Weapon Shoppe by Erfeo

[raw]
made by Erfeo for LD32 (JAM)
As the owner of a weapon shop heroes, villains and miscellaneous adventurers come to you to find the right weapon for them.

Controls: Drag weapons over the customers to see if they like it. Drop them to make the sale.

This didn't really work out like I wanted it to. My plan was to have a lot more crazy weapons and bizarre customer requests, but I spent to much time on making graphics. The graphics are really simple but still took a lot of time, and it would probably work just as well as a text-based game. I also wanted to have some randomization so the choices would be less obvious but that didn't work out either.

Use the link below to play at higher windowed resolution.

Edit: I noticed some text was missing, so I went back a put some more work into the game. The post-jam version has some fixes, new weapons and weapon descriptions and a new customer.

Good start. It lacks a bit of a challenge though. Maybe the requests could be less straight forward.

Yeah, it was harder then I thought to provide the player with a balance of ambiguous yet informed decisions.

Nice idea. If you ever going to develop it further, consider adding a price aspect, like persuading the customer to buy more expensive weapon, or if you trying to sell them not exactly what they want, they will start to haggle.

Pretty couragous idea for such a short timespan. I can imagine graphics took a while. Nice job :)

It's too obvious what you should pick but I like the idea. With some improvements it would be an awesome entry! Graphics are neat, lovely style.

Nice riddle game where errors stack up towards the end.

It's a good idea, but you could develop it a little more. Take a look at Recettear, an excellent game about being a shopkeeper, for inspiration.
