Fun and addictive to replay once you know the value of the guns and simple to pick up. Would have enjoyed more decisions at the scrapyard.

Nice game. Too would've enjoyed some more decision-making (or a tiny bit faster animations), but overall pretty fun!

Interesting idea. I think it would be more interesting if the weapons you buy had an additional multiplier to the total score.

Интересная идея, но играть довольно скучно. Я решил перевести японский комментарий, по этому скриншот с результатами не сохранился :(
Но поздравляю вас с успешным билдом! Вы хорошо постарались. Единственное, переходы между сценами долгие

Забавная игрушка, в которой можно скоротать время. По стилистике напоминает первые браузерные игры на их заре, периода 1998-2003 года. Я люблю оружие, так что игра мне понравилась! Было весело попытать удачу в поиске разносортных пушек

An unusual game idea, but it explores the theme perfectly.

I was pleasantly surprised when I realized I had overpaid for a weapon at the auction.

I found the quickest way of getting money is scapyard, although it won't provide high level weapon. It might be better if there's any extra reward when collecting a full series of weapons.

The style of guns reminds me of Madness Combat and gives me a sense of memorable.

interesting idea, lacks of mechanics to obtaining more valuable items, had fun trying to maximize value by auction

Thanks to everyone who played the game and left a review! I updated the game to include 3 more guns (they were in the game originally but due to a dumb programming error the game wasn't giving them to the player :sweat_smile:)

At first it was a bit disappointing to realize it is a game about guns without shooting guns involved. But, to my surprise, it was quite fun to play. The short timespan doesn't leave much room for decision making unfortunately. Would have loved to figure out the gun value while playing for a bit longer. Maybe you could build an endless mode where you start each round with more cash or something.
Anyway, great entry!

A very American game! xD I liked the interpretation of the theme and simple but clean graphics
