Ranked from 35 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the theme?
Besides the obvious box themes, I think this fits the theme because this is a combination of mechanics I've never seen before. And I also haven't seen a should I open it or keep it sealed game, so I also consider that out of the box.

At first I did not get it but this is stupid addicting, so many synergies and playstyles great deckbuilder!!! The drill to pierce the heavens :3 

Submitted

nah this is so good the upgrades synergize in such a rewarding way

Developer(+1)

Thanks man! My box is the box that creates the heavens.

Submitted

Really cool concept! I was a little confused at first, even after reading the tutorial, but once i got the hang of it I had fun! The art style is very funny which made me laugh a few times, and the Music is Great! Overall a fun game i will play more of!

Developer

Thanks dude, good to hear that!

Submitted

I loved this game. I had no clue how to play it and just spammed beg and release the alpha until I read the tutorial and found out that bond actually does stuff! Then I went on to get a photochad build with hanging chad and megaphone and breezed through the entire game. Amazing work!

Developer

Thanks man, glad to hear you had fun!

Submitted

This is really amazing, I could see myself losing hours to this. I had one really good run with Evil Conversation and Dap Up as the main scoring cards. My jokers trinkets were Hourglass, Hanging Chad, Crown, Megaphone, and Shiny Belt (those might be the wrong names, I accidentally closed the tab). The rotoscoping and art style were super funny, and I like the detail where the music syncs up with them putting the box down. Basically my only problems are that one of the music tracks doesn't loop, so it's just dead silence for the rest of the round once it ends, and a sound effect when a card/trinket gets triggered would also be a welcome addition. Otherwise, you did a great job! My highest price increase was +2241%.

Developer

Dude you like doubled my highest sway well done. There seems to be that issue in the web version where the music doesn't loop, but I double checked in the downloadable version and it seems to be working there. I do agree that I could have more sound effects, but due to time constraints I sadly had to prioritize other things. Glad you enjoyed, and thanks for the detailed comment! I really enjoy seeing people's builds!

Submitted

The core gameplay is really addicting. The music is fire. It just needs more polish, improved game feel and more content and it'll be peak

Developer

Totally agree! Thanks for the input!

Submitted

this game is actually PEAK oh my god!!!! art style+rotoscoping is hilarious, gameplay is stupidly addictive, and the music absolutely bangs (i do wish it looped though). seriously, no notes. (also DAP ME UP MAXXING FOR THE WIN GRAHHH!!!)

Developer

Thanks man, good to hear that! I did try to make the music loop, but it seems like it's not working on the web version for some reason. ALSO REAL! RAAAAAAA

Submitted

Absolute PEAK! This game was so fun and addicting, I forgot I was here to rate a game and just had fun!! One of the best here in the game jam in my opinion!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks dude, that means a lot!

Submitted

hell yeah man. this is everything i like in a roguelike, plus the humour is really silly

Developer(+1)

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed!

Submitted

You have no clue how much I like this game. 

Bond raised by 50

Dap me up

Developer

Hell yeah

Submitted

Very fun and very funny! I could not stop laughing at the card art, nor could I stop jamming to the music. I wish there were some sound effects for when the cards were being counted or when trinkets got triggered, but the game is already oozing with so much personality that it's still able to be one of my favorites based on vibes alone!

Developer

Thanks, glad you enjoyed! All of the music was done by Your Best Friend Jippy, if you liked it I highly recommend checking them out.

Submitted

This game is super sick, the music is great, the vibes are immaculate, and it's a super unique and interesting take on a Rougelike Deckbuilder. It lagged quite a bit on web but I managed to get through things fine and haggle my way to not getting evicted as quickly lol

Developer

Thanks, glad you enjoyed! Also thanks for bringing the lag to my attention, I had no clue that was happening.

Submitted

Oh my god this game is so fire.! Like I think this is like top 5 for me for the whole jam.

Also RIP Haru Urara </3

Developer

Wow! Thanks man! 


Never give up Haru, you will be missed

Submitted

Great game, loved the rotoscope art style and the balatro reference, probably my favorite game so far

Developer

Thank you! That means a lot!

Submitted

this game is fire, i love the rotoscoped/traced artstyle thing and music and sound effects and like overall those bits that make the gameplay juicy

Developer

Thanks man! Glad to hear it :)

Submitted

Good concept and interesting execution, the rotoscoped art is also pretty good and I love a bocchi the rock reference. The mechanics themselves however don't feel that great, I couldn't really find a way to get a box at a low price and the item inside it was always lower than the price I paid so I felt like it was not even worth it to buy boxes.

Some balance tweaks should make this more fun and engaging.

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! You're the first person to mention the reference lol. For the balancing I wanted the incentive for opening the boxes to be the items effects rather than their prices so I made every item sell for less than the boxes themselves. I apologize if I didn't make that clear, and I'll take this into consideration.

Submitted

HOW DARE YOU PISS MY PANTS YOU HOMELESS BATHROOM DWELLER!!!
fire game btw

Developer(+1)

THIS IS MY LIFE'S PURPOSE! HOW DARE YOU TELL ME NOT TO ACHIEVE MY DREAMS (thx btw lmao)

Submitted

This game is so much fun! The builds are solidly varied and the gameplay is very intuitive. More polish would be nice for sound effects on activation of cards and trinkets, along with some indication of how much of an effect each card had. Also it would be nice if I could remove cards from the deck and if when a box has a card, I could choose the card after I see what item I got. Overall this is amazing! Great job!

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I was thinking about a few of those things, but due to time constraints I had to prioritize some other features. Glad to hear you liked it!

Submitted

Its like alatro! Love the music and the art btw this deserves to be seen more!

Developer

Thanks man!

Submitted

This was extremely fun to play. The gameplay was addicting, the art and cards were really funny, and the music was beyond peak.

Developer

Thank you, glad to hear you liked it!

Submitted

This is actually amazing. Literally everything is good. The music, the gameplay, the artstyle. all superb! Good job with this one! Seriously.

Developer

Thanks! That's great to hear!
