You find yourself on the street with no help in sight. Work the streets to get some cash to buy coffee, or drift off to sleep.

Passerby will give money if they like you.

When you have at least ¤2, use [R] to buy coffee, and fill your coffee meter.

If you end a day with a lower meter, the next days will be harder on you.

* Some people are experiencing a black screen when attempting to start the game, if so please try to change the resolution using the F1-F3 keys! Please also remember to fully extract the game from the zip before running the exe. I'm looking into the issue, sorry about this*

| Control | Description | | --- | --- | | Q, W, E| Change expression | | R| Purchase coffee | | F1 | Change window resolution to 720p | | F2 | Change window resolution to 900p | | F3 | Change window resolution to 1080p | | F4 | Toggle borderless mode | | F5 | Toggle fullscreen mode | | F5 | Quit the game |

No technical issues here, game was really well executed and genuinely thought provoking, you used your time not just to make a great game but also promote a meaningful message. Your aesthetic was great too, super unique inputs also. Really well done.

This worked fine on my end - windows 10.

I really liked your game - beautiful art style and simple controls/gameplay loop that felt very on theme.

Overall this is a really beautiful package of a game.

Congrats on finishing.

I'm also getting the black screen! Was very excited to play :(

Art style was very neat, probably more of an "experience" than a game so all my gameplay critiques were probably intentional game design decisions

This looks really cool and I was very excited to play it! When I turn it on I hear the music but just see a black screen. :frowning2: Either way, it looks super cool! Great graphics, music, and matches the theme perfectly! Hope you fix it soon so I can try it out :smiley_cat:

Great work, really loved the art style and the music fit really well too. Thought I was doing pretty decently, but had a bad 8th day where the whole world was against me and didn't make it past day 9.

I concur with the previous opinions; the art and music work well together. Also fits the theme quite nicely. The controls are simple and work nicely, though it's a bit hard to tell if you did something correctly (other than the sound of change). Maybe that's the point? Idk, regardless, I thought it was pretty well done.

Gorgeous art, fantastic music. Love the game concept and mechanics. And to top it all off, it fits the theme perfectly! Great dark humor, and it plays without a hitch! Very nice job!

Sad game :( Good art and audio! I liked the "It's free" on the newspaper- funny touch! Good job to your team :)

This game looks so cool, but black screen with audio on Win 10 +1. I'd love to play, wait for update version.

The game's launcher started but the maximum area was covered with black screen, the game was playing in a small area only showing its upper half. I was not able to get the full game experience but Good graphics and great music.

Couple things that really stand out. First is definitely the graphics. I've never implemented it myself but I've always like the 2-3 frame squiggly animation in games. Even if someone is not great at art (not in your case) it can make it pop and salvage an art style. Secondly, even though the controls are simple, I liked that there was slight thought into choosing which one was the best one. TBH I struggled with figuring out the correct mappings here and could only ever survive a few days. Most people looked gloomy, like say, the businessman with a briefcase. But eventually I found that he responds to smiles better. Now that punk kid, he's even better. Just smiles and donations all day! Very cool coat of paint over a recognition/reaction style game.

@vaibho @hellpug @farlandwinter @adam-gaskins

Sorry about that. I'm not too sure what could be causing the issue yet, would you be able to try the game again, and if you get the black screen try pressing F1-F3 to change the resolution?

Cool game! Some good work was done :smile:

The game seemed interesting, but alas I also ran into the black-screen-of-doom, and no amount of F1-3 could save me. Let me know if you manage to fix it, I'd love to play this game, the art style seems neat!

Incredible game, thanks for that!

Ok, thats not enough. That experience is great, i think that if that would be polished only a little bit more i could pay for playing it.

Great game. Background track sets the mood perfectly. The game is hard, as I imagine was the intention.

Awesome game with great message! Cheers!

It's fascinating to see an entry with a message in it, something more than just some memes and funny jokes inside. Lovely art style and simple but interesting gameplay. Good job!
