Oh my god the NES vibes are so spot-on (especially the music, which is just banger after banger). This is one of the very last games I got to in this jam, and what a great note to end on. I love how the combat is complex without being complicated, and how it has makes use of deckbuilder mechanics and probabilities without overburdening itself with overly complicated menus.

I always come away from every jam with a handful of games I continue to play long after the jam is over, and this is definitely one of them.

holy crap this is A Lot.  this is like...  a video game.  a whole video game.  the audio is even suspiciously on the nose, but i guess it's called famitracker for a reason

i played through the entire thing, straight to what i assume is the secret ending.  i definitely love when short games like this don't shy away from just escalating rapidly so you can feel totally crazy by the end of it, even though the end of it is only three hours away.  also i love my tiny happy human men and how excited they are to...  to do this.  yes

i guess my only real criticism is that it's not very deckbuild-y when actually altering my deck is so difficult — unless i'm missing something, i can only remove or upgrade a single guy per town, and only if i decide not to heal?  so by the end i had over 30 guys and had only upgraded like four of them.  though i guess upgrading "hit for 6" to "hit for 9" feels a little underwhelming when i have three guys who do 50, haha

(also i didn't realize for the entire first world that i had to click on items and meat after battles to actually get them whoops)

This was so clean. It feels really mechanically solid, no bugs. The theming isn't 100% for me, but if it was, it'd totally suck me in. Still, I do love the soft approach to the kink here and I love the mechanics being flavored with bears feeling their feelings, it's so cute. The battle loop had a nice groove, I really enjoyed it and it transitioned into the victory jingle perfectly. This is probably in my top 5!

There was only one point of friction for me. Of course Roguelike deckbuilders just have a ton of text to explain everything going on, that's a given. I only had a tough time was parsing multiple effects listed in the same text box, like hovering over the ongoing status effects when there's like 4 at once.  Actually just separating the positives and negatives might help a lot.  I'd more easily be able to tell when I should be cautions of a debuff, and it would split the wall of text in half.

You managed to do this in a month? Holy.
I hyper focused on it (yay roguelite) and loved loved loved the game, made it to mental health in one run with way too many humans for my own good.
I wouldn't say it's nsfw or horny (I tried one absorption to check, but it is really is your big guy and your little guys and light undertones of kink), and sometimes when you have too many hats on you cannot see the enemy's incoming action.
Overall, extremely fun, smart and addictive gameplay, with fantastic artistic direction. Definitely something worth adding a few more extras (elites, events, undertones if you so like) before releasing a premium.

Whoaaa, this is one of the most complex, complete games I've seen in this Game Jam. The core idea is tight, the gameplay is silky smooth, the card mechanics are spot-on. By far one of my favorite games of the Jam. My only complaint is that the UI can be a bit cluttered sometimes (the size of those text fonts is a bit too much), but that's really all.

Oh, and I hate the Isolator with a passion. That battle was a long, tedious drag.

Other than that, a most wonderful little game you've came up with! Congrats!

I kind of? Adore this??? It's so cute and the way everything comes together is so great, I feel like I could sink a lot of time into this. I spent a lot of my playthrough trying to figure out how I would try to describe what a good time I'm having and the word that kept coming up was just 'charming' which doesn't feel nearly as strong a word as I need for something like this. I love that your deck is just?? your little guys??? Like i know there's 100% kink undertones here but I'm so enamored with just going around with your like 15-30 little hype guys that give you powers. I'd keep maxing out my 'hand' and every time they'd all just jump up and cheer which I'm figuring was just the item skill triggering while my hand was full but I kind of don't care? I love that they all keep jumping and i love the denizens of an abandoned world banding together to try and fix it through love and freeing more guys to join the club. Absolutely jubilant game, 11/10, thank u for making this. 

I knew this was going to be something special when I saw the week 1 screenshots, but I never expected such a huge and elaborate game! The balance felt challenging but fair, I got lucky enough to finish it in my first playthrough with no starting bonuses, so I'm not sure if losing resets all progress as most roguelike games do. I'm also not sure what happens if you reach the last area without a map and navigator (I had them from the first zone), is there a different ending?

The art is great, and I like the retro-style filter. There's lots of neat animated details like the hats being present even in the silhouette crowd. Sound and music fit, and the controls are intuitive. Amazing presentation!

The gameplay is both original and easy to grasp, and it's perfectly tailored to the theme of the jam! I like the enemy mechanic designs, it feels like each one tries to do something different, and the game incentivizes players to build versatile decks. I think that a few more opportunities to absorb someone would help keep the party more manageable, but that's probably the only big balance-related suggestion I can make, everything already feels very tuned.

The length is right, the game ends right at the point where the player starts feeling too strong and the party gets too huge. I'm very impressed and had a lot of fun making my way through the world you've created! Awesome work!

I had to made myself stop playing it. Standing ovation.
I love roguelites, and you managed to take the fairly modern genre and adapt it to old scool.
I understand where the kinks are, but they are integrated in the lore and have no explicit mention so they become a part of the game natually.

Incredibly charmed by the aesthetic. The intro definitely made my retro heart flutter. Got lost in the UI a few times though, Clicked transform a guy at the very first section, thought I was softlocked for the longest time. The back to event button is pretty small and tucked away, and I spent 3 battles not getting any rewards because I didn't realize I had to click on them. The tooltips are great, quickly understood how the battles work, definitely taking some notes for future improvements for my game.

Only played through the first zones. Seems like theres a lot of potential builds that could be made and some replability for rougelike deckbuilder fans. The ui is a bit confusing and i ended up missing a bunch of gold and rations early because i just didn't click on them after the fight ended because i assumed they would go directly into the inventory. 

Awesome game, that final zone? Holy crap I love it so much, I'm not sure if it's a bug or I didn't understand how permanently absorbing a guy works, but I tried to do it on a guy that had vigilant and it didn't permanently give me the buff? Other than that I've had alot of fun with this game. Great job!

hhhhhhhh big orc :>   and the little men with their hats? adorable.

Really cool game, with a lot going on! The tooltips that explain effects are really helpful.

Holy peak, very gud roguelike, nice art, sound design and the gameplay is top notch.

Definitely one of the most fleshed out games on this jam. And here I thought my game was too ambitious for my own good, I can't imagine the amount of work that went into this.

Not much in terms of 'horny', but the gameplay is really fun and uses the theme of fusion really well. Do you plan on continuing working on this one? I think it would get a pretty decent following in the bara/gay community.
