Really creative idea I just think maybe the main mechanic is just a bit to luck base and takes a lot of the stagey out of the game when you can just spam random cards over and over again and win half the time

Good job! Will come and play it more thoroughly, trying to get through a basic test run and at least give it a try! Trying to get to everyone I can!

3.25/5 good job, the card exchange system was a common thread through out the jam! liked the pixel art! best of luck!

Hey there, I am trying to get other to re-submit their reviews for my game if possible...it was deleted and removed from the Jam on accident based on a technicality which was solved between the Jam Host and a particular asset used in the game...please if you have time, energy, and/or generosity to re-saved your ratings/reviews for the game. I am going through and re-saving yours given my browser kept your rating saved data on my end...but it looks like I lost all 73 reviews and ratings from my end....  :( best of luck to you in the Jam 

Sorry for the inconvenience if you have a chance to rate/re-rate

It was pretty art and the sound design was good, though I couldn't find any strategy to win, seemed rather random.

Good job to all the artists! The game was fun, and I like how some of the kids had patterns (at least I think they did); added a strategic element to the game. To the composer too, the music fit the style and pacing. Had a hard time with the teacher, but she is the final boss, so it is to be expected. 
Thanks for the experience =]

Fun game! I found myself wanting to finish the game to the end, and I did! The art is so cute and I enjoyed the way the theme was implemented into the game. I like when the theme is presented both in the story and in the gameplay like this. :) I really enjoyed it.

Great game! Interesting concept and loved the aesthetics.

This is a super fun game, I love the mechanics of Pokémon and Megaman Network, I really had a lot of fun playing this game, and it was refreshing too, I missed better use of the theme, but you're on the right track.

Enjoyable game.  Definitely a nice change of pace after reviewing a bunch of bullet hells in a row lol. Loved the art style.

Funny game, like the art style especially the chalkboard was very fitting. Overall cool unique submission.

Submitted

Oh man, I loved this one -- the dialog got several laughs out of me. Maybe I'm just seeing patterns but it didn't feel like the plays were totally random from the opponents (like the jock really favored rock it seemed like to me lol). Gave me definite undertale vibes, very nice job :)

I like the game idea! I lost all my luck when I got defeated consecutively XD Overall I love the art style it's adorable. Well done!

Submitted

Very interesting concept! Though it does feel mostly probability-based and less player-driven, which makes it repetitive because if you lose, you just have to try again and see if rng favors you this time. The sounds are satisfying and the controls feel fine, but I suggest making the art a bit more consistent and polishing a bit. Good game overall!

Cute game. I'm not good at rock-paper-scissors. lol always loses.

I like that there is strategy involved in a boss rush game. I also like the art style. Good game!!

Absolutely love the art style, the dialogue of the characters, as well as the idea. Really felt like I was playing an old school RPG on my gba. Unfortunately as cool as everything about the game is, it did feel like I had no control over anything happening in the game, due to the nature of the rock paper scissors.

To increase player agency and not feel like everything is 100% random, you could maybe give the player the option to build their own deck. Alternatively you could provide the player knowledge on whats coming, so they can prepare for it, possibly in the form of being able to use a power to see what the next 3 cards your opponent will play, or even just straight up knowing what your opponent is about to play and then buff the enemy HPs and their power cards to increase challenge.

I don't know if any of this is a good solution, but some form of design decision to limit randomness would make the game significantly better imo. Anyway you did an absolutely fantastic job with the aesthetics, and this is definitely the most creative idea I've seen this jam.

I don't have enough neurons to beat the teacher, good game!

Great concept and good art style. I find the conversations with other characters funny, especially with Mrs. Agatha when I couldn't fight her yet, calling her a lady, and the mc a grasshopper. Lol. I really enjoyed playing the game, though I kept on losing 😅. It's nice how a casual game of rock paper scissors is made into a whole new concept, and very engaging  fun game at that!

Amazing really . it must have taken you alot time to do

This game is super cute, I love it. Love the pokemon battle intros, the little quips your opponent says during the fight, the artstyle, it’s all so cute and fun.

Also one of my favorite realizations in this game is that each character seems to have specific deck types? Like the basketball boss seemed to have mostly rocks, and realizing that felt so good. Really cool to subvert the expectation of pure randomness that rock-paper-scissors usually implies by having characters favor certain cards. (it’s also possible I imagined this lol)

And honestly, even with the remaining randomness, I still found it engaging in the way that rock paper scissors tends to be. Like I found myself often saying stuff like “yeah level 3 rock, this wins this turn 100%” and then winning a turn and somehow convincing myself I was a genius.

Lastly, I loved the little flavor text on the cards. “Defeated Sisyphus” is really funny. Great game!
