Collector's case by HeadZerg
Pack. Bid. Profit. Every case counts.
In Collector’s Case you play as a specialist who takes part in auctions, assembling and trading cases filled with rare and valuable items to collectors. Pack suitcases of treasures and sell them to collectors as quickly and profitably as possible.
How to play: Buy rarities and antiquities at an auction, be fast to buy it on cheapest price but careful so your item fits into the suitcase. Sell suitcase once it's full of items. You can rotate and flip item with buttons below the suitcase or WASD keys. You can replace bought item with ones that are inside suitcase already. You can throw items that do not fit into trash.

Artwork is superb!
Unfortunately both here and on itch the embedded game is very small, making it hard to recognize things and to read text/money amounts.
Sorry for the size, we didn't think about that, might have been nice to double the pixels - will keep it in mind next time
Collecting, rotating, flipping and sorting all the items was loads of fun! Excellent game. (maybe only the bidding was a little fast for me).
What I missed was the ability to view the suitcase upfront, but I understand this was a design choice.
I can see no rating for the music, but I think it was a good selection.
The only problem I see is that I couldn't resize the game. I think it would benefit greatly from a 2x scaling, I even took a screenshot and can verify it looks awesome in 2x scale as well.
Congrats on the entry, great job!
you nailed the jam. we should learn it from you. thanks!
