Overall:
The game is incredibly extensive for a jam entry! It could easily work as a mobile casual game and has a pleasant atmosphere. The gameplay is fun, and I really enjoyed decorating the rooms. It could be more relaxing if it werenât for the timer. Iâm not sure whether the game might actually work better without it — of course, the upgrades would then need to be reworked, but in my opinion the gameplay would benefit.
I found it a bit disappointing that furniture pieces werenât allowed to overlap; for example, I wanted to place a rug under a table, but the game didnât let me. Still, decorating was a lot of fun, and the variety of customers added a huge amount of charm. I sometimes wished I could rearrange furniture afterward, but unfortunately that wasnât possible.
Graphics:
Simple but solid graphics that do enough to motivate the player to experiment. Everything is clearly recognizable. At times it felt a bit colorful — did you use a specific palette?
The UI also worked well and was intuitive to use!
Music:
The music fit the gameplay and supported the mood nicely. The sound effects were also well chosen and provided pleasant feedback when placing furniture or decorations. The occasional voice acting after completing a room was great too!
Theme:
It features multiple rooms that you decorate, but the theme was definitely taken into account overall!
Conclusion:
A well-made decoration game with some great ideas — and strong potential to become a good mobile game! A wonderful submission for the jam!
