Bitter is a game about the bitter truths of life. How a hobo doesn't get any respect in society. How your reputation is the most important...

In bitter, your main goal is to (re)BUILD your reputation. A certain order must be followed if you plan to win this game. This game involves a lot of strategy and mind power, just like chess. You should be aware of your surroundings, how things can get out of hand if you don't act responsibly.

But the most important of all, this is the early 1900s.

This game was made in mobile(web version of gdevelop) so the keyboard controls are a little buggy. This game is a submission to the GDevelop Game Jam #1. It's just a prototype. The post-jam version of this game will be available to play soon and I promise that the Jam version will also be available. For now, it's just ENDLESS, we couldn't get enough time to complete it so we submitted whatever we could.


Dear AstroCookie,

Thanks for the daily cookies you give me as a gift, I feed those to birds every day.

I'm sorry, but the "Scroll Paper" you're mentioning is not for sale. It's just a part of the page theme.

I wonder if your gonna expand this game and make more task like carrying carts to people for money to gain good reputation

i cant buy the child a toy XD

(1 edit)

You need to gather $70 first, then only you can buy the child a toy

i did lol
haha funni bug

I unfortunately don't seem to be able to move via A&D, just with touching the arrow buttons. I am using a laptop, though it is a touchscreen,

Maybe the game has registered your device as a mobile phone because of the touchscreen, who knows?

The game registered your game as a touchscreen, thats why it won't work

Imaginative game design for the Gamejam theme. I love the prototype. There are a few counter bugs but no big deal. I'd love to see you continue fleshing it out with interactions with the different stores. You could add more scenes after the jam. (like in the country and other areas) Fun and original take on the jam theme. It took me a minute to figure out the day/night cycle maybe add a horizon layer behind the mountain stone texture. I like it! Enjoyed and rated!

Fun game to play! For the crying child, even though there was the money counter, I didn't know I didn't have enough money since there was no warning. The music also stopped after a while.

Good game. Rated!!!

I think it is a great game, but my only complaint is that there are a lot of sprites that look like they are all made in different styles, and they don't really fit well together. Other than that it is pretty good.
