Very good overall. A small piece of feedback: at first, it was fun trying to flip the token to the correct side, but closer to the boss it became a bit annoying when the coin did an even number of flips and landed on the same side. It would be great if the coin only spun an odd number of times per player jiggle
We did think about adding a separate resource for card draws, but decided to keep one shared energy system to make players choose between getting new options or placing them on the board. That said, we agree that players need more control over their deck and more options/buildings to interact with cards, and it’s something we’d explore if we continue working on the game!
Thank you! We wanted players to understand how different Strange Places interact with each other, so the Interaction bar was our way of making those synergies more readable
Adding clearer visual and sound responses for actions like clicking or hovering over buttons would improve the overall game feel a lot. If we continue working on the game, we’ll definitely focus on improving those aspects.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such detailed feedback, we really appreciate it.
We’re glad you had fun and that the interaction system started to click for you! Your criticism is absolutely fair -- that’s on us. We simply ran out of time during the jam to polish the game.
It means a lot to hear that, despite the rough edges, the game kept you engaged until the final wave. And don’t worry: we’re not quitting our day jobs just yet 😄
That said, if the concept proves strong and we continue receiving positive feedback, you might just see a new release on Steam in the future.
Your point about the waves feeling repetitive and having to replace all the Strange Places each time is very fair. We agree that adding more variety and making each turn feel more distinct would make the experience much more engaging. If we decide to continue developing the game beyond the scope of the jam, we’ll definitely focus on improving this aspect.
