Great art, nice soundtrack. All the different palettes you can unlock are great, you just want to go for another run every time. Plus all the events at each location randomly showing up makes each run unique. Making ludicrous amounts of money from an illegal cheese trade is the most hilarious and entertaining thing 10/10 It doesn't get any cheddar than this!

Nice art, theme, music and writing. The game play is fun as well, try and buy cheese low and sell high across different locations all whilst dealing with occasional random events between locations and paying off the loan shark. Push F11 for full screen, would be nice to have a full screen option in game and maybe a global leader board.

Sometimes, I dream of cheese. Great music, colourful aesthetics, witty writing. The gameplay is an interesting idea, but it could some quality things like showing the average price you paid for cheese you have - sometimes I forgot what I paid for, so I have no idea when selling if I made a profit or not! Or even during the game displaying the possible range of cheese prices (and each type has quite a wide range!)....

Learn what the prices can reach, buy at the low-end and sell at the high end. At some point, you'll end up getting lucky, whatever you're carrying you brought low is really wanted so the prices are really high. And if you're especially lucky, that'll happen with Gorgonzola.

Well I'll be damned if I didn't thoroughly enjoy exchanging an hour of potential sleep for an hour of fictional, high-stakes cheese trading. Good fun and great choice in aesthetics for the gameplay, I'm loving all the different palettes and will be going back for more achievements. If I had any recommendations or requests, I would ask for the ability to cancel out of the Jetting menu, as sometimes my fingers got the...

The main issue with the game, is that it's short. Yes short. By the time I figured out how to play, the run was over. It's fun, but it's a highscore kind of game, not something you'll come back to otherwise. In many games, there is a notion of beating the game, which is kind of trivial here. It's really only about the score.

It's the dystopian future, in a neon-washed killbot-infested city. The desperate citizens need something only you can provide- cheese. The ASCII art and story are a pretty fantastic backdrop for a simple little game about buying and selling cheese to get the highest score you can in each roughly 30-minute game. And for $3 it's a nice deal. I'd recommend it.

My wife sent me this game as a gift.. "This looks like that CyberPunk stuff you like!" I figured she had not watched any game play but.. this game is really something! This takes you back to keyboard only games of the past with retro music, cheese, and a story. Once you learn the controls and game system it is an enjoyable experience. Think of this more of a rogue-lite arcade buy-sell cyberpunk adventure, with...

Love the retro aesthetic! Great art, music and writing. Cheese is a very lucrative business.

A very fun and nostalgic game, the only game where I use a calculator and still have fun. I can't stop slingin' that curd, no matter how many killbots come for me.
