The graphics and overall aesthetic are definity there from the very first seconds.\nI can't believe how much work could be done in such a small time frame.\nGuess the price mechanic is nice though.\nIdk if it is a bug or the behaviour is intended but in the after-fishing screen you can assign prices\nindefinitly for all items one by one in a loop.\nTransaction reports could be somewhat quickier. Also price is just randomly chosen so I see no point\ninvesting so much time spent into guessing. (I could be mistaken)\nThis game feels polished as hell, no bugs found, the graphics and sounds are top notch. Great job!\n\nUPD: shit, I only figured out transaction reports now after publishing this comment.

The guessing mechanic also added a good flare to it and the vibes of the game are immaculate. Although I would like that there where more strategy when guessing what is real or what is not. (If there is sorry if I missed it).\nBut overall a great game that deserves being expanded.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1129235,"author_name":"Soul Grinder","author_uid":"soul-grinder","epoch":1744109144,"text":"Nice game, the graphics and audio were great.

I was expecting to also pull out some dangerous old munitions like in those videos on Youtube :D\n\nThe graphics look awesome. They hae a realy nice tone and pallet and the animations are great. The overall gameplay loop is great. I liked the combination of collecting treasure with the mechanic from Stardew Valley and then inspecting them Papers Please style! Some random ideas for improvements: I wasn't sure what impact throwing strength had, if any at all. Are the larger treasures farther out? Also I was not sure when a treasure counted as caught. Did I have to stay in the red\/green zone for some time or be there at a certain point in time? Switching back and forth between the view of the treasures and the drawing was a bit annoying, but it still felt like an important mechanic. It might work to make the indicators for fakes even more subtle and show the drawing besides them. If the indicators are subtle enough, you might even get rid of the time limit and derive the excitement completely out of the uncertainty of the player. Maybe even give them information that is partly unreliable or distributed (stained drawing + verbal statements from experts).\n\nIn any case, the game is a really solid LD entry. I would like to see a follow-up version :) Great work!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1129468,"author_name":"Yoav Kagan","author_uid":"yoav-kagan","epoch":1744111157,"text":"@stmatn\nThanks so much for playing and for the thoughtful feedback!\nThe further you throw, the higher your chances of finding better treasures.
