I quite enjoyed this game. It's not as good as Kamidori Alchemy Meister, but who can compete with that right?

The game is light themed, but at the same time dead serious. It's really easy to lose because you need to pay off your fathers debt and if you fail to pay the debt monthly (or was it weekly?) you lose your house and it's game over for you.

This game is basically a collection of minigames, the focus of the game is shop management where you showcase your most valuable "shiny" items to lure people into the store and try to haggle it up to the highest possible price before selling it. But the worst thing that could happen to you is if you don't sell the item, that is you make it too expensive and the customer just leaves, so with that you need to learn what kinds of people are likely to pay more, and who are likely to pay less (for example, kids generally aren't very rich)

Another minigame is "item gathering" which is basically just a 3D dungeon crawling minigame where you get to pick a character to play as and then dash through a dungeon crawling level. This again is not very easy and although there is no permadeath in this system, the death penalty is high. (Failure to gather valuable items and defeat bosses to earn these items, as well as exp can often lead to the game over screen)

The game is a perfect mix of fun and hard with just the right amount of cuteness too.
