Well, this was... unfun. And not just because of the Algorithms & Data Structures flashbacks. I certainly believe you that there's a strategy for it. I tried a few going through the game and seemed to be making progress. There's just kind of two big issues. 1) The random number of elements to shuffle means you can't keep things in place once you get them to the correct location. 2) The 1/6 chance for the game to to just reset is just too likely compared to the number of swaps you need. This is perhaps technically neat, but just very unfun to play.

This is a pretty cool idea for a game... It's really interesting to try and sort them with a random amount. However, as others have said many times, rolling a 1 feels super frustrating... especially when I was already at 123456798, it just ruins the whole fun, and makes me click off of it. Also, I can't seem to understand how shuffling more than 2 cards worked, is it random or is there a specific order? Anyway, the art is quite simple and relaxing, the sounds were also not bad. Good job!

Rolling a 1 1/6 of the time really just makes the whole thing frustrating. I could see this being a cool little puzzle without that, but it just makes it feel like rolling a boulder up a hill.

I won, but getting a 1 is very frustrating, after investing some time into ordering the cards, I feel like the punishment is a bit extreme 🥲

Creative, but too random. Game plays itself, I don't feel that I can cotrol any of it.

This game was very frustrating but it was simple enough that I kept playing. Overall nice game!

I pretty unique idea to be honest! I don't think I figured out the correct/optimal way to win, however I did beat it once! Had decent fun with it!

The audio and graphics are simple enough, yet very beautiful!

Pretty original, seems like a little Proffesor Layton puzzle, although after you beat it once, you don't feel the urge to try again

Cute game! I was lucky enough to complete it and found myself trying for a while longer to try and do it again (no luck lol). Visually it's really nice and clean and the game works well with the theme!

Not fun at all. Honestly maybe if there wasn't the random shuffle  if could be possible. Otherwise you just get screwed eventually. But even then doing bogosort as a game is not the greatest idea.

Both a very simple goal and a very difficult goal when you throw in the ones adn how they screw it ALL up.  Honestly I'm not sure if it's possible, and I feel like the description is bait but if it is it definitely did it's job in  getting me playing longer than I would've without it.  Maybe there really is a trick but I'm not sure to be completely honest.

It is a quite difficult game and I will say there's not a lot to soften that.  It's mostly just a lot of "oh dang it I got a 1" moments.  Rather than being right near the end and getting hit with one or having more build it up sometimes.  Which to be fair with true randomness is not lhtat likely, but tweaking it a bit could be interesting.  

That and maybe having different sides have more predictable outcomes possibly?  For example right now it just randomizes where the cards go, it could be that you lean into each side doing something specific.  Like how at the moment the 2 currently switches cards, the 4 could switch pairs etc., just to make it a bit more strategy based in how things are being handled.  Compared to feeling entirely at the whims of rng.

Hehe.. hehe.. God is its rought to see that. Nice visuals and audio and its simplicity and gave it raslly fun feel. Idea of game was fun and I really tried to win. But like with others, those ones are rough.

Still nice job as I really wanted to finish this :)

nice game

Gosh I hate those ones haha! Otherwise, sweet game, makes you keep trying (until you quit 'cause of the ones)

Submitted(+1)

The game keeps you trying and trying. I was so close a couple of times but ragequitted.

Otherwise the idea is clever and audiovisual presentation serves the game well.

Cool puzzle game, mechanic was interesting aswell. It was brutal to be 1 or 2 away and roll the 1 lol. Nice game!

I know it'll sound harsh but, the game is painfully hard, to the point of not being fun. I've trying to sort these card for a long time now and it just seems impossible, I love the  "HEHE" though, it's almost like if the game were spitting in your face. With that being said, the game looks really good and the concept is... interesting. Valve pls fix.

There is no god. There is only HEHE.

truthfully, I wanna hate this game but I can’t. You know what you did and I respect that.

Creative idea Well done. Rolling a 1 does mess up everything though :(
