Glad you enjoyed! I always want to add tutorials to jams but it seems like I never have time but I’m glad you were able to figure it out eventually. You can definitely use the game in a video, that would be great.

Yeah that was definitely not intended, thanks for the review!

Really funny idea that was executed well! Here were my thoughts on each category:

Enjoyment: This thing is right up my alley, I could honestly see myself guessing how big an object would be based on another object irl (wait I should actually do that when I'm bored) and I found it really felt good when getting it correct. I had a few issues in my playthrough, one being on my first times I got spoons which made my second round kinda boring because I already had gone through it, another one was more of a bug which was you can press enter after you guess and it will enter the guess again so I was able to get a pretty good score lol (but honestly finding that was kinda enjoyable)

Creativity: Definitely really creative! I felt like I haven't seen any ideas similar to this and it was a cool interpretation of the theme.

Style: Simplistic graphics that well for this game idea. I think it would've been nice to have at least some kind of texture in the background so it wasn't just blank (even just like a repeating brick image in the same art style would've added a lot). One big thing that made this area take a hit was no sounds but other than that that everything was cohesive and worked well!

Hey!! Feels like every time I do a jam you're also participating haha. I'm glad you enjoyed and I am also officially calling the "bug" a feature and it was actually intended (subconsciously). Crazy that we both did long arm based games, what are the chances of that lol.

Glad you enjoyed! It was impossible to hit it twice fast enough for 99% of the jam but last minute I made the hand faster to make it easier but I didn't double check that.

Thanks you for the review! Glad you enjoyed the presentation and gameplay.

Wow, thanks for the super positive review, these kinds of reviews are why I keep doing jams. I remember leaving similar reviews when I was newer at game jams so this feels like a full circle moment, and I'm sure you can do the same!

For the difficult coin we were hoping having 2 coins in that room would show it wasn't a necessary coin but I guess that didn't work. The way to get the coin is to do something like the hyperdash in Celeste as you go faster when you're swinging down in this game so you can release the jump while going down and jump to be able to save more speed.

Thanks again for the review!

Thanks for the review, we tried to make the game still accessible to those who don't like platformers as much as we do but I'm afraid we still made it too hard in some parts.

Thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed!

This was interesting! I found it impressive how you were able to think of so many topics and questions in such a short amount of time.

This was a really cool game idea I had some fun for the time I was able play it.

One thing I did try the game in fullscreen because I read the description but that actually made it so I wasn't able to see the sides of the screen so it worked better to play it in the small window but this still did make it a bit hard to play so I don't know if that made my playthrough harder than intended.

For the gameplay the most confusing thing was that there was no visual indicator that the clothes were being made by the machines so for a bit at the start I was a little confused about what was happening. After that I got into a bit of a groove. I ended up playing it twice because my first time I made a ton of clothes before it was done a tried to buy a machine so it said that I lost that day so I restarted to make sure that I won, and Ithink that is an interesting gameplay mechanic.

Glad you enjoyed the game, my idea was that there would be multiple types of checkpoints so you’re crossing a boarder and the guards are in checkpoints, the places where you check in with the other travelers are kinda checkpoints and I wanted to make checkpoints more of a game mechanic rather than just a thing you get so there’s more of a risk/reward because if you don’t get the checkpoint it’ll make you go back to the start if you mess up

That is what itch does, if you see how it says raw score and score the, raw score is the ratings from everyone and the real score is ratings after being penalized if under the median, but the formula isn’t public afaik

Yay I'm glad it reminded you of sts because that was my main inspiration

Glad you enjoyed! I don't think I'm gonna expand on this any time soon but when I get the itch to do a long term project this idea will definitely be on the list

This is a really cool game, gives me some nostalgic vibes of playing board games with friends. Its really impressive how much content you were able to add in such a short time span. One thing I wish you could've added was more animations which would've made it a lot more clear what was happening. I also wished the map overlay was more high res because it looked a bit out of place. Other than that the game was a really nice experience, nice job!

Cool stuff, crazy impressive for a first game! The game was pretty good for a bit until I found the strategy of going to one side waiting until the wave ends and going back to collect all the coins after the waves end and even after I tried to play it a bit more risky it still got a bit repetitive. One of the main reasons is that there wasn't enough variety of enemies but I get that its hard to do a lot of content in jams. One thing that I found a bit annoying was the foreground elements got in the way seeing the enemies so it could've been good to have them be a bit transparent. For the art, the game world looked really good. But I think its really important to have consistency even if it looks worse so it was a bit jarring to have some of the upgrades at high res and some pixel art. But overall this game was really impressive, good job!

I think turning this on is the way to fix it

I really liked the game and its really cool how many upgrades you were able to add which definitely helped me continue playing for longer than I would have otherwise. I will say one bad part was that I was super confused at the start for how to find the radioactive enemies, I also found a bug where you could end up getting over the level and going into space which was pretty funny. I also love the art style, its always super cool and impressive having the hand drawn assets and this is no exception. The music is really good and I remember bonking into something and there being a sound and visual effect that made me laugh out loud which is pretty rare for me. Anyways great job on this game!

Thanks for the review but giving a sentence review and asking me to rate your game makes me not want to rate your game ngl

Ok I added it, hopefully it can help some people

Yeah I probably should explain it on the page, in the past I’ve done that and it didn’t really help many people so I’ve just assumed like nobody reads the page lol

Yeah sadly the tutorial was the biggest thing that I wasnt able to implement

Hmm maybe I could've let the player reforge twice, I was afraid of doing something like randomizing the starting hand and making the game impossible.

Glad you enjoyed, thats really encouraging to hear!

Glad you enjoyed! I would also love a steam release but idk if I'd be able to stay on a project long enough do that lol

Yeah the mouse sensitivity is weird on the web I've found so a downloaded version would probably be better. The black cards were a special move with the 3rd enemy, the idea with finisher was that it costed 4 so you needed to have one of the cards the give you more energy, glad you enjoyed!

Thanks for the rating!

Yeah I want to come back on a game like this in the future it as I love games like this as well

Thx

Yay I'm glad you enjoyed!

Yeah we had a ton of cards that didnt get implemented but I'm glad you enjoyed

Glad you enjoyed, yeah the music is great!

Yeah I got to a point where I knew I had to cut the tutorial in order to have enough for the game to be actually a game and I knew this would happen, where did you get confused so I could maybe add something in the description?

Thanks!

Thanks, I spent a bit too much time on the polish and part of me wishes I spent a bit more time on the actual cards because we had like 20 more card and 2 enemies designed that didnt get implemented but I think it still turned out pretty good!

Glad you enjoyed!

Thanks for helping me see this, in the video it says to check the windows and doors again and some of them unlock/open
