HOLY SHIT THE MUSIC AND THE ART AND THE SILLY LITTLE GACHAPONS AND THE EVERYTHING IS SO WELL DONE AND AHU#IEQFNKRSE ITS SO FUCKING GOOOD HOW WAS THIS MADE IN 72 HOURS

スーパーラッキーガチャポン！

The graphics are phenomenal holy...

非常棒的游戏！很喜欢用扭蛋表示召唤的形式！虽然时间很紧迫，但清新可爱的美术和活泼的音乐缓解了紧张感。而且失败的画面也很可爱，一点都不会有落败感，反倒会觉得这个主角也太可爱了吧。玩的很开心！感谢你们的制作！

I was already hooked just by seeing your game on Discord, and playing it confirmed that your design is truly fantastic. And the game's difficulty is just perfect, exuding a vibe of total maturity. I'm so hyped, I can't wait to throw my cash at it! Shut up and take my money!!

The amount of art and polish of this game feels out of this world. Nice job!!

Incredibly polished graphics, cute soundtrack, really funny voice acting. This is a great game for something made in a weekend. That being said I tried for ages and I could not make back enough money to pay rent, no matter what I did my summons kept dying to the slimes and the amount of money I got from the slimes wasn't enough to replace the cost of getting them from the gacha machine. It would help if there was a secondary way to get money that didn't involve summons, or if the slimes dropped more money or the gacha machines were a bit cheaper to use.
That being said, I really love the attention to detail in the animations, you clearly have some very talented devs on your team. I hope you make more games, I would love to play them.

Gachapon as a summon mechanic is genius, love it
And the graphics are amazing! Can't imagine how hard it is to put ouy something this good in such a short time

Amazingly polished game on the graphical aspect, congrats !
It got really laggy for me fast, and I whish there was more focus on what each gachapon pull does

This game is incredible! Congratulations for the great job!

First 5 across the board for me. Great job for a weekend! Love the art and the text was funny as hell. And I don't even like anime stuff most of the time!

If there's any constructive criticism to be made it would be the controls -- the movement physics are rather clunky, I would remove a bit of the acceleration or cancel it entirely when I start moving a different direction. Other than that awesome job! Would love to see that as a full game with more scenarios or just more space to wander around!

Woooowww, this was impressive. The art is probably my favorite part, and I love the humor and characters/world. Really adorable character design, and cool gameplay. My only thing I noticed is that I think one of the trees was not layered right(or the little guys werent)because they walked across the top of the tree where it looked like they should have been behind it. Not a big deal, and probably a quick fix. Awesome job :^)

Absolutely brilliant assets across the board! The pixel art is soooo nice!
Stressful but fun! It feels a little too close to home with spending more money on toys than expenses! ;) :P
What a submission! I applaud you! 5 stars!

Sadly I was 20.000 short of paying the 100k rent.
Amazing graphics and audio, humor and mood are all fantastic.

I was not able to play on firefox as the game was stuttering vehemently. The gameplay itself is not bad, but I had some performance issue even in chrome and I wish my gachas didn't die so fast so I could actually build up a team. The optimal strategy I found was identifying a route of 6-7 machines not too far apart, then running that route up and down until the game over. At some point it is just a barrage of fighting sounds and off-screen battles. Not sure what could have been done there to improve but I still had fun regardless. Perhaps reducing the aggro range of the monsters and zooming the camera out a bit more so you can actually pick your fights. Its hard to build up a team when something just runs into you at random. Also sometimes soda-monsters would appear super early once i built up a team, did you guys put in a active counter mechanic?

In conclusion great game with amazing assets, a bit more polish on the game-play loop would make it fantastic.

Oh, and until someone posts a higher score, I am claiming the title of gacha-empress

EDIT:
I think this is my limit, 170k short of the 300k

Wow this art style is absolutely awesome. The little 3D animation is the icing on the cake! :sparkles:
Props to the entire team! :)


It goes without saying it, but stellar presentation all around. It really is impressive how many of the gachamons you created, and all of them look great ( or atleast the one's I saw so far. Although I'm sure the other ones also look great )

The audio is also pretty cute as well. Especially the duck lol

However, I have some qualms with the gameplay. I think the game would've benefitted from the player's movement being more snappy in general. That and I think it was a little annoying have the gachamons attacking an enemy I didn't want them to. Especially when it meant that they would die if their health was too low.

Admittedly this does add to the overall tension of the gamesince it forces you to move quickly and prioritise which gacha vendor to get to, but I think it would be better if you could decide when your gachas attack as opposed to them auto-targetting

Regardless of that though, this game's got a ton of charm and was damn fun

Great gacha summoning idea. I lost at the 50k rent mark though and at some point I was only ever fighting blue lobsters? I think it would've been nice for the creatures to be spread around you instead of standing on top of each other, to make it more satisfying to collect lots of them!

I love this game, it is the most fun I had so far. The art is wonderful, it is funny, fun, colorful, and the game made me consider adding duck to my diet, Great job!

@wouterk12 I did the little 3D animation, glad you enjoyed it haha!

@she-wrote Did you know eating your landlord duck is illegal. I don't make the rules, but make sure to vote in your local elections if you have an issue with the rules.

i really enjoyed this one on the art style and the original take on summuning.
great work

I particularly appreciated the variety of little guys we could summon. Nice work!

It is a really great game, loved the artstyle and voices.

THIS GAME IS SOOOO CUTE!!!! The art, fun, music, and voice acting all fit the vibe super duper well. Love everything about this little gem, great job!

Wow really fun concept I loved playing this one! the art is absolutely amazing! This is one of the best games I've played in this ld55. I wish there was more content, consider working on it more!

Very cute and polished! Gachapon!

I feel like as long as you don't overspend in the beginning, the game can go for a while.

I love how the slimes feel so maplestory-esque. There's a lot of polish, like the 3D gachapon animation and all the art assets are stunning. Maybe a bit of screenshake could emphasise the hits when your gacha-guys are going ham. I'm not sure why but the audio cut out and didn't restore even when I refreshed the browser. Great game, good job guys!


Sooo fun, I had a lot of pleasure to play this game. I love the idea!
Sounds are great but a bit loud

Thank you for this game, I had a very cool moment.

Saw woz play this on stream so had to give it a go. Really unique take on the theme. Love the style and humour. The game became a bit laggy after a while but other then that great submission!

This is amazing :D fun, original, the sounds, grapihcs everything is perfect :D

Cool casual pixel! Such a gacha! Cool! The girl has a voiceover! This is cute! I loved the references!

Yoo, such cool art! I really liked it! And the game itself is enjoyable!

Seriously impressive for a gamejam game. Huge props to the entire team. The take on the theme, collecting gachapons as summons is such fun idea. It did take me a while to understand the mechanics fully, but once I did I really enjoyed it. Easily one of my favourites.

Its just like real life

Sensory overload the game! I think this game feels exactly like it should, took a moment to figure out the strategy to get going, but with 2-3 "minions" and a bit of RNG I had a great time. Really cool entry!

This was quite fun! Nice submission. You guys clearly put a lot of heart into this game. My only critique is that I wanted to read what the duck was saying but felt like couldn't while needing to run around to collecting more Gacha! This game is going to score so high!

Super Awesome Ludum Dare Entry!

Very cool game! Was kind of a lot to keep track of at once in the later levels, but that's to be expected. Visuals are super clean and gameplay is super intuitive. Gameplay music is chill, i dig it, but honestly that intro theme is gas I wanted more of that lol. Great work!

Haha what a well polished game! The graphics are crisp, audio is adorable, gameplay is simple, each individual Gacha was super fun. Really great entry, I had a lot of fun playing!

Wonderful wonderful!! Pixel retro style - blows your mind!! This is an old NES game, really. Maybe I would like more varied gameplay. But 100/10!!

@i-cam thank you! The intro theme is the one I worked on the least amount if you don't include the evicted jingle. But I have heard a lot of people like it so I might just have to turn it into a full song.

I think my PC is getting old now, I struggled with FPS once I got the $1000 vending machines.

Loved the art style and the idea of the game, I got a bit lost wandering parts of the city with no vending machines. It'd be cool to have some indicators of where to find enemies / vending machines etc.

I really liked your game. The idea is really good but there's a bunch of problems that I can't oversee. As a pixel artist I think see the Kit Bashing here, I guess? Look man I don't know if you had these sprites hanging around and put it into the game to spare time, but the styles don't match with eachother. It looks good with the Gachas, but when the player sprite don't match with the enemies nor the enemies match with eachother neither the background, it really looks weird.
Also the game play loop has some issues. I managed to hit the Due: 50000 only looping on 3 near gacha machines. The enemies drop way to many coins and have way to much life later on. A really good game idea but I wasn't so fond of. Just my opinion.

Phenomenal game. Such great art and sound design, and a fun gameplay loop! I hope you develop this further! Only thing I wish is that there was something more I could do as a player to target enemies, or help my gachapons to avoid attacks.

@Romulo-Developer heya ^^ one of the artists here. first off, thank you for playing our game ! as for the sprites, they were all made during the jam ! i suppose some things not matching up is due to the little time we get for the jam + having 6 artists with different styles work at the same time to get things done as fast as possible haha. besides that- we appreciate your input !

@blanketc Oh, ok then! Sorry if I sounded like I was hating on your art. It is just really awkward seeing all these styles that are so different in a single project. The thing I was most put off honestly is that while walking on the map I noticed that the trees were just flat, no depth, and that was the moment the art started falling apart for me. Again, sorry if I sounded like hating. :)

Just wanted to say that as someone with a 60% keyboard, I have no arrow keys, unless I press my Function button and use IJKL, but Function + Z (which you use for running), equals my PC going to Sleep (Zzz...). So I wasn't able to actually play at all seeing as I can't interact and move really. Hopefully in the future you add remapping for key-binds, or alternative such as WASD for movement.

@romulo-developer it didn't come off that way so no worries ! the team is working on some fixes and if we decide to- we might touch on the art as well ^^

I loved it! congratulations!

When I grow up I want to draw like this...

Gachapon!!

I reached 10000. Does this game have an end?

The art in this game is absolutely incredible, you all did a great job. The game has just a joyful feel to it, it's great. Now I'm going to be stuck grinding this in order to get a good score. Some of the people in the comments here are way too good at this.

Good game, the graphics are just amazing. I liked the wide variety of your creatures and enemies. I've reached a rent of 50,000, not sure if there's an ending here.

Very cute, beautiful game

So cute! I particularly liked the voice acting in the game. It was really hard though! I guess that makes it accurate at least haha

I lost it at paying the 5K rent. I just needed one more pull! Just one more pull before rent was due! It is not like I have to, but you know, the team had to grow and I needed to hear GACHAPON just one more time!

No but really, it was fun to see how you incorporated the gacha mechanic with the automatic fighting and gave it an external incentive with the duck landlord. Total chaos that works really nice together! :grinning:

Saw one comment about this looking like a NES game, but for me it feels more like a Game Boy Advance game, I wonder if that's intended :)

Not only the graphics are beautiful, I like the attention to detail, like the base of the characters being an indicator of how damage they took.

Can't believe this is a game jam game, it's more polished than fully released games I've played! The art is beautiful, the music is super catchy, the animations are so full of charm, it feels great to run about, the creatures and enemies have such creative designs and the voice acting is wonderful (I'm going to be shouting "Gachapon" all day now). What an incredible effort here, huge well done to all of you.

Such a funny twist on the summoning theme. Great job.

nice job, visually amazing! I like how the vibes are all happy and fun, but when you get evicted it hits you with "the world is a curl ride and Im only a passenger" Lmao

Incredibly charming, I love everything about this! Wonderful aesthetic, good theming, and a wonderful variety of gacha lads. Great job!

Really well made game. Most of the things I could comment on for improvements youve already fixed in the post jam version as well. Graphics are really good and theres a lot of polish thats goes a long way to make it feel great to play. Went through it on a stream (vod is below with a chapter for your game (9th chapter) if you wanted to watch me go through it)

And I'm the host for the ludum dare score chasers tournament this Ludum Dare. Wanted to ask if youre fine if I put some gameplay of the game in an intermission video. Last year for reference:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM_eIvjBmIQ

If only I could pay my rent like that! ;)

Good fun and really cute design with sweet colors, but when there are people on screen the game slows down and jerks.

Nice job!

Brilliant game, awesome graphics and sounds. Now I got an addiction for the game lol

Hi! Visiting you back!
What a beautiful game and a solid entry you guys made! Lovely art, music and humor!
Congratulations! I'm wishing a great score to you guys!

@frango No joke myself and another of the team members haven't been able to stop playing it haha

@andruid Nice to see you here! Good luck with your game too!

yo this was rad as hecks! very polished, cute vibes, tons of character sprites like actually crasy how many different lil dudes there is. my strat ended up being finding this spot where theres 4 machines lines up pretty close and just running back and forth between them to keep buying, and sometimes going down a street if my guys arent fighting someone xD

heres what i got in web build (v1.2 i think)

"When Art pictures the real life"...
It was an amazing experience! Loved the art concept. It was very funny.
It reminded me how it its my life... struggling to just survive and pay my monthly rent... (crying inside).
I wish you all the best.

very cute game lol nice work!

OMG lol this was hysterical and absolutely wild. Plus​ more cute critters died in this game than probably any other game I've played 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I eventually kept running right and left down a road with a 1,000, a 100, and a 300 machine and was making BANK but couldn't keep up with that 50,000 rent payment... I tried, darn it 😅

## Gacha! yeh!

Amazing game! Super well executed gameplay and art! Only thing I can think of that could be improved is sometimes the character doesn't always face the direction of movement, but I might be hallucinating. Great work!
