Wow, what a blast from the past haha. I have a pretty decent N64 cartridge collection myself so it was fun to see that as a game. I did struggle to play the market correctly in the game, much like the real stock market. I wasn't able to complete my collection as a result.

Cool idea!

Fun game, difficult as well. I wasn't sure if this is intended but if I have games posted for sale and I fail, the posts to sell them are still up.

Thanks for the feedback ! We worked until the last second to correct the last bugs but it's still a bit unstable !

@trusty It might be a bug or the price is too high related to the market :D In this case it should be written it the action log on the home screen

I’m not super familiar with the N64, but the concept of this game really grabbed me! I can totally feel the charm of that retro gaming culture. I really love the whole art style that the fonts and color scheme is so good, especially the little character start button hahaha. It's so cute😄

That's cool idea completely fitting the theme! I played a bit, cause it seems to be pretty long til' I can collect all games. Not sure if it's a bug but when you suggest lower price, you can buy several copies of that game and try to sell them at a higher price, seems like an opportunity to gain money, but none of my listed games gos sold. The game in whole feels really nice and conveys well retro atmosphere

Wow, it's impressive that you added over 300 titles to this game. Although I'll admit that the amount of content also made it a bit overwhelming for me :sweat_smile: I think that negotiating could be limited to, say, 3 tries per game? So that you cannot cheese it by simply going one by one from the lowest number.

It was nice seeing some familiar titles in the store :relieved:

Very charming game! The sound track also had a lot of Nintendo vibe so it fit very well. Works very well with the theme and has that extra nostalgia appeal that made me instantly click it!

It would be nice to be able to remove games you posted for sale, both in case I regretted it or the game isn't selling for the current price. Or maybe I just did not understand how to do that, in which case it could be more prominent in the UI somehow. It also took me a while to understand what the "Prices" tab meant.

Is "Eolise" spelled correctly in the credits? Maybe it was supposed to be "Eloise"?

You are totally right @kazuo256, I should have prioritized the sale removal, we totally forgot about it 😅
I wasted way too much time integrating the real games database while a few custom rom would have been enough and allow us to polish it more and implement more funny features like random events

The Prices tab was supposed to show the current value of each game with a graphic curve of it's evolution, but it was too ambitious :D

Thanks a lot for playing and for your feedback !

(And yes Eolise is spelled correctly :D)

Nice and relaxing game, though I don't even know 90% of the games in here lol. I have also noticed the bug where after you fail all your previous items in the shop that you were selling remain there.

Very nice take on the theme and cool idea!

Really really cool game, I love almost everything about it! Very fun, too... Only that there is a bug that you keep your games that are being sold when you die and respawn. Still such a cool idea!
