After giving it a second thought, I realized how enjoyable this game really is. Sure there might be some slight balancing issues with some of the animals, but it's very solid all around and gets very satisfying to see all your scores spiral out of control as you create more synergies between the different animals you board. Crazy fun concept and utilizes the looping theme in a very creative way! Presentation is also very cute and very clean.

I saw an earlier comment - there is value after you reach your score, which is building up a pig/chicken/goat to help you later. This game was way too fun for me, but I kinda broke it:

I used a skunk to get a hologram pig negative, so the pig had like negative a million points which basically means I could spam end turn and win :)... until my hologram pig broke the integer limit and decided to score positive which made me lose :(

The gameplay loop is really close to Balatro with the strategy + randomness every run, which is why I played so much. 

PS - I found this game through Post Jam Productions :)

Love how cute it is and the complexity that you were able to achieve from the simple set of rules. Hats off to you, fellow wherris feel game maker!

I have to say, it was pretty fun, but it feels like it lacks in a really important aspect of its genre. Doing well doesn't really seem to reward you all that much - as long as you get over the limit, you pass. There's no upgrades you can do or anything else you get for the points you have over the minimum. It means that it doesn't matter whether you get 460 or 860 points if the quota was 450 - you get the same result. The game can still be satisfying, but I really wish that going over the required value rewarded you in some way, as it feels like such an important aspect that was overlooked. Consider working on this further though, it feels like it could have potential since the strategies possible to pull off can be quite fun. With upgrades and a bit more polish, it would probably end up being a pretty decent game!

This was so so good! You did amazing, the animals were incredibly cute, the combos were really good, and you kept adding more unique animals as the game went on. I absolutely loved it! Super polished and smooth! 

Your game is really fun and you've captured the theme in the best way I've seen so far.

I like the simplicity of the game and the lack of any bugs.

I hope the game is updated after the gamejame.

I have a great idea for it.

For example, add animals that multiply your score.

For example, the bear multiplies your score by 3, but each spin subtracts 15 from your score.

Your game is like my entry but way more beautiful and with better mechanics and difficulty curve xD

It was very fun playing it, the only thing I don't like that much is the fact that you need to remove all animals off the wheel before the end of the day. The player needs to plan ahead everything in advance because of that, maybe it would have been better if the "Rotate 2" and "Rotate 3" buttons use only 1 "action" so the player can adjust during the run and not plan everything from the beginning.

That's my opinion but overall it's a very nice entry and I really liked it!

Probably the best game I've played. Super well polished and has so much strategy. I would come back to this game to play it again. Best score I got was 37,000. Very well done.

super polished visuals here! there's a lot to pick up mechanically but after one go around it starts to make sense

personally i'd like to be able to restart the same day after failing instead of having to play through the easier days again

Cute! Tho good to know, im not fit as wheel operator... got fired 5 times in a row lol

Fun game, I really like the cute art and the variety of abilities on the various animals. Good job!

This game is adorable and really creative! I really like how u incorporated the jam theme

Really like the idea of animals in a ferris wheel. Can see there' a lot of efforts put into the polish, like the cart swinging and the day slowly turning into night. There's also a lot of strategies involved in planning who to sit where and how many to rotate, which is the most enjoyable part for me.

Very cool idea !

At first i was a bit lost on strategy but it clicked and i enjoyed the thinking needed !

Adding relics and other animals, maybe an other theme and u got a cool ballatro style game !

I like the logic. It's very fun to get tons of points. I personally would've made different choices for the game, like increasing the amount of turns per day, or making it so doing a multi-turn only took 1 turn from the counter. the game is still very fun, though. Good job!
