very interesting idea, easy to learn and the graphics look great, although there were a few bugs.

It's a really fun idea, and using cards as a game mechanic is very popular at the moment, so it's fairly easy to learn! My one issue though was that my game seemed to bug out and continually give me a penalty when the monster was right. Right body, right color, right eyes, right mouth, minus score. That kinda killed the vibe for me. But the furnace idea was cool, I liked the difficulty curve - granted that you can actually get points when you get the monster right.

Very fun game. I like how the levels introduce new mechanics gradualy.

One issue I had was that the eyes colors were difficult to recognize.

The idea is super good, and I love the games atmosphere. Both the visuals and the music is great and it all fit the game idea very well. The game really needs a tutorial, and it took me some time to learn what I was suppose to do. And I am not sure if there is bug, but I believe often made the monsters the right way, but I still got minus points. Overall a really good jam game. Well done.

What looked like an easy game... turned out to be not an easy one. It took me awhile to understand how everything works. But I really enjoyed the game! Art style, cards and all the monsters are cute

Excellent variety here! Tbh I was going to give this a lower rating based on the first two levels being a bit easy but then baking came in the mix and I was sweating... Great job!

I loved the artwork in the game! I wasn’t really sure how to play though, so maybe add a tutorial level after the jam. Nice work! Do you mind rating mine when you get a chance?

This is quite fun and very well designed. It could use a tutorial at the beginning to tell you exactly what to do, but once you work it out it's very intuitive and well-paced. The controls were flawless except that I found it slightly awkward that the Store requires you to click when all other things use dragging. I also found the eye color to be a bit too subtle, but maybe I just wasn't paying enough attention. I did get 131 points on the last level though. Very nice visuals and audio. Great work!

I only make one monster xD

I think there is potential to be something else :DGood Job

I like the artwork and the audio integrated into the game. It took me a couple of tries to get a sense of what I should do and how exactly, but it is a pretty neat idea.

Love your art.
