Really charming art style and felt good to control!
I loved the aesthetics of this game,
Unfortunately I've never played poker, so I couldn't get much further by randomly selecting cards 😅
But I see that you did a great job with the setting, interface, scene, animations/shaders, etc.
One of the most polished games I've seen in this jam! ♣
Had lots of fun making Poker hands, the gameplay loop and audio/visual effects were very satisfying. Well done!
Thrilled to hear that you had fun. Happy to hear the gameplay loop and audio/visual effects were satisfying.
Thanks again, if you have any further feedback please feel free to let us know.
For a long time I've not felt that relaxed playing any game. Got to the 12th level. Thanks!
Thanks! You might have found a bug. Once you beat the 10th level, the victory screen should have shown up.
As a huge Balatro fan I liked your game a lot. chill and relaxed vibe and very beautiful Artwork. Got to floor 7. Really enjoyed your game :)
Thank you so much for the kind words and for playing the game! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it, especially as a fan of Balatro. Reaching floor 7 is a solid first run! I’m also glad the vibe and artwork resonated with you. Your feedback means a lot, and I hope you continue to have fun with it!
Additional feedback is always welcome. <3
Fun Balatro-like game! Nice and polished, game was very smooth. Well done!
I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed the game and found it polished and smooth.
Your kind words mean a lot—thanks for playing and for the encouraging feedback! If you have further feedback on how to polish it even more, we'd appreciate it if you took the time to let us know.
I had alot of fun playing. Very similar to Balatro. Did run into a few bugs where I couldn't select a 4th or 5th card to add to my played hand for some reason. Great submission!
Thank you so much for playing and for the feedback! I'm glad to hear you had fun, and I appreciate you letting me know about the card selection bug. We'll definitely look into that. I'm happy you enjoyed the experience overall!
Further feedback on where we could improve is always welcome. <3
A solid balatro-like. Gameplay is straightforward enough to enjoy. No problem with controls either.
I'm glad you found the gameplay enjoyable and had no issues with the controls—that's great to hear. We appreciate you taking the time to play and share your thoughts!
The vibes are chill and the UX is polished smooth. The pixel art is outstanding.
I lost an attempt and in the next my hand had lots of blank spaces between cards, not sure what was up with that.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the vibes and appreciated the pixel art. I really appreciate you pointing out the issue with the blank spaces in your hand—we'll investigate that and I believe it might have to do with how we're sorting.
Appreciate the feedback. Should you have any further feedback on areas of improvement please don't shy away.
Ran into a bug where I could not view my deck. Other than that very clean and fun.
Thank you so much for playing. I’m glad you found the game clean and fun.
I appreciate you pointing out the deck-viewing bug—I’ll look into that and work on a fix.
Your input helps make the game better, and we're grateful you took the time to share it! If you have any further feedback please feel free to drop it as a comment.
gameplay is fun enough, but unfortunately not very original. the pinup asset you put in the thumbnail is pretty clickbaity ngl. ui is mad clean tho
Thank you for your honest feedback—I appreciate it. I'm glad you enjoyed the gameplay and liked the clean UI. I hear you on the originality and the thumbnail.
We'll definitely take your comments into consideration for future updates to make things more unique as we prepare to launch on Steam.
I really enjoyed this game, probably my favorite of the jam I’ve played so far.
Thank you so much! I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the game, and it’s awesome to know it’s one of your favorites from the jam.
Your feedback means a lot. If you have any areas for improvement please feel free to chime in with them.
Interesting take on the genre. A simple approach to the Balatro-like. Presentation is OK, but man... the UX is just *chef's kiss*. Props.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the take on the genre, and it’s awesome to hear that the UX stood out to you—your chef's kiss comment made our day! 😊
Thanks again for playing. If you have any suggestions for improving the presentation, we'd appreciate the feedback.
Made a 5 flush of a kind with an ace and 4 wildcards. Cool idea and very well executed, but seems impossible on 7 and higher floors.
Thanks for playing and the feedback! It’s definitely possible to beat all 10 floors, but it can be tough. Try experimenting with different strategies for the wildcards — you’ve got this!
Incredible polish on this overall, especially as a jam entry! The amount of player feedback, movement, etc is incredible
Thank you for the kind words. There were two of us (I & Sockhousestudios). I have participated in three other jams, and they have an actual solo game shipped on Steam.
Could you suggest any areas of improvement?
Sure thing:
I really enjoyed the wild card - more creative cards like that could have been fun too, but of course, that would add to the scope significantly
I'm actually quite surprised to be saying that this poker game was actually very interesting to play. I love the mechanic that you play form a continuing deck you need to top up.
Thanks! Do you recall which floor you managed to make it to?
5th floor, and missed it by about 10 points
