This is a puzzle game where you trade items with different traders to get the correct item combination that the door opener demands to open his door, so that you can proceed to the next level.

Speed run of the game (by me). Spoiler Alert!

I think your game is broken. I tried to play it but it just gave a black screen with music playing in the background.

Nice game! The foresight into what future trades are coming is an interesting mechanic.

It is quite chellenging because of the trade sequence. Good job!

got a black screen with music :/

The black screen seems to be a problem with godot and exporting to html. I don't know how to fix it, but I have added a windows version of the game. @gerugames @ruby-interactive-games

Enjoyed the puzzle aspect of this one, also the movement was amazing, very fluid.

It lacks a little readability on the UI but against the idea is very well found and executed

Fun puzzle game! This was a good implementation of the theme. Would play again.

The movement feels really nice, so does the UI. Overall the game feels great to play. It's really tricky, the first puzzle game I have seen on the jam. I love the way you used the theme!

Nice - didn't see any bugs that others had mentioned. Good puzzle game - got really challenging at the end.

Very nice, cool take on the theme and an interesting puzzle.

I love the soundtrack of this game. Very nice topic and good lookin!

An interesting premise for a puzzler, however I found gameplay to be tedious without any foresight into future trades of certain tradesmen. It require too much trial and error for my liking.
A "reset level" button would be a nice addition.

@hajden You should be able to see future trades of the current trader, to the right.

@rillep Oh, I'm an idiot apparently :) giving it another go

Am I... wearing a bear suit? And robbing people? Great! ;D

It was a fun game, but hard to keep track of what was going to happen after each action. I abused the undo function a lot. Last level took me forever!
