Great game. Very clever idea. Maybe expand with some levels making you add two commands.
Love me a puzzly game! Very pretty too. Great stuff! Doing a post-jam version?
Congratulations for the game! Loved the overall aesthetics and how it is linked with the theme.. Rated <3
If you are interested in Tower Defense, check out our game. A tower defense where you can control only one tower at a time.
now this is what I call a puzzle game. This was really fun and the concept once I got it was really straight forward. Funny enough I am an automation engineer at my day job so a game about automation caught my eye. This is top quality stuff right here. I can see myself playing an entire game with this concept. I wanted more
Amazing game! Stands out with a unique concept and perfectly fits the theme. Would have loved if the sequence automatically played once (without a modification by the player) when the level starts. Also playing it out could be a bit faster, I feel. Furthermore I found it unnecessarily hard to figure out how much turns it would take till the enemy reached a certain point or the ball hit the ground. Displaying a small grid might help to tone down the try-and-error-feeling there a little bit. Overall really impressive though, the difficulty curve and introduction order of new cards is very well tuned too!
Very interesting! The last few levels get a bit messy, but overall this game was really solid
Very cool game, have fought about having more than one horizontal platform ? Like imagine have 2 lines with blobs / enemies and you also have a card making you move between those 2 platforms, so it would have verticality. Anyway I like the concept!
Excellent game! One of my favourite games of this jam!
My only gripe is that it wasn't too clear what the effects of some of the cards were (like the card that looks like a refresh button, which I happened to never trigger, and the spikes which I at first thought was a pie).
Looks great! I think the post-processing is a little too much (the bloom) But other then that, an amazing, original game, I've not seen another like this, great job! I mean it!

Great use of theme and fun game! Looked very good too, excellent job! I do wonder, is there only one way to clear levels? it certainly felt like sometimes more than one thing would work. Doesn't matter, still fit the theme amazingly, but if you want to expand maybe eventually reach such a point would be cool. You could throw algorithms at it to figure it out for you!
great game!
My job IS automation and this is gold for me lol. When I first started learning automation, I started with a game exactly like this and seeing it here 5 years later really brought me back! Awesome! I will be replaying this!
