Traveling Merchant: Final Exam

Welcome young student, I hope you have been studying hard because it is time for your final exam and become a great merchant! You will have exactly 15 days, 100 gold, and box that holds 10 items to buy and sell your way into becoming the best merchant around! Or, well, at least passing the exam.

Will you buy and sell at random? Will you be slow and methodical? Will you spend all your money renovating the towns? How you win, or lose, is for you to decide.

Buy and Sell: There are a number of products to be bought and sold between towns.

Demand: Much like a normal economy, there is demand. If a town has too much of something already, they are not going to buy it from you for much. But they may sell it to you for a steep discount...

Renovate: Towns can be renovated two times each, and their markets will expand, providing more options for your trade.

Traveling Merchant: Final Exam was created for MiniJam 154. The theme was "travel," interpreted and achieved through the travel between towns to become the best merchant. The limitation for the jam was "All in a box." This limitation is achieved in two ways: The player has only one box to store their inventory in, and the game takes place on a single screen where 90% of the art is a rectangular box.
