Finished playing through this game!
Some thoughts:

This was a good ol' time. It took me a bit to warm up to the gameplay loop, but once I was into it I really liked it. The loop of "go into dungeon -> clear dungeon and get loot -> sell loot and profit" works quite nicely and feels satisfying. This is quite off topic but there is a game called "Dark and Darker" that has a similar gameplay loop and I've been loving it a lot recently

But yeah, so combining the mystery dungeon format with a shop managing format really felt good.

Some suggestions I do have to have made the whole experience a bit more smooth and polished are the following, but also I do obviously get that this is a jam game and these would involve implementing new mechanics which is not easy at all.
-A minimap that works similar to how the mystery dungeon games worked, I found myself getting lost a lot and not knowing what rooms I had and hadn't checked
-to kind of tie into this, a speed up/run button for while roaming the dungeon, slow movement combined with me being lost a lot made some floors take longer than they probably should've. This would also allow for bigger and more challenging dungeons without feeling too frustrating imo.
-A bit more depth to the shop mechanics, or maybe a better explanation of the depth if it is already there. I had lots of things I could do like build popularity, upsell, undersell, buy new furniture, but I was never really sure if any of it ever mattered. It felt like the only real improvement that happened to my shop throughout the whole game was getting access to better priced loot like big apples

I did also encounter a few bugs, but the main one worth mentioning here was that picking up money off the ground in dungeons doesn't actually do anything. And then when you upgrade your license you don't actually lose the money that you're supposed to. These two bugs kinda balanced eachother out.

Lastly, just to tap back on the gameplay loop, it really did feel nice in the end, to the point where I feel like you could probably pull a more pure roguelite/less story focused game out of it, or maybe a post game. Climbing the ranks, selling bigger and better loot, getting a bigger and better shop, it all sounds really satisfying. But yeah, great work on your game! I love your unique jam games caruban!

I'm glad you like it and thanks for the suggestion.
Actually, I scrapped the minimap idea because I couldn't think of a way to implement it.
I will take a look at those 2 bugs later.

Caruban · Mar 7, 2023

Updated the game to v1.0.3!

Fixed : The coin picked up from the dungeon doesn't increase the player's money.
Fixed : Ranked up doesn't cost any money.

Hey there, I just started playing your game and I wanted to report a bug.

On the 2nd day, if you go to get your permit and then go back to your shop and come back into the front room from the back room, the "I need to go get my permit" event will play again, but then you can't go and grab your permit from that location, and you are unable to explore the first dungeon as the game says you need to get your permit.

Thanks!

puddingnator__ · Mar 12, 2023

I like your Game really so far, but I have a bug. When I walk out of the sleeproom, than the Game freeze and I see the mainroom, but without me. I hear the music, but I cant use any other option and I dont spawn in the room. I try to wait a while, but it dosent help. Have you any idea?

Fixed the 2nd day bug and reuploaded the game. Talk to Ms. Gourgeist to reclaim the permit.

hi i just started playing this and when i went to the first dungeon i was stuck in a square tile where my character could not move anywhere and i had to start the game over twice.

Flamefox250 · Apr 30, 2023

hello, I started playing this game today and I love it so far because I think the mechanics are so creative and unique but I have restarted the game multiple times yet still have this same exact error every time I try to stop talking to mienshao to hire an expedition team. Nothing I have tried has worked including uninstalling and reinstalling all of the files so assistance with this would be appreciated so that I can keep playing the game and hopefully others do not run into the same bug.

Here is a picture:

This happened to me when I opened the shop on day 3 instead of heading out to the dungeon.

Also when speaking to mienshao I encountered a script error
This happened when I selected team 2 ???, I was asked if I intended to cancel, but I did not want to, then I scrolled down to hit cancel, which triggered the script error message.

SomebodyRandom · Aug 2, 2023

I hired the first team and this happened

Agkuma · Aug 8, 2023

Hey! This looks really cool! May I ask is there shinies in this game?

Taradu · Aug 29, 2023

Hello! How long is this game?

PokeTrainer493 · Nov 25, 2023

There's still an error when you hire a team and then press 'Cancel' on the list of Rescue Teams, I've found that to bypass this you just press the 'X' key on that menu instead the team will stay hired.

Update: It appears a trojan has attached itself to the download file as when redownloading it, my computer got warned of a trojan virus and the download process of that file was interrupted so wanted to bring it to attention. Be careful out there.
