Thanks so much for the detailed feedback! Really glad you liked the style it's how most of my art looks lol. I'm glad the bidding mechanic was cool I was concerned it would come across a bit bland. The tutorial screen took a bit of feedback from other commenters to get right but I'm really glad with how it turned out!
Yeah I think if I had some more time I should definitely see if i can tie together the theme better. There's a stealing mechanic that I should clarify and incentivize more in the intro for sure.
The bidders have preferences for bidding and detection but I definitely need to work it a bit more. They used to be a lot tougher but I realized you literally couldn't win anything because of how much they bid so I dialed it down. Working on getting a better balance. I also think a big weak point in the game is how a lot of the mechanics of the ai and the bidding aren't obvious until you're really paying attention to when you can do certain things so I think maybe showing that clearer would be great.
The bids are ranked in the corner in order of which beats what, again something i should definitely clarify in the intro thats on me lol.
I'll definitely work on these and some more features in the future so stay tuned. Really appreciate the feedback again!
