Hey, this game is pretty fun!

I didn't encounter any of the bugs that other people were mentioning here, but I do have one suggestion.

Having the game remind you that rent is due soon would be nice. When I was playing, I was passing through the days pretty quickly, and before I knew it, I suddenly got a game over due to missing my rent.

That probably wouldn't have happened if the game let me know that I was about to lose at any point.

bugs:

As noted before, I'm getting the bug that freezes everything when you exit the sell window. it seems to happen more often if I click "sell all" than if I sell the photos individually. When this happens you have to force quit the game which seems to lose a lot of progress. For some reason it lost me one of the upgrades once even though I had bought that upgrade on a much earlier day

When resting til morning at night it doesn't rest until that morning, it rests until the next day's morning, effectively skipping a day. For example if I'm resting on the night of day 3 the transition screen shows day 3->4 like it should, but then it shows day 5 when the morning loads in

Pretty often no one ends up spawning in the morning, which makes me have to go back to the main menu and reload it

When the game reloads it seems to keep the money you had when you quit the game, but gets rid of all upgrades you got in the day and the bill payment you made during that day if any

I paid the bill at night on day 6, slept until morning, and I still got a game over for not paying the bill. might be related to the day skipping bug?

One of the maze layouts is impossible. The one with the big horizontal wall in the middle. It spawns you on top of that and you instantly lose

suggestions:

start players at the apartment and make it more obvious that's the "home base", I had to look around a while to find where to turn the pictures in and that's the kind of frustration that makes people turn the game off

overall:

fun concept, I can see how it can evolve and get more interesting as it goes on. Maybe it already does but I can't get past the first bill due to previously mentioned bugs. Very nice pixel art, I love that

I love this game but there is a bug that freezes the screen when i occasionally try to exit out of the sell window and when you sleep

I just tried to load into a previous game session, but I got a black screen, even after 10 minutes it stayed black and blank, I could press tab and open the inventory (I saw my mouse appear but not the actual inventory) Maybe it failed to load the level setup as I was not in my home when I left the game.

that just means I can play the game again and enjoy it again!

Love the game, my one gripe is the minigame hitboxes (at night pictures) I feel like they're extremely unforgiving. I get its about skill and threading the needle but its way too annoying to wait a couple of minuites for night only to fail cause your hand isn't steady.

Honestly, loving this game so far. I can't wait to see how far you take it. Also, I did find that once you get like 10+ photos, there don't seem to be enough girls to actually use all the film. 

Anyone know of any similar voyeuristic creepshot games? lol 

Ummmm... I think I've become a play tester for the game at this point...

I found two points to get out of bounds. One is a square blue building just left of the player's home. 

It... doesn't have a hitbox? A boundry? You can just walk through it.

The other out of bounds area is at a yellow building found after going to the camera store, then taking a left turn. It has a tree in front of it, but the tree isn't placed close enough to the building to prevent the player squeezing between it and the structure to go out of bounds.




Extra: Me in the void, falling eternally (at least till I quit the game)

PinkPixels, big issue, your game is charming for being so small, but there MUST be some kind of issue with your coding, assets, something, because a 40MB game should NOT be using 15GB of RAM. That was after only 10-ish minutes of playing, and I'm relatively sure that the amount of RAM used will go up with session time until the game is closed, which freed my tortured memory.

after a couple of days something seems to break and no matter what i do, i get a star when taking a picture almost every time. gets quite annoying. otherwise solid foundation for a game

Excited to see where this goes. For me, I would add an arrow the first time you play the game that points to the shop. Also, I encountered a bug where attempting to take a picture would immediately give me a star, and then it was spammable so I got like a million stars lol

Alright the mini game some times brakes and the bar just jumps off the bar all together, with little chance it fixes it self. next up the mini game gets harder and harder, like past few days have been nothing yellow hits, might just be skill issue or the bar it self brakes. next up moving left or right moves you faster than up or down, lastly after spending so much money i wanted to collect all 25 pics only to find out ending the day then taking a new photo removes the ones i had saved. over all a nice game demo with some bugs.

I'm loving this! This is great and I'm really looking forward to whatever you have upcoming for this! I'm absolutely keeping my eyes on this project.
