Well done, Koromeke! I especially liked the sound and the animations. They really fit your game very well. I ejoyed hunting for those diamonds :)

Keep up the good work!

WOW!! Simple and Fresh rule!! so nice!!!!

Great idea ! I loved creating synergies by calculating the moves of my pawns and you had some interesting ideas for the bonuses.

Submitted(+1)

Wow, really cool idea!  I can see how it could be turned into a multiplayer turn-based game... Great job!

This is really, really good - took me a run to figure out the mechanics, but once I'd gotten to grips with everything it was so rewarding to play and strategise. Setting up my final run to use piggy to drop 11 gems onto blue then jump it with purple and get all 20 for the final challenge just felt fantastic :)

The range of upgrades is great, each with their own utility, and a lovely extra layer to consider with how many gems each will place on the board when picked. 

Sound effects tie in really nicely and are well picked with plenty of character

I’ve been playtesting it with some friends and no one believes me when I say that piggy is the most powerful upgrade. Such a relief to finally have a believer lol.

Thank you for taking the time to play and for your kind words :)

Great entry! Pretty cool concept, really interesting, took some time to understand it completely but it's really fun!

Submitted(+1)

Good game! Its simple, but can get complex fast. I liked the simple visuals.

A nice, interesting and unique idea for a game, I liked it a lot! Took me a while to understand the mechanics, but once I got it it was a lot of fun to plan ahead how I would use my dice to get the most jewels and land on the best tiles! Also, the art, animation and sound effects were really well done :)

Hi,

That's a great entry and a very nice take on the theme! Also the game is very polished and beautiful, it's just sad that there's no music.

It took me a few moments to understand all of the mechanics, but after that I really enjoyed the game. I did not manage to win the last level, but I really loved playing anyway. I don't really like big text block as tutorials, especially for jam games, I wish the tutorial was a bit more integrated into the gameplay directly, but I know that's easier said than done.

I'll probably take some more time to play and try to beat the game later on :D

Thank you for playing and taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback! I absolutely share your disdain for big walls of text. I was a little worried that the pop-up text in the game might not explain the full picture so I included it for good measure, but definitely something I'm keen to improve after the jam :)

Very Unique interpretation of the theme!, fun ideas and a great execution of them.

Submitted

Really satisfying and even a bit addicting to play!

Submitted(+1)

It took me a bit to figure it out, but when I did it became very rewarding. Queueing my pawns to triple the gems, then having them race back to Home and do it again felt great, and left me with over 200 gems in the final mission. Really cool game!

Developer(+1)

You might be the world  record holder rn! Thanks for taking the time to play :)

Oh no, I should've made a screenshot! Haha

Very creative. At 4 pawns, I thought the game dragged just a bit and I was waiting for it to finish. Love the chaos and the decision making. Shuffles to make jewels get collected was a nice strategy hope it was an intended one not an exploit.

Developer

Thanks for playing and giving such thoughtful feedback! That's a good point on the pacing, I'll see if I can do another pass after the jam.

The shuffle strat is intended! Cheeky moves like that are definitely necessary on the higher difficulty :)

Submitted(+2)

Cool idea, definitely tabletop and very clean and polished visually! The background responding to mouse position is a nice touch, although I found a freeze where if gift is triggered when there are no open spaces the game can't progress any further.

Developer(+2)

Thank you for noticing the background! I had the idea in like the last hour and almost missed the deadline cos I couldn't stop playing with it lol.

I'm sorry you ran into a bug like that, I'll get it fixed up once the jam is over :)

Submitted(+1)

no biggie, started a new run being careful of that and beat it! really fun

Submitted(+1)

Music would have made this the perfect jam game. Good job

Really creative concept! Ended up playing a lot longer than I anticipated. Very polished experience with simple but surprisingly deep mechanics. Excellent work :)

Submitted(+2)

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING GAME!!! This was far more deep than I would've thought, and I love the interpretation of the theme where you have to essentially loop around each other... (I wasn't able to beat expert tho)

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the game and ended up playing it more that I originally intended to (I was determined to beat it). I encountered some small bugs with the shop (not being able to select an upgrade until another pawn reached the goal), but, other than that, the game is really well done (and I loved the graphics). Congrats creating such a cool game 🤝

Developer(+1)

Congrats on beating it and thank you for the kind words! I'll see if I can track down that bug, good find!

Submitted(+1)

This game was so much fun. might've played this for a bit longer than I was planning but I finally beat normal mode (I fear for expert mode). I would love to see this expand and get more tiles into the game. I'm already addicted to this.

Submitted(+1)

This is a great entry! Very Balatro-like mixture of Gambling theming, but actually deep strategic depth. The integration of the theme was seamless too. Really fun, and innovative.
