Nice game! And congratulations on your first jam game! My biggest issue is that I went through most of the game without really knowing how the mechanic worked, so making the tutorial clearer and more specific (e.g. 1 Lava + 1 Water = 1 Land, 2 is max for each stat) would go a long way.

Love the theme! Gameplay was fun, but I ran into an issue where I couldn't click on any of the planets after selecting a card.

Make My Monster Grow!Writing was funny, definitely my favourite part of the game.
Game has some nice puzzles, unfortunately the last one was too hard for me (but hey, it's the last puzzle, so it should be hard). Maybe crank up difficulty before the puzzle a bit, so it leads players more to solution in the last puzzle. But balancing game is always hard, so no worries about the game.

BSI Industries: Ship BuilderI couldn't get past the chaos planet level, but I really liked the concept of playing element cards to influence planets.
Would have loved to see more type of cards, but we all know how jams are with the limited time. :)

SCALDRIS : The Arcane Architectfun puzzle mechanics! perhaps needed a little bit better visual language about the different planet types and resource amounts, though.
I would apprieciate a play & review of my game if you have the time.

Meowntain ScalerLoved the music. Gameplay was fun, very interesting concept. Ran into a point where I couldn't progress once I got to the +2 cards, but up to that point I really enjoyed it. Congrats and good luck!

I HATE SLEEPInteresting game. The concept of using cards to alter planets is really unique, it could be expanded upon to be really cool! I couldn't get past the medium-sized chaos planet level though, not entirely sure what to do, though that's probably just a skill issue.

Directive: ScaleGreat concept and quirky writing, liked the game very much! I wish there were more named indications of what state the planet is, not just stats meters, but that's not a flaw, that's merely a suggestion, if you ever expand on the idea.

Planet ScalerI though the idea, visuals and music were all really nice! there was one level, with the chaos planet, that I couldnt get past, Im not sure why. Other than that though, I enjoyed it!, I though the touch of how all the past puzzles you can see in the sky was really cool and added to the building the universe idea, well done :)

SizemicGolfGreat take on the theme! I first assumed it was going to be more geared towards a card game but it turned out to be more-so an interesting puzzler instead. The text that showed up each level were both helpful and funny, and the gameplay itself was engaging :) I did have to restart quite a few times though which sometimes broke the planets haha.
