Trade up at the Bizarre Bazaar! You’ll start with nothing - pick something off the ground and trade it up with the merchants around by clicking, or pressing space, on the item they offer. Don’t get greedy! Keep trading though, and you’ll make it to the moon!

Progressing in the game felt really fun :)
To me personally the "Greed Chance" value was not really clear as the value showed lower as the chance was higher? Also the game seems to ramp up pritty quikly in terms of money and sometimes it shows duplicates, witch is quite weird.
Also you have the same code idea as we had, only we were only with 2 so it looks a little bit less polished :) Check it out if you like :smile:
Overall a great game!
The background feels a little empty, maybe add some elements with a little brighter colours to get a better sense of a busy colourful market.
Maybe add an inventory system (say having up to 3 items in person) it could add to the complexity.
Theme-wise it's unclear why being greedy is a negative thing, it's a market and I’m trading goods that are offered to me. Maybe calling it reputation instead would fit better.
The gredd mechanic was not quite clear to me. Nevertheless, I managed to get hold of the moon on my first try ^^
Love it.
A very minor detail: I noticed that the player character is drawn on top of the foreground leafs (which you only see if you walk to one of the sides). Also, after winning, if you give up to give it another go, the nice music is very soft!
