Good & cute game :D spent some time gachaing (is that how to spell it??) and got plenty of the collections :)
PS: nice to see some cantonese here since I'm kind of a native. I didn't expect that XD (I even spent some time to recongnize it shame of me...is that hello, 4 shaomais plz??) I'm guessing that ur from (or live in) GD or HK haha
Thanks for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed the art and music. Thanks for sharing screenshots of those bugs! I will have to find some time to come back and fix them up :)
Hi! Could you go a little bit into how you managed to save data in the browser? I'm trying to do the same in a little unity webgl game and I don't know where to start, I would appreciate it a lot!
What happened when you tried? There's a visual issue where sometimes the toy flies out of the slot. If you remove the toy and put a new one into the slot, it should fix it I think.
I don't know if its the music, collecting things or the sayings you get when you get a toy. But this game speaks to me on so many levels. you should be really proud with your selves, this game is amazing
Great game!!! My only suggestion is maybe after completing one game, you can click on the stickers that have the amount to automatically put in the coins for that amount?
I love this idea! To be able to create your own gacha items and share your stories with other people.
I’ll definitely think about this more. Can’t guarantee anything yet, but if we made this feature, would you prefer to choose from existing images or draw your own for the prizes?
random question, yes, I love the game too. Do you guys know a place where I can record gacha? I do love the game, it is a bit laggy for me but I am used to that by now. I'm telling you, I"ve been searching for hours for a gacha recorder.
The music is really relaxing and the art is just so wholesome!! I love the drawings and the little stories that they tell :D I got all of them except one!
Oh, also in the collection part, the 3 dollar one should be "get out of rehab" and the 2 dollar one the drug one, but both appear as the "get out of rehab" item!!
I'm so glad you like our little game! :) Thanks for playing and way to go collecting most of them! Also thanks for pointing out the typo, must have flew under the radar while we were rushing to meet the game jam finish time.
Yes, I imagine!! I know jams have really little time, but i don't know if you guys are allowed to fix things later or then it doesnt count for the jam anymore :0 but anyway is totally understandable!! <3
This has got to be one of, if not my favourite Ludum Dare game. Its take on life is currency really put a new take on the idea, which I had not seen in any others in Ludum Dare 44. It took a couple of rounds to understand it, but the progression system, at least in my experience, gave the bittersweet feeling of time passing, of memories being made, while time to make more running out. Every new Gacha provided a new piece of that part of the story which ended in a satisfying conclusion, while also giving a great sense of achievement. If this game were developed further and given a price tag, whether on itch.io, another website, on Steam or another platform, I would certainly purchase it. It has not only been a great experience but a realisation of how precious time is. Sorry I wrote so much, but it was just an amazing game.
Thank you so much for your kind words and please don't apologise for writing so much, reading your comment brought a huge smile to my face! We're SO happy that you enjoyed the game and got such an experience from it. We were hooked by how the randomness in gacha machines paralleled the randomness in life and the need to use coins for a gacha just worked well with the LD theme.
Also thank you for saying you would purchase it if we developed the game further. It's really encouraging to hear that as a creator and we hope to release games for everyone to enjoy soon!
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

This game makes my heart feel warm! Thank you for this <3
I came to play lots of time later and it has saved what I got! Awesome!
I really think the art and music add to the experience, they are very fitting.
Also, I bugged it... somehow... I wasn't paying attention so I have no idea what happened
also...![](https://img.itch.zone/aW1nLzU0NjQzNDcucG5n/original/lRfVjw.png)

Hi! Could you go a little bit into how you managed to save data in the browser? I'm trying to do the same in a little unity webgl game and I don't know where to start, I would appreciate it a lot!
Sure! I'll message you with some info on what I used for Gacha.
How to reset the collection list? PC download version
Playing the game in incognito mode would let you play with a clear collection list. Or you could clear your web browser cache. Hope it helps!
I'm using the PC download version not the browser one. I've tried to clear Appdata but can't find the right cache...
Do you still need help with this? I'm happy to assist in DMs if you do :)
brings back memories ( ´ ▽ ` )
I'm glad! Some of the stories told here were from our memories too, so it's fun that we share these experiences.
Nice music! I had one of these in Japan.
Edit: No i had two of these in Japan
same. I was in Japan and had two.
Thank you! credit to music would have to go to Kevin MacLeod. I got a couple of gacha toys from Japan too!
where is the gacha life why do you say it's gacha when there's nothing from gacha in it
The word "gacha" existed before gacha life it just means its a game about gacha not related to Lunime's stuff
Yes, this is just a game about gacha machines! I hope it didn't cause too much confusion.
im crying
sobbing
Smh gacha kids
All of other of the gacha games bad
sooooo cute<3
i got tried drugs but it never showed up in my collection. I got it again a second time but it still didn't show up.
same
Ack! There's a bug with the 'Tried illegal substances' toy I'm afraid. It won't show up in the collection list. Apologies!
Sooo cute! Really clever!
Aw, thanks for playing! :)
Finally. A real gacha game!
Jewell's art really makes that gacha experience I think!
if you just buy the 1 dollar option you get stuck and cant continue
Oh no, sorry about that. Were you able to restart the game at least? Pressing Escape should let you do that.
Good game but using the toy option didn't work
What happened when you tried? There's a visual issue where sometimes the toy flies out of the slot. If you remove the toy and put a new one into the slot, it should fix it I think.
Just started playing random games on here, and come across this one. It's really simple, yet beautiful. Whoever made this should be proud :)
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you liked it. I hope to make more enjoyable simple games for everyone :)
aaaaaaaaaaaa my childhood! thank you so much for making this game! now, time to find the nearest gacha machine irl....
Thanks for playing Aria! We drew many inspirations from our childhood too for the stories in the game. It was really fun and nostalgic making it!
I don't know if its the music, collecting things or the sayings you get when you get a toy. But this game speaks to me on so many levels. you should be really proud with your selves, this game is amazing
Aw, thanks Wires! Making games that resonate with player is such a big part of why we make games. Thank you for your comment, it made my day :)
Thank you for playing, glad you like it!
so sweet, reminds me of some of my own life experiences.
This was really cute, I did a video! As always gacha hates me, but it was fun to poke around with it.
amazing, loved the game !!
it won't let me click and drag the coins into the slot :(
Great game!!! My only suggestion is maybe after completing one game, you can click on the stickers that have the amount to automatically put in the coins for that amount?
What a sweet game about life and its experiences :) Its sorta nostalgic, 10/10
Can you make a feature that allows you to add your own prizes?
I love this idea! To be able to create your own gacha items and share your stories with other people.
I’ll definitely think about this more. Can’t guarantee anything yet, but if we made this feature, would you prefer to choose from existing images or draw your own for the prizes?
Draw your own.
random question, yes, I love the game too. Do you guys know a place where I can record gacha? I do love the game, it is a bit laggy for me but I am used to that by now. I'm telling you, I"ve been searching for hours for a gacha recorder.
Hey there, I'm not sure what you mean by "record gacha". Do you mean record gameplay of our game, Gacha?
Kind of and also other games
The music is really relaxing and the art is just so wholesome!! I love the drawings and the little stories that they tell :D I got all of them except one!
Oh, also in the collection part, the 3 dollar one should be "get out of rehab" and the 2 dollar one the drug one, but both appear as the "get out of rehab" item!!

What a cute game! Love the art :)
Thank you! Jewell always makes sure to give the art that extra love 😊
It's a cool game! But..I ran out of da pennies :(
Thank you! Ah, I hope it didn’t bug out. You should be able to get more pennies by clicking the button on the top right when you run out of pennies.
Thanks for playing! We hope to keep making cosy games people love 😊
This is so amazing! Love it! ♥
Thank you for your kind words!

That's an inside joke between us as it's the only cantonese thing Zhiming can recite well hahahaha
Glad to hear that! Thank you :)

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!
