Hey everyone!

Just a quick heads-up: I've completely updated the main post to celebrate the release of Update 3.6.0 today!

A lot has happened over the last month, including the brand new 100-Stage Fight Towers and Profile Customizations. 

I'd love to hear what you think of the new content! 

Thank you very much!

Glad you like it! :)

Update 3.4.0 is live!

The new interface is finally here, alongside the first raid with trophies.

I'd love to hear your feedback on the new UI! :)

I've just pushed another update!

I really hope the new combat system (ATB) makes the Arena more fun and strategic for you all.

Looking forward to your feedback!

Hey there! First off, thank you so much again for taking the time to write such detailed and constructive feedback. I really appreciate looking at the game through that specific design lens (great article link, by the way!).

I actually took your points regarding the Arena and "interesting decisions" and used them as a foundation for the major update that just went live (v3.2.0).

Here is what I changed based on your input:

1. Healing: You were absolutely right. Healing is now always available in the shop with fixed prices. You now have to decide: Do I spend Glory to heal, or risk it for better loot?
2. Item Choices & Trade-offs: I overhauled the equipment system. Stats are now percentage-based (scaling with your Llama), and I added items that offer strong positive effects but come with negative side effects to create those trade-offs you mentioned.
3. Shop RNG: To prevent the "useless items" frustration, I added a Re-Roll function to the shop. Re-Reolling will be only available if you haven't bought an equipment yet and every re-roll will increase in price, making the decision harder when to buy.
4. Combat Flow: The turn-based system is gone. I switched to an Active Time Battle (ATB) system where SPD/Initiative creates the action order, making that stat much more valuable. Also, we now have a Tag-Team system where your other llamas jump in immediately, even when an enemy llama gets KO'd, to create a "cycle" of llamas.

I hope these changes bring the strategic depth you were looking for. I'd love to hear what you think of the new Arena!

Hey ProxyFirewall

Thank you so much for this detailed and honest feedback. I really appreciate the kind words about the UI and the "game feel"!

You hit the nail on the head regarding the overwhelming start. I took your advice and just released Update 3.1.0 today, which specifically addresses this! I added a new Onboarding Mission system that acts as a tutorial course. It now guides players through the features step-by-step (unlocking them slowly, starting with working and pack opening) instead of throwing everything at them at once. Your feedback was the main driver for getting this done so quickly.

I’ll definitely head over to the Slugger page and give it a try to return the favor. Expect some feedback on your page soon!

Thanks again for helping me improve the game!

The different card series are there, because in first line it's a card collecting game. And I'm playing with the idea to make older packs more expensive, when I add new ones.

The arena is a gameplay gimmick I came up with,  because I like roguelite games and I wanted to make the cards have atleast some use and to increase the coin gain. 

And I still see some flaws and room for improvement with the arena mode, like I think I might change the attack / defend order, to not let your first llama do all the heavy lifting and to make the decision between buying equipment and potions a bit more difficult.

Thank you for your feedback!

Yeah I will shift my focus now more to the arena, enhancing the gameplay, aswell as releasing new card series and adding more things to the "golden wool" shop.

I've just pushed another majore Update, hopefully fixing most of the issues with the last update and adding a bit more depth and enhancing the gameplay loop.

Hey everyone! I'm the solo developer of Llama Legends, and I just released Major Update 3.6.0.

Last time, your amazing feedback helped me completely reshape the UI and balance the first Global Raids. Since then, I've been focusing on the next big step: giving players new content to conquer and a way to show off their progress to the community.

With the recent update, I introduced two massive new systems:

• The Fight Towers: A brand new game mode to test your highest trained llamas. I added a 3-stage Beginner Tower, and a massive 100-stage "Season 1 Veteran Tower". Fighting through these stages rewards you with high-tier loot and cosmetics.

• Profile Customization: You can now unlock Card Avatars, Frames, Titles, and Banners! The best part: Your custom profile is now proudly displayed on the Global Raid Leaderboards.

• UI & Quality of Life: I completely overhauled the Arena Lobby and Raid UI. Plus, for Desktop players, your new custom profile now sits beautifully at the very top of the sidebar. I also added 48 new achievements to hunt down!

Since the Fight Towers add a huge new layer of progression, and the customization completely changes the social feel of the leaderboards, I’d love your honest thoughts:

• Tower Balancing: How does the difficulty curve in the 100-stage tower feel? Does it scale fairly as you climb? Does training your llamas feel too tiring and boring?
• Cosmetics & Rewards: Does unlocking and showing off your custom profile on the Leaderboard feel rewarding?
• The New UI Flow: How do the updated Arena Lobby and Raid interfaces feel? Are they intuitive?
• Desktop vs Mobile: How is the overall scaling working for your specific device now that the profile is integrated into the sidebar?
• Feature Requests: What do you feel is the game really missing?

Any feedback (balancing, UI/UX, or visual clarity) helps me immensely to polish the game further.

Thanks for playing and helping me build this!

Thank you for your comment!

I won't get comments like these discourage me, don't worry! :)

I'm currently working on a bigger update for this game, which will come out when the christmas event ends.

I can understand and respect your decision.

But since I do this just as a hobby as a solo-dev, with zero-budget and while having a full-time job, using AI is the only way for me, to create and run a free gacha/card collecting game, with unique looking artworks.

My personal view on this topic is, as long as it's free, it shouldn't be a matter.

Playable Link (Mobile & Desktop friendly): https://lamaz.itch.io/llama-legends

I’ve been working on a casual browser game called Llama Legends, and I would love to get some feedback from you guys!

Before it comes up: Yes, all of the card arts are AI generated, using Nano Banana Pro. But thanks to that, I can operate the game fully free for you AND I can put out new cards quite quickly.

What is the game? It’s a mix of Gacha, Clicker, Idle, and Card Collecting. The core concept is simple: You collect coins (passively or actively), open packs, and complete your album with AI-generated Llama artwork. It's meant to be a chill side-game to relax with.

The Collections: Currently, there are over 200 cards across three main collections:

• 🦙 Season 1: The "Base Set" with 100 unique, general llamas.

• ⚔️ Llama Wars: A sci-fi parody collection with 50 cards inspired by Star Wars.

• 🎬 Hollywool: 50 cards inspired by famous blockbuster movies and cinema culture.

• 🎁Promo Cards:  Cards you can get from achievements, from events or promo codes.

Feedback requested: Since I'm a solo dev, I might be blind to some bugs or UX issues.

• Do you encounter any bugs, especially when opening packs and/or saving your data?

• How does the UI feel?

• What do you think about the sound effects? Could I improve them and add more?

• Do you think the "gacha" animations can be improved?

A general question on the ethics/trade-off: I know AI art is a controversial topic. For me, using it was the only way to create a game with this much content (200+ unique cards) as a solo dev with zero budget, which allows me to keep the game 100% free and release updates quickly and to generate artwork inspired by popculture. My moral question to you: Do you think using AI assets is acceptable in this context (free, solo-project, rapid content, etc.), or is it a dealbreaker for you regardless of the context?

Thanks for reading and checking it out! 🦙

Thank you for being so understanding!

I'll try to be as transparent about my intentions as possible. I don't plan to do this full-time, since I have a full-time job as a SWE and do this just as a hobby, hoping that I might bring joy to a few people. :)

I'm not sure, because of licensing and stuff.

For me, using AI is the only way to create a game with this much content (200+ unique cards) as a solo dev with zero budget, which allows me to keep the game 100% free and release updates quickly and to generate artwork inspired by popculture.

I do it just for the fun of it and I fear the second I earn money from it and invest money into it, it would become too professional.

Hey, thanks for letting me know!

It should be working now :)

Dear itch.io Community,

I'm developing a RPG Maker XP Project for nearly 10 years now, it is called Cast Away - The Oddysee and just recently I've released the Demo here on itch.io, before it was just available on german forums. I would love to receive some Feedback. Eventhough I'm developing the game for nearly 10 years, with huge development breaks, it is nowhere near perfect and it is still my first serious RPG Maker Project. Even if you don't speak german, maybe you can just provide some genereal Feedback, I would appreciate it very much! :)

Hello lovely itch.io Community!

If you have already downloaded MoleMan, then first of all we would like to thank you! And secondly: We would be happy to hear about your FeedBack so we can improve on this Project, aswell on our future ones.

This is very cool! I would appreciate any kind of FeedBack :D

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-2/rate/374729

Very awesome game! It seems like you really put a lot of effort into the art style and it has something mysterious-spacy feeling. Pretty amazing and very cool concept!

We would appreciate any kind of FeedBack! :D

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-2/rate/374729

I've instantly fell in love with this game! Truly something different, I really like the Art Style and the self-made sounds are hilarious! Outstanding Project, seriously! :D

I would appreciate any FeedBack! :D

https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-2/rate/374729

Thank you very much for your Feedback!

We are at the moment trying to improve how the Score is calculated and may add a tutorial and predicting trajectory lines for the easy mode in the future.

Interesting Game! Seems like a modern version of PacMan to me. The Game is a bit hard but encouraging to beat it! I think it would be better, if you have made health bars for the enemies.

I don't know...usually it's working for Games. I will try later today again. If I'll get it working, I'll let you know! :D

The Game Concept is pretty cool! I think you could still improve so much, for example I would have liked a health bar for the enemies aswell. Nevertheless it's a solid game with cool music, artwork and great gameplay! :)

Wow this was very funny! I really had some laughs on the profile descriptions and your drawings are so hilarious that I like them even more! :D 

Sadly I couldn't get the Game running with my xBox-One Controller so I can only give you FeedBack based off the main menu and the Screenshots. The Game itself looks very interesting, I like the simple design. The Main Menu animations look very smooth and I'm super curious how you have done the music! :D 

I wish I could get it into play mode though, that's why I can't even rate the fun factor =/

The game itself is quite challenging but very enjoyable! I really loved playing this game, reminds me on some old-school games! Great work! :D

The Gameplay is very interesting and makes a lot of fun! Although it took me a bit to realise the crows flying at my height :D 

Maybe you could also display somewhere, which color waits for a fitting partner?

I'm a big fan of puzzle games and this one is very well done! It fits the theme, got neat mechanics, a cute art style and great music! The game feels very complete already and i think it could suit a for a mobile export.

Wow, just wow! This Game is surely something else. The idea is so simple, yet very addictive and does make a lot of fun! I really love the art-style and the music, maybe with more levels, obstacles and items, you could acutally sell this! Great work, keep it up! :D

I really like the idea of the game! It makes fun but is also very challenging, as the amount of cupids/arrows increase very fast, but it's possible. I think with some more polishing, more enemies and more difficulties, you could turn this one into a full game!

Also the art style reminded me of Don't Starve, which is nice! :D

The Gameplay Concept is kind of interesting and I'm curious where this could lead with a bit more improvement! Overall, a simple game with casual potential!

Hello Brackey's Community! We might be a little late to the party, but we still got 10 days left to rate eachother's games!
