Great game! First of all, I like the theme of the game. I have not seen any other entry in this jam with Greece as theme. The gameplay was pretty fun: to test different things to raise your rating. I appreciate that you can skip the text, because it is boring to read the same text multiple times. I also think that it is interesting that everything is white/black since it can be connected to the main character being blind (and thus not knowing how colors look). I like that we received tips between the days instead of for example a long tutorial in the beginning. As for improvements, I wish the game had music and sound effects. This would improve the atmosphere of the game. It also felt like I got too few of level 3 cards, so I wish that the game had some form of guarantee to make the randomness more balanced. Good job.

Thank you for your wonderful suggestions! I agree, I think a good soundtrack could help to get even more immersed in the theme. It’s an interesting idea to create more of an assurance of getting high level cards- what if I added something where you could spend one part of the day to get truly random cards, or two parts of the day to guarantee a level 3 card? 🤔
Also I’m glad you liked the black and white aesthetic- the connection to Homer’s blindness was exactly what I was going for 😀
