Loved it. Just kept us playing. Really puts you in the shoes of a homeless person!
ThatMalzan27 Oct 2019, 10:03
Is it possible to buy the house?

@thatmaizan : yes, but the price is supposed to be high enough to be a deterrent ^^
