@nolamosoft Yeah, unfortunately, the game does have that problem( I really didn’t have enough time to properly polish it, sadly.

This game is kinda interesting! Maybe the tip panel was a bit buggy since it stays in the foreground even when empty or repeating, while I could not restore it once closed. I don't think I undertood your take on the theme, but it was nice to play overall. I like the soundtrack a lot!

A rather chaotic gameplay experience, but the idea itself is interesting. Unfortunately, I couldn’t last very long :)
As I understood it, the main gameplay loop is to keep revisiting the slave sale page, looking for better offers, buying new ones, and repeating the process.
I’d like to note the unique visual style — that’s always a plus!
I didn’t encounter any screen resolution issues, but I did notice that when entering the shop, you can instantly trigger a slave purchase. It seems like the scene switches while the mouse input is still being registered — I didn’t realize at first that you’re actually supposed to choose from three options!

@psevdonim @fiordarancio Thank you so much for playing my game! I know that this time I wasn’t able to reach the level of quality I had hoped for, as I got too caught up in bringing my ideas to life. Due to my limited experience and time for debugging, there are some issues in the game.

Yes, there are bugs, but I really appreciate your patience. I’ll do my best to approach things more carefully in the next gamejam and fix many of these problems.

In any case, thank you again for playing!

It's a somewhat scary concept. I need to sell things to others to earn the price difference, but often, after bargaining, players don't actually have much patience. I've seen someone selling at a price of 2k, but as for the actual selling price? It's hard to say. Therefore, this requires more consideration of the risks. I’d like to call the game a stock simulator :)

If I only need 5k to know what happens next, I would keep trying, but for someone like me who is risk-averse, I can only slowly advance the game's progress and look more at the guys in these cages—poor things.

@yibirabbit007 I agree with your comment, unfortunately it didn't turn out quite as I wanted. In any case, thank you so much for playing my game =)
