As a player I was confused at a few different times. For example, I played the game 3 times before I saw the ending screen. On one hand I wish there was more hinting the player to what was supposed to happen, On the other hand I understand that doing so would go against the design and aesthetic choices you were going for, so I don't know what I would do in your shoes. Either way you have made a fun and creative game. well done!\n\nJust for laughs I'm going to answer your question with \"Tomato\".

This was a really clever take on the theme, and I really loved the writing behind it.  The game's UI and objectives were mostly intuitive as well.\n\nI did feel like this game wasn't really for my taste.  For one, working with non-renewable resource was not exactly my cup of tea, and I felt the game price fluctuations were too random for me.  Even if the sales weren't random (which, it appears not to be,) the changes were swingy enough that I felt discouraged to memorize the best timing to grab each game.  For my part, I found the swift-crazy-sale mode to be the most entertaining part of the game, given it required me to time my mouse-clicks.  Somewhat aside, but I was annoyed that each sales phase ending would kick me out into the game listing page, again: it's a UI change that wasn't directed by my action.\n\nStill, the game does deliver on its humorous presentation, and it did tickle my funny bone.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1182094,"author_name":"ellaris","author_uid":"ellaris","epoch":1760269153,"text":"Pineapple\nCool experience, very accurate to the real world one, managed to get 13\/16 with 0.10 left over.\nI agree that being kicked to the main page wasn't the nicest experience.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1183412,"author_name":"lima victor","author_uid":"lima-victor","epoch":1760379459,"text":"I don't think those are fruits but I like bananas \n\nOh I like how you made game's interface look as real app. I can close or make it fullscreen via corner buttons and it takes PC username as ingame user's name.

The borderless window with custom controls, the tab-based navigation, button scheme... really good job. It's crisp, and... uh, filling.

The simulation only takes a few minutes to complete.\n\n## Controls\n\nMouse\n\n## Acknowledgements\n\nSoftware: Godot .NET, Inkscape\n\nMade for the compo from a blank slate Godot project and no external resources. No clankers were involved at any point.\n\nAdmittedly, this is incomplete even by compo standards. I had a fever throughout the weekend, so needless to say I was mostly out of commission.","title":"Fume: The PC Gaming Simulator","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/420501+420502+420503+420504+420505+420506+420507+420508+420509+420510+420511+420512+420513+420514+420515+420516+420517+420518+420519+420520+420521+420522+420523+420524+420525+420526+420527+420528+420529+420530+420531+420532+420533+420534+420535+420536+420537+420538+420539+420540+420541+420542+420543+420544+420545+420546+420547+420548+420549+420550+420551+420552+420553+420554+420555+420556+420557+420558+420559+420560+420561+420562+420563+420564+420565+420566+420567+420568+420569+420570+420571+420572+420573+420574+420575+420576+420577+420578+420579+420580+420581+420582+420583+420584+420585+420586+420587+420588+420589+420590+420591+420592+420593+420594+420595+420596+420597+420598+420599+420600+420601+420602+420603+420604+420605+420606+420607+420608+420609+420610+420611+420612+420613+420614+420615+420616+420617+420618+420619+420620+420621+420622+420623+420624+420625+420626+420627+420628+420629+420630+420631+420632+420633+420634+420635+420636+420637+420638+420639+420640+420641+420642+420643+420644+420645+420646+420647+420648+420649+420650+420651+420652+420653+420654+420655+420656+420657+420658+420659+420660+420661+420662+420663+420664+420665+420666+420667+420668+420669+420670+420671+420672+420673+420674+420675+420676+420677+420678+420679+420680+420681+420682+420683+420684+420685+420686+420687+420688+420689+420690+420691+420692+420693+420694+420695+420696+420697+420698+420699+420700+420701+420702+420703+420704+420705+420706+420707+420708+420709+420710+420711+420712+420713+420714+420715+420716+420717+420718+420719+420720+420721+420722+420723+420724+420725+420726+420727+420728+420729+420730+420731+420732+420733+420734+420735+420736+420737+420738+420739+420740+420741+420742+420743+420744+420745+420746+420747+420748+420749+420750+420751+420752+420753+420754+420755+420756+420757+420758+420759+420760+420761+420762+420763+420764+420765+420766+420767+420768+420769+420770+420771+420772+420773+420774+420775+420776+420777+420778+420779+420780+420781+420782+420783+420784+420785+420786+420787+420788+420789+420790+420791+420792+420793+420794+420795+420796+420797+420798+420799+420800+420801+420802+420803+420804+420805+420806+420807+420808+420809+420810+420811+420812+420813+420814+420815+420816+420817+420818+420819+420820+420821+420822+420823+420824+420825+420826+420827+420828+420829+420830+420831+420832+420833+420834+420835+420836+420837+420838+420839+420840+420841+420842+420843+420844+420845+420846+420847+420848+420849+420850+420851+420852+420853+420854+420855+420856+420857+420858+420859+420860+420861+420862+420863+420864+420865+420866+420867+420868+420869+420870+420871+420872+420873+420874+420875+420876+420877+420878+420879+420880+420881+420882+420883+420884+420885+420886+420887+420888+420889+420890+420891+420892+420893+420894+420895+420896+420897+420898+420899+420900+420901+420902+420903+420904+420905+420906+420907+420908+420909+420910+420911+420912+420913+420914+420915+420916+420917+420918+420919+420920+420921+420922+420923+420924+420925+420926+420927+420928+420929+420930+420931+420932+420933+420934+420935+420936+420937+420938+420939+420940+420941+420942+420943+420944+420945+420946+420947+420948+420949+420950+420951+420952+420953+420954+420955+420956+420957+420958+420959+420960+420961+420962+420963+420964+420965+420966+420967+420968+420969+420970+420971+420972+420973+420974+420975+420976+420977+420978+420979+420980+420981+420982+420983+420984+420985+420986+420987+420988+420989+420990+420991+420992+420993+420994+420995+420996+420997+420998+420999+421000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/0f\/0fdaf8b391ece18e5b2800c133ecbcb32f8dd818618fde27476aeb4c111bf979","record":"shard-0\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/58fa4f68a7e146d8a1ba7996cc110d4c02f508640ec437077051b0a5e353dc06.json","sha256":"0fdaf8b391ece18e5b2800c133ecbcb32f8dd818618fde27476aeb4c111bf979","source":"https","stored_at":1784022534}}
