Relaxing boardgame-like experience, the nice music loops settle you in for a longer stay & the game rewards it ending on a high note! Lo-fi 1-bit dither graphics look great! Plus who doesn't like a good bargain?

Very cool! I have to admit, i didn't know what i was doing in the beginning. I read the instructions but didn't full understand. I was just matching pictures and alternating between buying and selling. By the time i got to the boss, i realised what was happening and actually managed to defeat the boss and have 1142 000 left in the bank! Very cool submission, i can't say i've ever played anything like it

The theme and music is great. A bit hard to understand how to buy and sell, but my money is increasing at least. The animations are also good enough to feel the atmosphere.

Great art and music, very meditative gameplay

The minimalistic art is stylish and well done. I would have liked an interactive tutorial to ease me into how to solve the puzzles, it was hard to understand the instructions and I ended up mostly just guessing at what to do. The mood, music, and visuals are excellent, though, and it's a really unique concept!

There were some glitches where the graphics got misaligned with the slots when trading but overall it's a pretty comfy game! Love the dancing person!

The game looks really cool, but I don't really get how to play it from the instructions, could you try explain?

The art for this is utterly incredible and after getting the hang of the gameplay, I thoroughly enjoyed your entry! Kudos for a great game.

The art and music a great, I just feel you are missing a tutorial or something. I did not understand what I needed to do. I red the description of how to play and it did not help me. How I would get money (do I sell items when I match them?). I am almost sad that I did not quite understand how to play :/

I liked the feel of this. It took me a while to figure out what I was doing but in the end I had fun.

Nighttime never come, do I miss something? I love the graphics and the musics.

Visually beautiful and a melancholic mood, I do agree with other people saying having a simple tutorial to teach you would be great but honestly once I understood it I found the gameplay to be super satisfying once it all came into place.

I was lost at first, but it started to make sense after a few days. Glad I stuck with it. I graphics and the music matched to make a relaxing experience.

It was very atmospheric. I thought the music was pretty tranquil considering how we were smuggling. I think its a fialing on my part, but it was only towards the end did I work out how to play. Somehow I defeated the boss. :D Very enjoyable. And I loved the art.

Really nice mood of the game. Graphics and sounds are really nice. However I find it hard what to do even with the tutorial. Couple of tutorial levels, with feedback on player's actions would be nice addition

I think this is what not understanding the sell / buy mechanics is about... to put the player in an unstable situation. Very nice use of 3 colors & animations. I had very good time playing it!

A great game! The graphics and audio were really good. It was a bit hard to learn, but became very fun once I knew how to play. The scene transitions were also great

Nice game, a little confused about why would I even need to buy anything, I like the twist after 7 nights :heart:

This game was really well polished - the animations, screen transitions and music set a really good feel for the game. I was confused about the gameplay too but the calm atmosphere made it really easy to just try and pick it up again until I understood what I was doing.

Very stylish pixel art and cute animations. I wish the instruction were easier to understand. I was just trying to connect 3 or more of the same icons. In the boss fight I only had one sword icon so I could not break his defense ToT

very relaxing game, but I didn't know what I was doing most of the time! cool submission!

This was one of my favorite games aesthetically! The music and art made the experience a lot of fun, even if most of the time I was just matching things until numbers went up. I also liked the twist at the end that completely flipped the script! Awesome job.
