I would also like to know if this version works on current (2026) gamemaker

Searching for and finding this page after completing the Steam game feels somehow fitting lol.

Really appreciate the candid disclosure of AI art, and very cool that you made it a priority to get a real artist for the paid final product! The Steam Version truly is spectacular and all the hard work shows through!

This is an awesome idea for a mini rpg, and I'd really like to make a commodore version. I sent you an email if you want to discuss further I tried to send you an email but I guess the email listed was out of date. Please reach out to my email instead, if that's okay

For anyone else whose brain broke trying to play garden solitaire, here are the possible combinations of cards with an average of exactly 4:

• 2 cards: [71 - 26 - 35 - 44]
• 3 cards: [714 - 723 - 156 - 246 - 255 - 336 - 345 - 444] 
• 4 cards:  [7711 - 7126 - 7135 - 7144 - 7225 - 7234 - 7333 - 1366 - 1456 - 1555 - 2266 - 2356 - 2446 - 2455 - 3346 - 3355 - 3445 - 4444]

These are sorted so that the ones on the left are most disparate, so they are generally rarer but more favorable if you can make them because they get rid of difficult to use cards.

This game gives me mixed emotions. The individual solitaires are all so creative and interesting, and each one needs a unique mental approach. Plus the art and music are fantastic. But holy crap the difficulty is *brutal*, and this is coming from an avid Zachtronics-Solitaire fanatic.

Many of the games have hidden the fact that the gamestate is actually unwinnable from many turns ago (usually because there is a limited resource that you unknowingly expended, often ten to twenty real-life minutes ago). Many of them have a severely disproportionate difficulty spike right at the end. I played several games that were tough-but-doable for as much as 45 minutes only to find the endgame mechanics (which I had never reached before) actually start restricting space and it quickly became impossible not to tie myself into a knot.

A detector for games which are already lost would be nice, although I understand that poses a pretty extensive coding challenge. And the same statement applies for an undo button.

Most of all I think the game needs a better way of easing players in, rather than dumping all 23 games in front of them. The star rating system is pretty inconsistent at best, but currently there's no other way for newbies to know where to start. Maybe if games were unlocked in incremental batches? Or if specific games unlocked their shake-up versions like Tap -> Baba and Single -> Binary.

((Also the "playable with a standard deck" notes are greatly appreciated. Very cool.)

I assume its that the "Babataire" rules mistakenly calls the top slots "middle slots" and also doesn't color the word "slots" like it normally would? Unless there's another one.

Ah yeah I didn't have time to put a tutorial in to show the different piece types. The line clears whenever you drop a "cleaner" type object.

Whenever I get around to it I'll drop an update that fixes the balance up a bit.

This is a cute little sokoban-style game. I know you apologized for not having more levels, but the ones you do have are actually really good! And I love the cat sprites especially.

Thanks again for making this!

Oh I just meant the ticked box. It's supposed to show that in your game details and didn't so I assumed you missed that box. Sounds like you already did the right thing, sorry for harping on it.

Maybe it doesn't show because it's part of a jam or something?

Regardless, this is a cute game! I like the lighting a lot

The player animations in this are sharp! Not sure where that name comes from tho

This is super charming, although on my browser player 2 cannot shield because the "end" button scrolls the window down. I love your sprites though!

Very cute!

Just a heads up you have to disclose on your game page that you used an AI background. Don't want your secret santa project to get taken down

This is a fun little proof of concept. I hope you add to it in the future!

I deleted the other image, please do not exclude my work! The second image was just for fun, per the text on my project page. Only the first one is my actual submission.

Thanks!

Haha that's what I was going for was goopy

Thanks! It was really fun to make!

Thanks it was super fun to make!

Thanks so much!

Wow thank you! I wish I had advice to give. I just started by making it without caring about tiles, and then looked for places that were pretty similar and made them the same I guess

Wow this is one of the very best "does a lot with very few tiles" entries! I love the buildings dissappearing into the dark

This feels like a real megaman environment, very cool!

Love the textures! And very cool to include a progress gif!

This is awesome! The architecture elements are so cool, and the whole composition does a lot with very low tile count.

wowza calm down and save some skill for the rest of us. this is incredible

Wow! I really love the little shadow under the lip of the roof, and the shading of the layers of the tree is so well done!

I love the details floating in the swamp. Great use of this spooky palette!

So satisfying! Lots of detail in such a cute little space

Simple but very effective with so few unique tiles! And love the use of this palette!

So cute! I love the ones like this, that look something that would actually have been on a gameboy. And great use of the palette!

Great art! So much storytelling in this image!

The lines on the clothing are really well done, and fantastic use of this palette for the red highlight.

Please upload an upscaled version of the image to the project page as a screenshot, so more people can see the whole image!

adorable!

Wow this one is great! The composition is dramatic, especially with the sihlouette. The use of dithering mixed with the harsh lighting really makes the details emerge. And this was totally the best palette for it too, with the spooky vibes.

Love it!

I actually gasped at the level transition effect. Never seen anything like it on pico!! How the heck does that even work?

Very fun little golf game with great pixel art. Maybe not the most on-theme game though

The interaction seems a little clunky, clicking on the mode and then clicking on Mo, but that's pretty much the only point against it. The music, art, and puzzle design are all great, and I didn't enounter any bugs which is huge for a jam game lol

The narrative loading screen is such an interesting idea, with some genuine laughs too. Loved it!
