Always wanted to participate in a gamejam, but I always chicken out in the last minute. This time I will try to stick to my guns and create something.

I'm using Gamemaker Studio 2, Photoshop, Aseprite, Magix Music Maker and Audacity.

Way to stick with it and submit something and nice job! There didn't seem to be a way to lose the thugs when they started chasing you so I ended up with a little mob of them a couple times.

Thanks for playing Don Fouts. If you put some distance between you and the thugs, they stop chasing you.

Nice concept, the art is consistent which is a good sign of any artist, I'm sure you'll improve to be a great artist

Woho! You made a game! It's great!

Cool that you create "story" to support gameplay, like losing money becouse character is clumsy!

I can't seem to find the gamestop. :p

Also there are some spots where you can get in loops of being punched by bullies? They are escapable, but quite annoying.

Aside from those two things I LOVE THE MECHANICS. This game does a good job of trying to make me manage my resources. do i buy candy, or hope i can avoid bullies? do i go the long way and drop some money, or do i go through enemies who will steal it?

Thanks @acactus . Yeah, the game could use some fine tuning. Maybe I get to it later and polish it up a bit. :)
