PyWeek - Master_cheese12 - feedback

well done. very pixelate graphics... is it because you use pyxel? :D

Fun game. It's a little hard to know what to buy since you have no idea what's coming up. I like the simple aesthetics.

requirements file stated pyxel and audioplayer but game did not start due to ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'

Complete and bug free but I'm afraid the game is really boring! I struggled to make any money, had no real choices at the shops, so a few button presses and it's back to avoiding rocks. You could offer more trading options at every port, with a much bigger spread in prices, like fish $2, spices $250. The rock avoidance isn't really enjoyable at all, it's easy and you've seen it all in 2 seconds. It needs much more work - animation, variety, sound, challenge.

Cool game! I liked how you managed to pack two game concepts (economic strategy and dodging rocks) into the one game. The menus looked nice and the dodging the rocks was sometimes challenging, but not frustrating: I found there was a significant consequence for hitting the rocks, as when I lost most of my wine cargo, it was really tricky to try and make a comeback, starting from only a handful of dollars I had to travel pretty far around just to buy/sell some fish to get my money back up so I could actually buy anything! Thanks for your game!

A very fun little game. Enjoyed it once I got the hang of the trade and the super minimalistic river travel. Took me four tries to beat the game, but when I did, I did it with $1033 in the bank.

Nitpick 1: There seems to be an off-by-one and the final week ends with the boat and not with trade, the game finishes before you can sell your stuff at the end of the route.

Nitpick 2: On macOS you had to also install pyObjC for the game to launch.

$ python main.py

Running `pip install -r requirements.txt` gave me an error so I pip installed pyxel and audioplayer. Then I got: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'gi'. Sorry, I can't tell what requirement is missing.

I was not able to get to the end of 27 weeks.... The idea for the game is nice. It's just that it is very hard to do all 27 weeks.... I only got to week 7 before I quit....

- add == to the requirements.txt file

* loved the save menu option
* great how everything was drawn with blocks /pixel style. very cohesive and although simple it looked good
* the money / economy / trading idea was great. it was a smart way to make a more simple game a lot more fun and interesting
