Loved the art and music, a few bugs that could be fixed post jam. Liked the concept.

Cute game and interesting rules, a little buggy though. Cards randomly jumping up or down one row when hovered over and getting stuck behind other cards really piss me off. Also does wild card create more cards when you get it? I clicked off hint screen accidentally. Anyway i think wild card creates blank buggy cards
I love this game. it's definitely less fun than with real people but it's still super fun. good job!
oh FOR SURE! but I'm glad you had a good time with our recreation xD thanks for playing!
The music was amazing, the game was quite fun and the cats were adorable, though it had a few bugs though like cards stacking on top of each other when I had more than a row of cards. But overall great job!
thank you so much for your kind words and bug reports!!
Amazing work! I’d love to see this concept explored further! Well done!
thank you so much for playing!!
Love the fun artstyle!
thank you so much!! (our artist is self-conscious)
lol
Super fun gameplay and interesting characters to go along with it, and though simplistic I feel like the music and sound effects really brought together the vibe of the game. I did run into a few issues like blank cards being played by Ruggala (I think by using the cheat card), I think he played 9 ones twice not even cheating, and at certain points the game wouldn't trigger any turn so I'd have to restart. But honestly I didn't care, it was super fun to play through. I never reached the end as it kept glitching, but low key I'd play it again.
thank you so much for your kind words! sorry to hear you ran into bugs, will get them cleared up shortly after the jam so ya can play again if you'd like!
Cats playing Cheat, Actively! >>> Dogs Playing Poker
LOL I'm glad you think so! Wunjuwun would probably run away with the bag in Poker tbh, he's got that unblinking boba stare
The cat characters are adorable, and the art really brings the whole table to life. I did notice a couple of cards overlap when the board gets crowded, but it never broke the flow. Can’t wait to see how you’ll deepen that cheating mechanic in future updates
thank you so much for playing!! with all the feedback I think I might need to make that future update haha
Cool game! The art style is great too :)
thank you so much for playing!!
You're welcome!
Really cool and unique card game concept! The art and sound design create a great atmosphere, and I loved the character designs (especially the cats) I ran into a few minor bugs with card overlap and some tricky mechanics, but nothing that took away from the overall experience. The cheating and looping theme works well, though I agree it could be even more tightly integrated into gameplay. Definitely a polished jam entry with lots of potential. good job!
thank you so much for playing!
Great Game! Very interesting concept. I really like the art. The audio and music are also really good. This game is great!
thank you so much for playing! we had a really awesome team for this jam 💖
Great gameplay, although I found 2 bugs: When you have more than one row of cards and hover the top row, they will move to the bottom row, covering the cards beneath. Also, if you play your whole hand then hit continue before it loads, you just win. Otherwise, great game.
that second one is a bit of a bummer, but thanks for playing!!
I guess it's a "feature" that you're able to cheat your way past your opponents calling you on it, "NOPE ACTUALLY I WON NOW THANKS BYE"
Love the character designs and the gameplay, had some minor ui bugs and had a time where someone lied but game didn't consider it lying (might just been me being dumb) Outside of that, very polished and well made!
thanks so much for playing! sorry ya ran into some bugs!
Really enjoyed this one. Some small bugs as another commenter mentioned, but overall the UI is really beautiful, the UX is great (responsive and simple). A big fan of the cats!
thank you so much!!
Cute! Unfortunately I got stuck at some point in my first game waiting for a cat to play their cards...
noooo!! don'tcha hate it when a new bug crops up after all this time T_T thanks for trying to play, though!
Pretty much invented a new card game. Its tricky at first. Cool stuff!
thank you so much for playing!! I can't take credit though, it's heavily inspired by Cheat on Neopets (which is itself inspired by BS/Peanut Butter/??? probably a bunch of other names xD)
The game is really nice polished, I'm not much of a card game player myself, but this could easily be a bigger thing on it's own! Nice take on the theme!
thank you for trying it even though it was out of your niche!
Great job with the artwork and sound design! I enjoyed the gameplay, however there were a bugs like cards overlapping, cards being replaced by white boxes, and a character with 10 cards playing 8 of the same and not lying (maybe that last one isn't a bug, but it really feels like it). Even with these bugs though I did enjoy the gameplay quite a bit, I only wish that the looping theme was incorporated more into the main mechanic of cheating.
thanks for playing!
bummer about those visual bugs! it is, technically possible to play a legal hand of....6*4 of the same card (5 per 4x Rat Swarms, and then the 4 that start in the deck) and although that particular situation is pretty unlikely, a single Rat Swarm leads to 9 copies of the same Rank in circulation... all that to say: it could still have been a bug LOL. I really appreciate you playing and leaving bug reports, it helps a lot!
I can see where you're coming from on the theming - after playing these other Jam games, I definitely could have leaned into the loop theme more!
