really unique game! I do admit it was confusing on the first 2 shows, but then it clicked and it was pretty fun! I do find some chart decisions are a bit funky imho but still pretty balanced overall, really like making crazy combo, and top 5 is a good spot <3
I do wish it told me how many shows were left, i didnt know if it was infinite or never ending, or if there was a way to Game Over, it'd been nice for even just a simple icon showing how many days of the show are left! also if you do more with this post jam (I hope so cause this is fun) would be cool to also build a card deck/show list yourself, cause it'd be nice to make a cool setup with certain types! also wish the thing wasnt as random, as it'd suck to not get the card you needed for those +10 bonus, and with a leaderboard the rng is kinda rough :/
otherwise this is amazing! great work <3
Wow, thanks so much for that comment, I'm very pleased! Thanks to such reviews, we know that we will finalize it first, thank you very much!^^
Let me start by saying that this looks really really good and the music and sounds are so nice to the hear! It is super well polished and I love the idea of setting up a elemental show. My only problem was figuring out the gameplay. I wish the instructions were a bit more clear as I'm sure a lot of people didn't get a chance to fully appreciate the game. It took me a few play-throughs before I finally got the hang of it.
I was reading the graph wrong initially (even after reading all your comments and pictures you posted). For some reason my brain saw down arrow on the First and assumed I look from the top down first. Once I got that sorted out I figured out that the entire thing is a chain reaction which is really cool (Initially i though it was just 2 cards at a time)! Having to sort your cards in the correct way to get the most points is outstanding idea. Having the bonus element is a great add!
It appears the game ends after a certain amount of shows which makes sense for a leaderboard. However this wasn't made clear initially so it seems like the game goes on forever and its hard to know how many shows are left.
Overall this has my vote for the most unique game mechanics and use of strategy! I would have never been able to think of such a creative game like this in only 3 days. Awesome job!
I am sincerely pleased to read such detailed comments, thank you so much for your time and attention to detail! I will take everything into account and finalize at least your comments in the near future after the jam!
Yes, the game ends with 6 displays, since there are only 6 elements, we completely missed the moment with the display of this progress. Thanks!^-^
Thank you^^
I got lost quickly, but it was my fault :D. Great idea to chain the cards!
Thank you very much for your attention^-^
Very unique (though a bit confusing at first) and fun concept. Didn't understand anything. Did one game. Scored first on the leaderboard. Closed the game. 10/10
Hehe, you are our new champion!\(^-^)/
Definitely on of the more unique concepts, although it took a while to understand
Thank you very much for your attention^^
Nice! I liked although I didn´t understand why some cards broken, maybe you can provide hints when that happens. In general it helps brain logic and it is very fun
Hi! Thanks for your comment ^^
We realized the game rules are quite difficult to interpret :(
The gist is that on the right side of the screen there's a reaction board where you have to take an element from the first card in the vertical column and find an element from the second card in the horizontal ro. This intersection will give you the reaction result of the two cards.
For example, if we take the first card with the element of an animal, and after it there will be a card with the element of electricity, then the reaction will be destroy :)
Wow, very interesting concept! It took me a while to figure it out and still is challenging to play. Great game and I love the art style.
Thanks a lot for the comment^^ We realized our mistake in complexity, many participants drew attention to this >.<
Pretty unique idea and nice artstyle, overall nice game!
Thank you^^
Very cool but hard to understand
Thank you very much, we tried to make the hint on the left side of the screen as clear as possible :с
Really loved the concept very nice idea
Thank you^^
Hi! Love the visuals and effects, such a fun concept! Took me a bit to understand what to do — a tiny tutorial or hint in the description could be nice 😉
Hi, I listened to you and added the mechanics rules to the game description, thank you very much^^
The most unusual interpretation of the theme. Also, music, gameplay and visuals are very good, but most of all, it stands out because of the theme interpretation :) Good job!
Thank you very much^^!
