You are trying to impress the girl of your dreams. She is. You know her from playing Airsoft. Don't question it too much. To impress her you need to harvest all them moneys. You've collected some items from the nearby town, and have gone to the market to sell them. Some clients come in moody, some others are happy to be here. Try to haggle with them to earn the $10000 that the girl of your dreams wants! Also she needs the money by the end of the month.
The market is only open on Saturdays, so during the week you go to the nearby towns to collect some items.

Made in Vanilla Javascript

When haggling you can decide between 4 options:
Compliment
Upsell
Insult
Reverse Psychology

Different customers will come in, but you can read them quite well. Customer reactions are based on their hat choice and their mood, so pay attention to how different customers react!

After selling all your items, you will have to go collect them to "Picker's Paradise", a different LDJam game made by friend Phlip45. Everything was done in the span of 48hs, and we worked alone on our games.

I asked a friend to record me the voice lines for the intro and the end, and since she answered quickly I decided to use them. Every other sound effect is done by me, be it music or voices

Items

When clicking on an item you will see it's description, name, and price.

Customers

When a customer's patience is running out, they will start shaking. If they are shaking a lot and bleeding orange, that means they're at their last straw.
