The art and music are fantastic, this is a lovely way to spend time. It took me a while to figure out that the toys dropping from the top were a sign that you've unlocked part of a series, not a random event! I wish there were a bit more depth to the events that happen, but I like the concept that how you choose to "spend" your time determines the path you eventually take.
Thank you for your kind words! I’m happy you enjoyed it
Zhiming and I actually took quite a long time trying to figure out the storylines and the sort of tone/atmosphere we wanted to invoke. And yea I’m with you on more depth! I reckon it could be more heartfelt
I just finished it, got all the items. I quite enjoyed this, I liked the concept of your money being your time, and depending on what experiences you focus on will offer up new options in life. I would love to see another free game use the gacha mechanic for something, because I like collecting things and this game itched that desire, and I'd like to see it more in a way that isn't intrusive gambling.
I'm glad you got the concept! The theme for the game jam was "Your life is currency", so that was our take on it. We're totally open to expanding and exploring the gacha mechanics. It might need to be a premium game to ensure it doesn't have intrusive gambling elements though. Would you be open to buying a game that explores un-intrusive gacha mechanics?
I would be in that kind of situation. The only time I really have issue with something like this is when its a gacha game where I need to pay real money for digital items. I generally don't buy things on itch.io and I'd love to see it on steam, where I can purchase it much easier. Either way I hope to see more from you guys in the future!

I really liked this! it was sweet and gentle and I adore these kinds of vending machines :)
Super cute and chill - great way to spend a few minutes! It's got a real "Florence" vibe!

super fun and addictive, nice and polished
Thanks for playing!
I liked it but it's unfair you can't tell how many there are in a series...
Is there a proper way to get things? I don't understand how the $3 tub fills up but it works sometimes with the collection mechanic...
Also, when you get the "Mental" toys, they say "Mind" when you get them...
Also, I ended up with $1 but no toys left in that part of the machine and I don't know how to go to the next turn....
Thanks for the feedback about the bugs/typos! Certain toys have more toys in its series to it will automatically unlock them and fill the tubs.
super charming!! thanks for making this :0
I'm so glad you like it! Jewell and I like making cosy games so we hope to make more in the future.
very cool
Thanks for playing!
