Love the sound effects! It was a bit confusing at first but at my third try, and with a bit of luck, I was able to end up with 270k on my bank. Yay!

Love those sound effects, simple but funny. Tearing down the walls is like, do i really dare to go any further, I mean money is money after all...

I would've loved to be able to do something with the money, other than getting super rich (or super poor for that matter :( )

The premise of the game got me laughing right off the bat. The writing supports that and the general camp atmosphere is very cohesive and pleasant.

Main issue with the game is the same as with minesweeper - you can lose on your first click, and often have to just guess. Since there's also fewer walls than there are tiles in minesweeper, the chance of that happening is bigger, and it killed a number of my runs. However, you did justify that saying the protagonist has no idea what they're doing, so aside from the frustration it did make me giggle a bit when I'd just tap a house gently and the whole thing would fall apart.

The sound design might be the best part of this game. Everything from the varied menu music to the whistling to the vocal sound effects are well-designed and compliment each other and the atmosphere in general. Only real issue is that after breaking a wall there's a bit of a high-pitched "hm" after a second of silence, which feels unintentional.

Minor nitpick - I feel that the green area of the building shuld be the largest contiguous area, rather than the first area created. But I see the reasoning behind this option and it works just as well.

As usual, awesome audio, that does not only deserve five stars on its own but also donates some extra stars to the Humor section :)

I was really smiling when I first opened the game.

The game itself is a cool idea, very smart use of the theme. The graphics are working well, even if they are not super shiny.

In the end I totaled the first and third house and still went away with $10,464. If that isn't motivating :D I think I should buy a house now.

Nice entry! I found the main mechanic to be confusing at first; it took me awhile to realize that it was kind of like playing minesweeper, but once I got it the game made a lot more sense.

The audio in particular is great. I find that doing sound effects with voices usually ends up sounding wrong, but it works really well here!

Bug report: you can click the "buy and renovate" button multiple times while the game is transitioning, causing you to lose extra money before starting the level.

LOVE THIS! Sound was great. Easily my favorite entry so far! Wasn't sure how to tell if a given wall is structural or not though. Or maybe it's just random? Either way, great job! :D

A simple but still super fun game. Well done.

Which wall is a support wall after all?

I loved the soundFX and the take on the theme. The gameplay felt a little bit unfair because it was base on luck. Overall pretty solid entry, keep up the good work!

Good Game! is the supporting wall random? or you can guess which one?

Cool concept, but it's very confusing, sometimes I didn't know what wall was the one I shouldn't break.

Awesome game! One of my favorites this LD. It's like a modern version of minesweeper. :)

This is a perfect use of the theme, Well done! I really enjoyed playing it end listening to the comical sound effects :D

Note to myself : Never break a house wall by myself...

It was a really nice idea and sound effects were crazy, loved it ! XDDD

Great game! Very well executed. Really hard to grasp the logic behind it though. Would it ruin the puzzle if supporting walls were explained? One of the funniest LD games I've seen! :)

Great idea and audio! Really enjoyed this one, played several times :)

Fourth try: over $600k

Great idea and audio! Really enjoyed this one, played several times :)

Not bad :) I wish there was more to the gameplay. As it is, it is just a game of chance. Sure you can keep knocking down a particular wall until you hit the 'warning' sign, but you have to start somewhere. So it's not a very fair challenge. The whistling was fun at first, but got old very quickly. I actually liked the non-whistling music though, reminding me of old pc platformers. Nice job :)

Really nice use of the theme. It's simple but effecient and pretty fun. I replayed several times.

Very nice job! I enjoyed knocking down the walls, but I am unsure of how I could tell what was or what wasn't a supporting wall. Great game!

That was surprisingly delightful. Did notice a slight bug (you can click on the Buy & Renovate button multiple times accidentally, and end up losing a lot of money while the house is loading)

Thank goodness I didn't become a carpenter. I would have been dead AND broke by now!

Vote/comment didn't seem to submit correctly earlier:

Cool game, with very funny story and great music. Would be more fun if there were some way to find out which walls were supporting, and perhaps more levels with random gen.

I did a gameplay video here:

I Had lots of fun. At least now I know I would not be good at this job...lol.

I loved the execution. The sound effect of falling building were perfect. I loved the humor and style of the game. I guess I just love Löve games.

I don't get whether the support walls are assigned randomly or if there is any system.

Really cool concept! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/kL8oXDGWrLQ

Very nice entry. The overall atmosphere is very good. Graphics are simple but fit the genre. Audio is perfect.

Gameplay-wise I'm not really sure I understand how to win. First I thought it was a puzzle game but upon replaying I wondered whether it was a guessing game instead. I didn't understand how to spot the supporting walls.

Anyway, with a bit more polish and a lot more levels, this game would be perfect in an app store. Very well done.

I have to watch a lot of home improvement shows at home too, so this game really made me smile a lot.

I first have no idea what to do but after reading that it's a kinda minesweeper I got the hang of it.

Also, the music is really fitting for that kind of show. :)

Great take on the theme. Love the whistling and the sound effects. Interesting concept, the only thing I'd have changed is to give the player a second chance if the first hit is a supporting wall as it's frustrating to lose all your hard-earned cash on an accidental hammer to the wrong wall.

I'm getting quite good at this - I managed to get just over 2 million in the end. Maybe I should buy a hammer, hmm?
