I love well-thought games with complete mechanics and solid gameplay, and your is one of those! Very nice, thanks! You masterfully conveyed a depressive atmosphere of russian ebenya!

The look and feel of this game is terrific! It is smiple but sweet, it is really fun to start noticing the patterns of the inhabitants and exploring what you can do in this world. Great job guys! :)

The amount you got done with art and animation is really impressive! Really cute game. Missing the sound though, some simple city ambience would add a lot.

Wow, those police officers are not messing about! The mood and humor of this game is great, and the art is fantastic too. It wasn't super fun but I get the feeling that "fun" isn't really the intended experience of this. Hiding behind the dumpsters from a police office while the garbage truck slowly lifted each one was intense.

I like the dark feel and the graphics of your game very much. It just gets a bit repetitive after a while - loot the contruction site - sell - repeat - and I didn't notice a goal, you work for. It's just: Get more money. I suppose thats what its like in the real world. Overall good game. Good work!

Well, I became a verz respectful hobo with over 2000 RUB in my account :) The only thing I didn't understand - why can't I just buy a beer and a shawerma and have to survive on cigarette butts and leftovers? Also I love the gopniks - a really accurate depicting ... Lovely graphics, fun to play. Well done!

Awesome graphical mood! Seems like a cool adventure game but I wasn't sure what to do. I would say it is a bit too much slow paced for me. Very good work!

I loved the thug spitting, and that shoulder movement. Absolutely got rekt but still really funny to me, favorite characters honestly. I enjoy the hobo concept a lot, fitting with the theme! Gameplay and graphics are solid! Good job~

10/10! Лучшая игра, отличная атмосфера, чувствуется родной Руский дух! Только почему я не могу купить пиво и где водка???

love the moody sad portrayal of its urban russian setting, the art comes together very well for its purposes -- gameplay-wise after exploring the available interactions there isn't much more for the player to do, but i don't think that detracts from what this entry is

The art was really nice! I had to stop playing when I couldn't figure out how to sell bottles, unfortunately, but I did enjoy running around and getting beaten up by people at the least. Could have benefited greatly from some audio.
Neat game!

Best ldjam game ever !!! Even with no sound. I just couldn't not finish it! I guess you didn't have time to do something with hide. Anyway, 5 stars from me.

Funny game! The art was very good and had fun playing it. I guess some short term targets and sounds good make it more enjoyable and re-playable but overall a very nice experience.
