Oh what?! It's crazy to see your game have so much in common with us. ^^
your key mechanic seems veery innovative though, never seen like that before.

Awesome work! :3

The idea is well executed; at first, it didn't grab me, but after about 15 minutes I realized it was really fun. Great game!

The concept is cool and original, and it has real potential. I liked the piggy vibe too.
The game could use a bit more balance though, as it feels very dependent on your starting “Joker.” A bit more explanation on how you earn money would also be appreciated. In my first runs I had $1 after the first round, and in another I had $36 without really understanding why, which completely changes the game :).

The placement of elements on the scene also feels a bit too random at times, maybe adding a way to counterbalance that randomness could help.

But overall, good game!

The game is very aesthetic and atmospheric. This is a really high quality game. It's not my favorite genre, but I still enjoy playing it.

nice game :)

I liked this one. Took me a wee minute to work out what I was supposed to do - but then it clicked. I liked the random-ness and then having to choose a good 'snapshot' that was inspired and gives the player control over the results. Great concept and idea there!

A fab game jam submission. Good work team!

Excellent game!

Wow, cool twist on Balatro-style gameplay with the safari and slot machine elements. I've never seen that before - innovative as hell!

Nice deck building game!

It was fun trying to get all pig on the spot for the images and the mem cards!

Well done!

I like the chill balatro take on this. Very creative and and good job on putting enough strategic choices and synergies to keep it interesting :)

Submitted

It has a very calming vibe, and some fun music to go with it. I struggled, its hard to get enough points to keep progressing. I did enjoy the unique idea though, fun.

Submitted

The fells very polished and the strategic aspect of it is great. I like the pixelated art style combined with that sketch like art style. Great game :)

Submitted

The game seems slightly off theme but besides that I greatly enjoyed it. Very chill vibes and I can see a more expanded version of this game easily being very popular.

Very challenging but I liked the idea of trying to figure out what terrain and animals to choose as a combination to gain as much points. In true Balatro fashion, but a bit more of a unique take on the genre. I enjoyed trying to figure it out and improve, though at the moment I could not get pass 150 points, maybe it's a skill issue. Regardless, good job on that one!

Very nice game. It did a good job keeping me engaged and hunting for ways to optimize my score. The audio and visuals are good. I just wish the different swine film rolls told you how much each of the swines are worth.

Very good and creative game! The only issue I have is that I don't realy see how this fits the theme but other than that, it's very well done!

Submitted(+1)

very cozy and original game! it's really cute! I enjoyed it. The music is great and LOVE PIGS

Submitted(+1)

Fun game, very cozy, visuals and audio are great!
I only got the fact that it was kind of like Balatro on my second try. I wasn't sure what decided how much money I'd get, also the +1 score for each grass eating swine made the animation a lot slower, making my "only swines" build take ages :D

This is super innovative. I've never played anything like it! I love the mix of strategy and aesthetics. But it felt very hard for me :O
