Street Performer
This game was created by DapperNurd for the thatgamecompany × COREBLAZER GAME JAM 2025. The theme was "Generosity".
The game is a rhythm idler. You earn money by playing music. Better music will ultimately be more rewarding. Purchasing upgrades will help you earn more income. The more you purchase, the more new upgrades you will unlock.
Unfortunately, it seems for my build for the game jam, none of the accessories are working. I apologize. They were implemented, but something went wrong with the build.
Premise
In "Street Performer", you live the simple life of a street performer. Play instruments on the street for the crowd of people walking by in attempts to earn some money from their generosity. Use the money you earn to buy upgrades to increase your popularity.

I love the concept! Could I ask what is considered to be "better music"?
It's mostly just keeping track of chords and known progression of notes in order to see if commonly played together notes are played. It's not super robust, and it definitely could use some work if it was a full game, but it got the job done.
