selling stocks seems to lose you money, but other than that very cool! controls are responsive and to have shop building mechanic in a jam game is neat.

I'm super impressed by how much you were able to do in so little time. The only downside i find is that there is really no challenge as you can just wait for more custommers. Game looks great!

@vipaka oh no, it might have been because the webGL build was processing still? It should be working now hopefully!

@fenix131113 Thanks!

@detectivedirk I might have missed something with the balance in stocks towards the end, I'll have to take a look again! Thanks for mentioning it :)

@ownedstuff It was a lot of fun cramming it all in! I had a daytime system planned where you had to pay daily bills to add more challenge but I didnt have time to get it done well. Thanks!

I was able to play the game! This is a fun little supermarket simulator clone, I enjoyed buying and selling slimes. It took me a minute or two to figure out how to pick them up to put them into their pen, but overall, well done for just a single weekend's work! The music was amazing.

Super cute game, had to stop myself from playing all night. Had a funny bug when i was restocking the shelf with someone next to it and my items flew straight into their basket lol

took me a long time to get to this point but i'm very proud of myself
Great game, would love to buy and play a full version !
if think the slime food was selling less than the price so I stopped buying it haha
thank you for your game

Super nice, franticly thorwing the bought smlimes into the enclosure is funny. Only thing missing is the dialogue system where you need to recommend the color of slime to the customer and talk about what food should you feed to your pink slime :D

@andreia they really like to run around :D

@vipaka I'm glad it worked for you in the end! Thanks for playing and I'm glad you had fun in the end :)

@damien-black I only wish I had more time to make more slimes, they were fun to make :D

@rita-shvets thanks so much!

@jeremyws20 the customers sometimes get a little excited and grab the stuff into their bags befor eit even makes it to the shelf :D

@adamlenglen That looks great! A few people have mentioned the food selling for cheaper, I'll have to investigate why because the prices are set correctly. Hooray for game jam bugs :D

@prunus-padis They are a lot of fun to throw around! A dialogue system would be fun!

Interesting idea, would love to be able to buy decorations for my shop so that I attract more customers :D

@alextagtal Yes, decorations and painting walls would be a lot of fun to add in too!

Yeah this is definitely something that could benefit from an update with new stuff. Also enjoyed throwing boxes around.

There is so much I love about this game. It did take me a few minutes to piece together how to play, but the tutorial info (and after I actually read it) was helpful!

It is SO cute. I think some people shoplifted my store?? I love the animation for shelving items!
I wish there was something to buy to make more shoppers come to your store to make it busy or change the name (but it's already perfect).

Moving around in 3D and being able to jump just because was so satisfying, and with this art style I felt like I was playing a Roblox tycoon again (wayy back haha).

A few times, after buying something or picking it up, my camera would shoot down, but no game breaking glitches or anything crazy. Loved throwing all my empty boxes in the corner or a slime pen!

@brain-siege-gameworks I agree!

@ecaterina Thanks!

@kirass Thanks!

@nick-halstead I would have loved to get a proper in-gameplay tutorial but had to settle for the pause screen one. Shoplifters is actually such a great idea to have to deal with, I'm gonna keep that one in mind :D Thanks for playing :)

Took me a while to get a hang of this game, though I enjoyed taking the first few steps to my very own slime empire >:).

Really nicely done mechanics, store tycoon style really worked well, nicely done! Cant wait to see it further developed! Reminds me of TCG card shop simulator

Nice relaxing game. I had originally tried building a real shop before realizing it's optimal to just cram everything in one tiny corner, so I had the worst designed shop known to mankind :D

Really hard to make money, seems like the prices are somehow less than what I pay for stock?

You managed to get a lot working in a short amount of time, really cool to see! I love watching the slimes bobbing about

After I found this game, I deleted my Supermarket Simulator because I don't need it anymore. 10 slimes out of 10

The slimes are way too cute omg !!!! I really like that kind of game ! But i think i found a mistake, because a customer bought all the slime food for only 20$ but it was written on the shop that i should cost 120 $

Fun game! I love purchasing a bunch of slimes and yeeting them all through the door before sorting them by color to different pens :D
Very cute slimes!

What a great store sim game, and in such a short time as well. Loved the slimes, they are a pretty fun interactable, and I could see you taking it much further. Placing items on the shelf is done in a really satisfying way - watching them all line up on the shelf is fantastic! I didn't make a lot of profit but my customers seemed happy enough!

@mehigh thanks!

@aranchini thanks :)

@kscerri hopefully some day it will continue! :D

@ricoshade thanks, it was fun to make. Hopefully I can do more to expand on it!

@poboy yeah there is a bug with customers taking more stock than they pay for, which I've solved but not in the submitted version :)

@hardytryer I'm glad you liked it :D

@mitsukoy I had a lot of fun making the slimes :D Yes that was a bug I unfortunately didn't catch until afterwards. I was cramming too much in :D

@jakob-meier slime yeeting should be it's own minigame :D

@bacalear thanks!

@ronn-fever Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

very good idea, in the trend of the current video game industry and well done in such a short time. there are bugs of economy with what the customers actually buy / pay, the balancing is hard to do

I liked the graphics but it took me a while to work out I needed a pen for customers to come in. It was also confusing that some items said can not buy even though I could buy them.

I love your slimes. Game really cool. Hopefully I was able to buy even without enough money, as a creative mode it was more fun
