Only two things are missing imho:
- Elevator music
- A highlight of "almost perfect" scores in the list to the left, for easier reference.
A great and fun experience :D
Like @duandi said, some kind of music would be nice and it's pretty hard to get the right values.
Also it wasn't clear for me that you can also use the higher valued pieces since teeth arn't bones but they wanted teeth, so I sometimes dropped 50 teeth which were pretty hard to place haha.
It would have been also very nice that you can see which values where "Almost Perfect" on the letter / bill on the right, maybe with a little star or some kind of other visual thing.
But all in all keep up the awesome work!

The graphics are super charming and do exactly what they need to do. The gameplay was quite tricky to figure out in the beginning but at some point you can calculate everything. It's great though, because you have to come up with the correct maths equations yourself which makes the challenge in this puzzle quite creative!
It'd make more sense gameplay-wise if there weren't as many "useless" exchanges that can't tell you anything new. It could be interesting to have the NPCs giving you multiple different currencies in the late game, as that would add another dimension to the challenge. It's a little strange that they're angry if I give them too much. They should be glad haha!
I'm a bit sad that there's no audio.

It took a bit to understand what is happening since I see stuff on the left, the customer asking for something, and then I have to make that something appear? That confused me a bit since I thought they were asking for a button but gave me 3 tooth so I gave them one button but that was too little etc. Then I figure that what they were asking for is the equivalent of 3 tooth in buttons :P
