Magnus Bacon's "The 10 Second Sell" by MisterDerek2
After a huge oil reserve was found in the Rocky Mountains, gas prices dropped to unprecedented levels. This created a surge of spending. People want cars, and they want them now! The only problem is that the people are so busy spending their money that you only have 10 seconds to make the sell!
Instructions:
Sell as many cars as you can before striking out with 3 potential customers. When a customer sees a car they like, an exclamation mark will appear above their head. Walk over to them using the arrow keys and press space bar to talk to them. They will ask you a question with a keyword in it. To answer their question, type out the keyword. These customers have very busy lives. So you will need to answer all their questions in under 10 seconds to make the sale.
When a customer is interested in a car, a star rating will appear next to them. The more stars there are the more difficult it will be to sell them a car. GOOD LUCK!
Controls:
Arrow Keys - move
Space Bar - talk to customers
Letter Keys - spell out key words

The graphics are pretty and eye-catching, and the soundtrack is sweet!
I think the typing gameplay is cool, and the dialogues are funny, too.
The only thing I wish was different is that your character looked different from the others. Maybe he could just have a different color scheme?
Anyway, very nice work! Congratulations!
Good job!
However it sort of lacked any additional objectives or such, don't know. Some additional stuff to do would be great :)
Fun game to play a couple minutes though!
The music, the art, the style... everything is so awesome and cute.
I want to give you useful feedback so I will suggest you a few tips:
Make the tutorial ingame, it's better to read all that text while you play than having 3 paragraphs below the game screen.
After some time playing, they never stop in front of a car.
you really feel like a sleeze bag car salesman who just regurgitates the word people want to hear back at them
great mood cool graphics great gameplay 5/5
excellent foundation for a more substantial game in which you could introduce different characters, cars etc.
Knowing that I don't have to type spaces is nice, though. Time saver
