Nice work! Fun visuals and writing, and nice audio too. The long arm reminds me of Enviro-Bear :)

Some thoughts: I personally found the pacing a little slow. After discovering all the items from the park, it felt like quite a long time to get the 250 raccoins needed for the junkyard and its first bag, even when selling mostly hamburgers. Maybe the ~7 second wait between customers could be tuned down or even made shorten-able via a mechanic where you can invest to promote your shop?

Or maybe I'm just impatient :) In any case, really well done!

Thanks for the feedback, really appreciate it! Theres definitely a lot of tweaks we'd want to make if we did more with it, your feedback is really helpful :)

Hello! I'm curious to how you were selling mostly Hamburgers? Opening the $10 packs should net you a pretty decent profit most of the time, especially if you get that Race Car for $200 ;)

Ohhhh I hadn't realised those packs had better items in them. When I opened one early on, it only had basic items and so I thought the only difference was that you open three at a time and I decided it was a waste of money, since I could spam click scrounge to get a lot of hamburgers and dice. After grinding for quite a while I went back and tried the pack again and still didn't get anything new. I must've been really unlucky

Dang that does sound incredibly unlucky! But yes, open the packs they have some pretty expensive items at good rates. You opening a $10 pack and only getting "common" items you can get from the free scrounge is a 12.5% chance! Usually you will be making money after every opening.

Got it! Ok, so possibly ignore my comment about the pacing then! Maybe you could guarantee at least one premium item per pack, like they do in some loot boxes and trading card packs? Otherwise it's still 1 in 8 players who have the same experience as me when opening their first pack and then potentially draw the wrong conclusion and not try again.
