Ah, that's what that is. Yea, I hope it'll be clearer next version. I did also notice a down arrow in the first pit, perhaps you can put that above the pit and the dash instruction below.
This game feels just right, graphics are nice, music is good, maybe the grass and vines are a touch confusing, but it's manageable.
Pure RNG combat makes me not want to engage with it at all though. Running is as much a gamble, so I'll just do that. It seems pointless to enter the final fight with full chips anyway.
I'll agree the concave/convex wasn't immediately clear. Perhaps additional markings could help. Other than that, it's a very pretty, if sometimes frustrating experience.
I made some money, Dicky is happy. I'm happy for Dicky.
A fun little collection of games. I think I'd like it better if there were no actual luck-based ones. It can feel really cheap if at 90% luck you still lose, but I suppose that's the nature of the game.
Solid graphics and great sound though, feels really good.
This is very impressive, the sound, the graphics, it's all very nice.
Just some small things, it'd be nice to see how many shards I have. A map could be nice. Bombs are both way too big in number and I'd imagine you can get softlocked by running out.
I got bubsied when I rolled 777, increasing knockback, and getting pushed into a hole and respawning on top of the enemy that pushed me into it.
Other than that, it sounds nice and it looks nice. The sprites are maybe a bit too big such that you can't really see, or hit enemies off screen while they can snipe you from across the level. I do think the background is maybe a bit too noisy sometimes, but it does look appropriately glitter.
Plays quite nice, not too enthused about the colors of choice, but it works well enough. The curses are a nice touch, nothing too disruptive, but still disruptive enough.
Up is not jump. Or it is and that might be a problem.
The entire concept of threshold and how to read the numbers on the cards is somewhat vague. I mostly ignored it and accepted cards just sometimes didn't trigger and that I'd have to make peace with that. Same with high roller, I guess sometimes my cards just do some extra damage, not entirely sure how much or why.
Hand size increase feels kind of necessary if you're going for shadow seals. I'm sure you know better than me what happens when you apply two to a card, I haven't tried it.
That's a lot of palettes. I counted 23 and they're all good. Graphics are really cute and gameplay flow is clear after a little while (the intro doesn't tell everything you'd want to know). Really liking the seal mechanic, it makes making a very overpowered deck maybe a bit too easy though.
Growing your hand to beyond the screen is a bit of an issue and of course the lack of music/sound really hurts.
The random entry feels kind of meaningless, but I do appreciate the whole value determining direction. You still don't have any control over it, but it's cool to pretend with the star.
Balancing these kinds of games will always be a long time endeavor, something you can't really do in a week. Same with bugs, they tend to crop up after a week.
I do think there's some balance in that you need population to support the non-residential areas, but perhaps it's not quite enough.
Gotta say, biggest garlic I've ever seen. And one pretty small onion. Very easy to mix up when they're like that. Other than that, the concept is nothing short of satisfying and the execution is great, if a bit hectic, and mildly frustrating when the order is ready but still lose on the delivery.
