Really cool concept. I enjoyed my time! Really wish you could see what the merchants are willing to buy while crafting stuff instead of switch between the buildlings.

I like card games, and I love rogue likes. This game was really fun to me, I took a lot of pleasure.

Burger KingdomI had fun with this - given how much UI there was it would have been nice if it was a little more polished, felt annoying to click on the shop to note recipes and then forget them in the crafting area to have to click back etc.
The perk cards were nice and I can see how they could be used if the game were tougher - it was very easy (which is fine).
The art is charming and the music was nice too
I would like more of this type of game, but with deeper mechanics - great job

TradeTrailsCool idea! but I think some of the bonus cards make it a little to easy. At first I thought the cards where a daily bonus that should only work for that specific day. I think that would've incentivised more planning and prepping across days. Like, today I got a bonus on harvesting, so maybe I should harvest a lot today instead of crafting/selling.
really cute drawings of the dragons by the way :D
Conceptually I really like a town using the dragons resources and the dragons tolerate it for the exchange of taxes.

Sucky SafariI wish we could unlock more recipes towards the end. But still, I enjoyed it!

Astronomical AssemblyReally fun, well balanced mechanic and overall addictive to play. Oh and a beautiful art style. Well done.

Dragon ScalesThis was very fun to play! Once you get the hang of it I think it gets a bit hard to lose, which ends up being a bit repetitive on the long run. Nonetheless, I managed to finish it almost without noticing, which I guess is a good sign! Great job on this one!

Musical DungeonsCool concept and the art style looks great! Plus all the sound effects add a lot of life to the game. Keep up the good work!

Fort BlanketI enjoyed the game concept. I enjoyed the overall execution to the degree that I might visit the game later. I feel as if the UI however lacks a bit of feedback. A few more animations would help when interacting, crafting and such. I'd also argue that there was a pain point where I would have to open the shop, check what they want, close the shop to open the smithy to check the recipe to close the recipe to gather the resources, to open the smithy then forget what I wanted to craft etc... This could likely be solved with a little animation over the shop icon, light a thought bubble which shows the top two most expensive items for example.
Aside from my minor UI issues, the game was quite enjoyable!

Little Dipper's Big AdventureEven though it's not my type of game, I can see that everything is super polished and looks good. And for a jam to have the end of turn increments and pasives blows me away. Great entry!

Scalable BuildingsI was sad to reach the end, i would like to play more.
The dragon scale idea was very good.
The arts are cutes.
Great work :)

Cuby the squareFun 10 minute game, cute interpretation of the theme. Played up to day 9, it was most fun trying to craft the more complex items to sell them for more money. Having some mechanics around this a bit more fleshed out would be nice, because the hook is good. I liked the title music a lot, it's more interesting than the game music. It would have changed the vibe but IMO might have been better to use title music for both? Not sure. Liked the meaty SFX especially the shop one.
