Being able to make a living doing what you love is easier said than done. In Jamsterdam, you are attempting to make enough for your bills by busking in the streets.
You and your friends live on a busy road in a very nice town. Looking to stay alive while doing what you love, you all meet up by the road to perform in hopes for enough tips to pay your bills. You are the singer of the band. As you have no instrument to play, it’s also your job to collect rogue coins.
You see, various individuals passing by on the boat behind you, walking in front of you, or riding their bike will toss coins at you. These coins rarely make it into the hat you use for tips. So, you’ll need to stop singing when people aren’t around to then collect the tips and make sure they are safely stored.
When your bills appear at the top of the screen, they will only take money out of your hat. Over time, you’ll watch documents appear about increased bills at the bottom of the screen, forcing your hat to drain at a much faster rate. The world will start to go gray if you are unable to pay your bills, so you’ll need to quickly collect fallen coins in time to get them paid. After a while, it’s just impossible to keep up, but you can try for as long as you’d like.
Jamsterdam is a very simple game done to a high standard, especially as it was made for the Ludum Dare 44. You can see how long you’d make it as a busker out on the streets.
Jamsterdam is available for free on Itch.io.
