It would be cute if there was like 1 of those little mini-zine versions where you cut and fold a single sheet for just the rules to accompany the print'n'play.

Tried to do my own 16-page style one in Photopea but it changed all the fonts and spacing. I managed to make it functional though.

Seems like you could pretty easily have a video call, and then a deck of card in any of those online boardgame environments, like playingcards.io, TTS, Roll20 or something along those lines.

Maybe we got too stuck on the mechanics, but it seems like wisdom/true magic solve the challenge completely, so it always makes sense for the other 2 players to folly?

Since the wisdom requires 3x the challenge value, on average you need to folly 3 times in order to wisdom so only 1/4 challenges need to be solved with big magic.

I'm probably dissecting it too much, but we hardly struck off any of our sources by the end of the 2nd chapter. Because we managed to solve most challenges with wisdom, and because the folly doesn't mechanically make it more difficult as far as I could tell.

Are we playing it wrong, did we miss a rule or should we just be doing less table talk about who has a plan?

It would be cool if that was a rule that coule change:

- Hair cuts allowed

- Face tattoos allowed

- Minor facial reconstruction allowed

Could give it an interesting twist, especially in this format, where the art can be changed so minorly.

Trying to sort the words into a speedrun list (fewest typed words): SPOILERS: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1z3uj87y_qEjBB8ZkZ2BPDCfiSQFpZZrKIAXORumw...

Got it, again, think it would be nice to be able to look at all the images at the end, I can't even type words now ;(

Finished all but 1! (censored)

Also also it would be nice, if there it indicated if you found the word on your own, or with the hint already revealed. (maybe a different color highlight)

I was also hoping that all the words would be in sequence in the end, so you could (once you knew them all), just write through the whole sequence and see them all

Interesting, I wish I could click on any of the picture words I found previously to see them again

Ah, they feel like a punishment more than a limitation or challenge to work against.

I tried all sorts of stuff, was over a month ago but I think this was a screenshot from the situation.

I got about 10 cards from the end, when I realised I had made an unsolvable situation. I was still able to whittle it down to 5 cards, but I wasn't even able to make a 9 anymore at the end, regardless of which suit it was. So not sure how that's possible, but it happened :b

The new curses aren't very clear. Why are they happening? I'm hovering over enemies and I can't seem to find it. Are there enemies cursing me? Is it when I make an incorrect switcheroo? is it when I match pieces on myself? Or make a match that doesn't affect enemies?

Mostly it's also just annoying. I feel I have no power to counter them either.

It's a clever little game, wouldn't mind an expanded version with more plants, maybe scaling up the plot size or other such things. I can see a bigger version that might warrant a release on more platforms!

And maybe 1 little UX thing I'd recommend is having in the score screen the enter push forward to the final score, rather than straight back to the start screen.

(and maybe a restart button :b)

Fun game! Really clever little ecosystem play, love how its easier to get to mushrooms and they stay good until you pick them, whereas the fruit is harder and longer to raise and can go wrong in multiple ways, and that the scoring reflects that.

Also scaring snakes away with water is the best!

1 bug: I got to 1480, but the highscore got stuck on an earlier score of 1190.

I liked it! Clever idea!

Few things:

• Quite hard to figure out what kills enemies, especially later ones I couldn't quite figure out the logic.
• Wouldn't have minded having it be turn-based, or have a pause button, so that I have time to read the enemy information.
• Also if you don't get a specific upgrade your character will just get stuck at the bottom of the level forever, and that's a bit of a shame! 
  • Would have liked there to be some more clever way to move, like horizontal match 3's move your character horizontally, vertical match 3's move your character vertically. 
  • Or maybe a specific color match moves your character a specific way? Red-Right, pUrple-Up, I dunno, something like that!
• A few bugs I ran into made it a bit harder to enjoy (click breaking). 

I was doing good but at some point the click and drag just stopped working.

Still happy to have some of my dumb meta theories from the old forum in this game, fun to remember those times swapping thoughts with strangers leading up to the release of this as well as Submachine 5, 6 and 7 (I believe, I forget when the forum updated and I eventually dropped off).

I got to 128pts and then decided to stop because I was just destroying everything on screen once I had 4 powers, especially if I wisely kept a lock-on power-up.

Cool to see the super crate box, grabbing a point swaps your item type reshuffled in this.

Surely a beach in the middle of your island doesn't count, that's just a desert xD

Clever though, didn't realise that was possible.

How to cut??!?!?!

I know 2 people who still have Move controllers, neither lives close to me at the moment.
You probably have more chance making it for the Vive than for the Move.

Is there a reason this can't be played with a mouse? What makes it require a Move? Angle?
