I loved this game and I hope you continue working on this. It was so much fun and has a lot of potential. <3
Thanks for your encouraging feedback! I do plan to work on the game further.
Very nice, I see a lot of potential with this idea, with more tiles, expansions to the map etc.
Thanks for the feedback! That's good to know. I'll work on expanding this.
Literally got 178 three times in a row. More feedback would be nice. I'm not sure why every time I drew a card it would immediately discard, and why some buildings lost 3 points when another was placed.
There are terrain tile effects. Like if you place a card next to a Desert, it would trigger a discard from the hand. And placing a building next to a Swamp gives it -3. If a building lost 3 points when another was placed, the only combination I can think of is Factory (-2 to nearby buildings), being placed nearby a Barn, which loses 1 anyway each turn. I'll work on making these changes easier to follow.
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
Loved it. Simple, beautiful graphics and gameplay. Would be great if buildings highlighted the tiles they were affecting.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked it.
You mean something like you hover on a building and the cells affected get highlighted? That's a good suggestion, I'll definitely add it. Cheers!
Fun game. I'd play this outside of the jam!
Thanks for playing! That's really encouraging :)
This was a really good game. i had so much fun with the complexity of the cards! great work!
Thanks for the feedback!
Unfortunately missed seeing you play it on the stream. Any chance of getting the video recording?
Yaaay, I won! :D I loved it, simple but with lots of little mechanisms that when working together make this game very satisfying and cool. Not only is it already very polished, but I can definitely see this as a full game on steam with levels, maybe even a story. Really great game! Enjoyed it a lot, was addicting, everything looks and sounds gorgeous, you should be proud!
Thanks for playing and your great feedback!
Your words are very encouraging, will work towards that vision :)
This game’s minimalist art and fantastic music create a compelling experience that’s hard to put down. The gameplay is addictive and rewarding, though a bit more variety in levels would be great.
Also try our card gameThx in advance!
Thanks for the feedback, and glad you liked the game. I'll work on improving the game further.
Would love to play your game. However I don't have a Windows machine. If you make a Web or Mac build sometime I'd be happy to play it. All the best!
Love the game and the simplistic art style.
A randomised board layout could be fun and add a bit more replaybaility.
Amazing music, would honestly just leave it on in the background for the nusic.
Thanks for the feedback!
Can you elaborate on what you mean by "randomised board layout"?
That the spaces you can not build on are in a random position so that every game you have to think about where to place what card instead of saying certain cards go in certain positions
Right now the terrain tile positions are fixed, but they keep getting shuffled around. Had planned for more terrain tiles as well. But yeah, position is something to vary as well. Have to see about keeping it balanced though. It's a fair suggestion. Thanks!
Just FYI, I made the terrain layout randomized, and I'd say it's working well. Although there a few imbalanced combos, it seems to be fun overall. It's live on the current build, with quite a few more cards and changes. Cheers!
Once you figure out the strategy, this game is really fun. The minimalist art works and the music goes hard! My only complaint is, there isn't more levels or modes, definitely wish there was more!
Glad to know you liked it. I'll work on adding more to the game in the next versions. Your complaint is encouraging :)
Thanks for playing!
Very interesting and novel idea. Very well executed. It was intuitive enough that I understood it fairly early, and the UI is nice and clear. I think the concept has a lot of further potential if you'd like to make a full game, but this is a great beginning!
Thanks for playing!
Hope to improve this further towards a full game. Your encouraging feedback definitely helps :)
Awesome game idea, it's really fun to play, and nicely fits theme
Thanks for playing and the feedback!
I really enjoyed this, I've been playing it over and over again until I finally won.
Great job, it's got good music, good game play and good graphics. I'm impressed.
Glad to know you liked the game. Your comments are very encouraging :) Thanks for the feedback!
I remember you had suggested on the stream a building that destroys other buildings. Just FYI I've included such a building now. The Castle (repurposed), it now absorbs a random nearby building upon placement. It's live on the current build, with quite a few more cards and changes. Cheers!
Nice!
This card game is a pretty cool concept, great work!
Thanks for your feedback!
My turn, Draw! Monsuta-- sorry wrong game.
Very addicting strategic card game, I played a few rounds but it looks like the storm is too powerful it beat me good. Overall nice little experience!
Thanks for playing! Glad to know you liked it. Hope you beat it sometime :)
Wow, this is amazing! I love all the cards mechanics, makes you really plan ahead to get the most out of them. In my first play, I was dumb enough to not pay attention to what initial tiles do, so I was wondering why my +20 nuclear plant became +5 (I placed in near the jungle, lol).
I had much fun playing your game, great job!
Thanks for playing and your feedback!
Haha! Yeah I didn't put that in the instructions I guess. Glad you had fun.
Really fun! I got 204 points! Such a polished and great game!
That's a great score! Thanks so much for your feedback :)
Really cool game! The art and the gameplay! Nice work!
Thanks for your feedback!
This game is amazing
1) fun gameplay loop, i played several times
2) cards are all meaningful and have interesting interactions, every card does something different and purposeful
3) fits gamejam theme well
4) storm cards are random and can disrupt your build, lets to extra exciting gameplay and thoughtfulness in building placement
5) art and design isstrong and evocative and representative
6) the game board is neatly designed with spots that don't allow a building to be place (is there a special building that can be put on those spots??)
7) game is fully playable with no bugs or issues that I encountered, polished
8) my one gameplay criticism would be if the player doesnt have good card draw they're very affected by just playing the top of the deck each time, maybe one game i got hit with just too much discard and seemed like i was monotonously playing one card after the other off the top off my deck without any though. That was my first game though on my 3 subsequent playthroughs I was combing off
Lastl remarks: I think our gamejam games are similar in style, both use methodical tactical and puzzle analyses to play through
Thanks so much for your detailed, helpful and encouraging feedback!
6) Great question! There's no card like this right now, but I don't see why not. I had considered placing buildings on top of each other as well with some associated effects, but wanted to keep things simple for the jam.
8) Very good point as well. Will see how to handle this.
Can't wait to play your game. Soon!
This is a very solid card builder game - very polished and impressive for a short jam like this one.
I have no real critiques right now! I'm trying a second playthrough to see if I can win. Nice job.
Thanks for your feedback :)
Hope you do win. Cheers!
