I couldn't figure out how to play 😵

Great little card game, it was really satisfying converting the other player's tiles with just a few spaces left on the board! However, the legibility of each card's power level made it a bit difficult to fully understand the game. Maybe having an extra ui element to clarify, or finding a way to make the whole board less checkered in the later stages? Was just a little difficult to parse, but the actual mechanics of the game were quite clear and quite fun! Great job!

Nice card game! I really liked it. The rules are pretty simple and still can be a challenging game. I found it a little confusing to understand what was happening at the start though. Because of the screen limitations I didn't see the pixels indicating the power on that card. Once I did, it all made much more sense and I was able to start and have fun. All in all, this is a really nice game. Good job!

Amazingly addicting triple triad-like card game! I had a blast playing on the phone yesterday!

Cool game, I got absolutely wrecked by the opponent though :D

I tried the game and, like others, I felt lost with the control! You might want to introduce your game convert in a more progressive way?

It took me a while to understand what to do, but once I did, it was really fun. Nice game!

A bit challenging to work out the gameplay at first, but a solid effort on making a game with these constraints. Artwork was fantastic!

It took me a bit to get the hang of this game.
From the controls to figuring out what was going on.

But once I got it it was great fun.
The core game has more depth than I initilly though with that you have to look at what pieces the opponent has left and where they can put them.

A bit rough to get into but great fun, once you do!

Oh, it's a nice strategy game, just a bit hard to read the dots on the first try but I got used to it in a bit, though I could not complete it. Great work!

Wow really cool strategy game. Considering jam restrictions it's made amazing. It would be very convenient to see your deck when the game offers you to pick a new card (or if you can I'm didn't found how).

Very addictive game. In a minute I understood main rules by trial and error. Love it a lot. That's my final result 😁

Its really hard to figure out haha

This game is very unique but the barrier to understanding how to play is too great. I think having an interactive tutorial, instead of text, might help people understand how the game works better. I think that once someone understand how to play this game, it would be very fun and strategic, but it would probably be better suited as a 1v1 board game against a real person (like checkers or Go).

Howdy! It seems you got some good feedback on the difficulty of the legibility (which I agree with) and would love to see this remade / touched up to be more legible, as the core concept of building a board is really neat! I do think you should start with more cards; in your first encounter you don't 'lose' so much as 'draw' to my understanding and getting a 'loss' there is a bit misleading. While I think the criticism of the legibility is fair, I do love the design of your cards / backgrounds immensely regardless.

Hey. This is a unique strategy game concept that I haven't seen before. It's fun, but only once you get it, otherwise it feels like one of those bootleg games that no matter what you do, you always lose (especially since a draw is also called "defeat"). Such games benefit especially from explanations with pictures and examples: two snowflakes next to each other, and text explaining which one will win. I'll be honest – in my early dev days it also baffled me how bad other people can be at understanding your tutorials, and confusion is never fun.

From a game design perspective: I think you could rework the way the snowflakes look, maybe make them black/white instead of circle/cross, just because it's hard to count the number of pixels in a corner especially when they're in the grid and you have a 1-pixel-wide line separating them, it just muddles the whole thing. You could also experiment with maybe having the snowflakes "attack" each other along the sides instead of the corners, or using a hexagonal grid. I feel that could really increase the potential for strategies. Or even just have a bigger grid. At the moment, it feels very dependent on luck of what pieces your opponent has, and it's deterministic in the same way that Tic Tac Toe is – if both players are sufficiently good, it will always lead to a draw. It only starts to get interesting when you have a bigger grid and have to put 5 in a row, for example.

One more thing – I think you meant to randomize the map at start but it randomizes after every level won, so you don't make any progress. And most gamepads don't have an "O" button – did you use an Ouya? Cause then you'd have O and U, not X.

I had a bit of trouble understanding the power levels. could you explain that to me again? where can I see how much power a tile will have??
