Simple, but fun card mechanics. I love the characters and voice acting - gives them a lot of personality. Very funnny that DSD is not showing up haha.

There's a lot to be said about creating a card game that at first seems overwhelming and complicated but can become fully understandable and engaging within 30 minutes time. It really started to move once I got the hang of it and I loved the boss mechanics. The art and voice acting were also above and beyond. Loved the new characters! Really well done!
One of my favorite DSD implementations and I love the faithfulness to the Cotton Heart lore! Huge fan of these card games, I look forward To them every year!

Gears of StrawVery cool idea for a co-op game! Lots of different things to try and combo off of your teammates, I like there are commands for the AI so you can get them to focus on certain things if you want to. Voice acting is great and gave a lot of personality, really like the depiction of The Pitmaster and Glerry.
I started my game off with Glerry, ended up getting Jambon as a new boss, that was a really fun twist! Always impressed how well thought out your games are, if you do a physical version of this one I'll wanna buy one to play with rl friends!

THE SMOKE BOXYeah, The Pitmaster and Glerry are my favorites as well!
I'm not sure if I can sell a physical version, but I try to make the printable versions as easy to put together as possible. Once I finish that up and release it, and you decide to print it out, let me know if you have any questions on how to put it together and I'll be happy to help!
i love that you all make physical board games every year. they are always so impressive. and the way this one's digital client works is really impressive

Chipp's Crash CourseWe pushed out a small patch to the game. Certain boss and event effects should now be working as intended, and there have been little updates to the UI to make things easier to understand.
Edit:
After watching wujak's stream, we fixed up a few more effects working incorrectly and adjusted the AI a little bit
Yeah the voice acting was really fun to put together (although writing all the lines took me longer than I expected)! Ickity in particular sent in a lot of really fun outtakes: there were so many good "om nom" takes for his Bubby. I wish I were able to get some music in as well, but overall I'm very pleased with how it went
There may be a few things that aren't working correctly but as far as I can tell there is nothing game-breaking. Definitely let us know if something doesn't work though!
I'm going to put together a .pcio version (for playing with friends online) and a printable version out within a week, for those who want to try playing that way
