This was such an amazing game! I went through a few times to look exclusively at the gameplay, music and sound design, and art and story design. Everything was so cohesive and polished! I especially love the art style and how much it fits in with the narrative in the game. The lesson was so deep and I loved it so much! The music was great and I love the small details like clicking sounds and darkened highlights for each of the buttons. The gameplay was also a really unique take on the Jam's theme and puzzle games in general!
My only feedback would be to have a description for each of the cards somewhere. It took me a few tries before understanding what each card did. The symbols are every intuitive but it still takes a moment with some trial and error to fully understand them. A simple text box when you hover over the symbol would be amazing! Other than that though, I appreciated everything about this game and love all the little details and polish everywhere!

Wow! Thank you so much! It means a ton to us that you took the time to so thoroughly appreciate everything we put into this game. We all worked hard and it is such a compliment to have you pay attention to and appreciate that labour.
As a team we’re all pretty big fans of games that don’t feel obligated to explain everything and trust players to figure things out. That philosophy of game design is a bit difficult to implement perfectly, however, and we’re noticing not everything was quite as intuitive as we’d hoped. We most definitely have plans to help smooth out the experience of learning how all of the important concepts work in the game in the future. Glad you were able to figure everything out regardless.
Thanks again! Your heartfelt encouragement is so deeply appreciated.
