Ooh, sounds exciting! I'll be waiting for that update!!

(P.S. One more suggestion: how about making Pia Wurtzbach a character?)

Magandang araw, Junel!

I came across your game, Roxas Night Market, while scrolling through itch.io for games that could pass the time. When I read the title, I wondered whether it was a Filipino game. Intrigued, I clicked on and saw that indeed it was! I quickly looked for the download button.

I shared and played the game with my friends and first and foremost, it was such a fun experience! The sprites are so cute and the game was quite relaxing to play.

We’ll be supporting the game and whatever becomes of it. Thus, I hope you wouldn’t mind some suggestions:

For the “Average Joe” and “Average Jane” customers, wouldn’t the names Jose and Josefina fit better, considering the game’s non-apologetically Filipino context? We’d also suggest for Jack “The Businessman” to be called Juanito instead (like one of the rich kids in El Fili). Similarly, “The Granny” could be changed to “Lola Granny”.

If you’re going to incorporate Filipino culture, then don’t hesitate to go all the way~

While on the subject of customer characters, for “The Vegan”, wasn’t the movie Okja and not Okjar? Oh and her sprite design, instead of a western hippy stereotype, wouldn’t it be nicer if her colour scheme revolved around the colours commonly found in traditional Filipino garments like red, white, and black? We also caught the vegan eating from the kwek-kwek stall, which is a no-no since kwek-kwek is made of quail eggs. Lastly, “The Vegan from Vigan” has a nice ring to it and would be pretty funny in the character’s bio note.

“Vice Gander” is one of our favourite characters in the game. It was so fun watching out for them to turn into a horse! We got a nice giggle every time we caught them. We’d just like to suggest that the character should also attract customers to the stall. If a national celebrity was seen in your store, people are bound to follow.

“P. Diggy” was also very fun! The first time we saw him say OBOSEN gave us a hearty laugh. We love it! But P. Diggy should be busy serving the people, so maybe try lowering his spawning rate. (HAHAHA I just had a good laugh right now imagining the actual P. Diggy spawning from Malacañang to Davao.)

We also noticed that most of the sprites’ skin tones are fairly white. I’m sure it wasn’t intentional.

We’d love to see more unlockable customers in the future! How about adding a western tourist customer who has blonde hair and an I <3 PH t-shirt?

Moving on to the stalls, our favourite upgrades were the mascot ones. The kwek-kwek mascot and the banana man were so cute with their little hands and little dance! For the banana man costume though, how about giving him a little moustache as a reference to Empoy from “Kita kita”, the indie flick that passed the country like a storm?

We’d like to propose for the ice-cream stall to have a sign that says Sorbetes or Cornetta. Speaking of upgrades, the “pidgeon” (wrong spelling, by the way) upgrade for the fountain would be much more accurate if it were the maya birds instead. Or even funnier, the Philippine Eagle. And while on the subject of fountains, we’d love to see more fountain designs! (How about an Andres Bonifacio parody of the Venus pose with a red handkerchief covering his privates?)

More different kinds of stalls as well please! We suggest having an ukay-ukay stall and a souvenir stall.

Lastly, the restocking mechanic of the game gets too tiring and repetitive once you’ve unlocked all of the plots and filled them up with stalls. Halfway through the game, there should be a buyable or unlockable “restock all” option. Oh and don’t you think that leftover stocks from the day shouldn’t be transferred on to the next? Realistically speaking, who would want to eat day old kwek-kwek?

We love the game and we’re excited to see it branch out and grow!

Ipagpatuloy mo ang proyektong ito, kapatid! Maraming salamat.
