    I absolutely adore this game. I fits the theme, the music is great, and I love the idea of playing as the shop keep. Absolutely great!

    An unexpected point of view of an ordinary gameplay, brilliant!

    Fun, good realization

    Great take on the theme! The graphics were well done, but I wish the UI had the same flair (i.e. buttons). The interface was very intuitive but the customers came in a little too infrequently (I never had more than two customers at a time, mostly just one). I was generating enough health the entire time that I could always afford to give 100% chance of return. Increasing the intake of customers would make it more challenging. All said, well done!

    @mharring Thanks for your feedback! You can actualy buy more heroes with green + button it the top right for 30 hearts.

    I didn't really get the concept but that was quite catchy and fun. Tt's maybe a bit easy to spam but that's a really cool game. Great job guys

    The game can be stuck for a long time, the idea is cool, only I would add some other way to spend hearts (and you have written that one person costs 30 hearts, but in fact 20)

    I enjoyed it, I think that with some objectives to achieve you could make it something really unique!

    Good job 😃

    I got confused at the beginning, then i went to the kitchen after that i added more heros and things went intense. Good job, i like everything.

    @antvelm Ah, didn't pick up on that. I would suggest making it automatically add more heroes over time to increase the difficulty.

  • antvelm · 30 Apr 2019

    @riper Thanks, ah okay. Forget to change text in UI

  • antvelm · 30 Apr 2019

    @mharring interesting idea

  • shadow30 · 30 Apr 2019 · ♥ 1

    Great game loved the characters and music overall i'd say 4/5 just because it got too much repetitieve. If you have time check out my game too
