Simply incredible for a jam game. Clever idea and brilliant execution. I hope you're thinking about continuing work on it. A masterpiece interplay between what feels like physical card collecting meets fresh design choices.

Honestly, please continue to work on this post jam. I want to explore a whole word via my little bus! Great effort, just a surreal  little bop!

What an incredible amount of effort accomplished in only 5 days! Brilliant work all around!

Really hope you'll continue to expand and possibly release this as a fully product. Brilliant work!

What a great little concept and execution!

Absolutely brilliant. What a clever idea and a solid execution... There's a wild amount of polish in here (COMPO or otherwise). Just solid!

Too late, you're hired too...

I hope you'll keep messing around with this idea, you've really got something that feels good here, and that's pretty hard to get right. I really enjoy this project.

Yeah, this is great... I need MORE

I'll hire you to be my beta teste

Couldn't really think of where else to reach out to you, I'm doing LDJam58, just checking to see if you are?

Totally fair, I'm adding lots of weird junk to the full version to keep the upgrades and the world interesting throughout much longer runs.

Open to weirdo suggestions as well if you have anything you might wanna see in the world...

Yeah you do. No one clicks them quite like you.

Are you keeping them? We'll be sure to put some storage options in the full release to help with organization...

Thank you, we're talking about expanding (and refining) it into a full game at some point! I'll let you know if we do haha

Wow the art is so excellent here.  I recognize this might come off as a strange compliment, but man the UI is beautiful.  Not gonna comment on it being confusing beyond agreeing with everyone else, but I also ended up liking it once I figured it out.  Excellent work for such a tight timeline!

Thanks, yeah the idea made us laugh!

This is wonderful. Exactly the type of game I want to play, I really hope you keep working on it.  I'll be back to the main page again to play it some more and then give you my thoughts but honestly this is an awesome start to a solid project!

I'll be returning to discuss my thoughts, but just wanted to say this is a brilliant start. I think you've really got an addicting mix of ideas on your hands here...

Pretty fun! I like how it feels like I can solve them all in a few different ways. Cool all around, feels very polished!

Thanks so much, we had a fun time making it.  We're even considering expanding it

A sick game for sure.  I liked the secret weirdo...

This is brilliant.  I'd love to play this slightly expanded - slight factory building angle. I love the synching of the audio elements, it adds to the overall vibe. Generally it feels good to play.  I didn't have any issues with the controls and it was honestly just cool to see all the elements interact. Excellent stuff, loved it!

I quite enjoy what you've done with the visuals. I normally dislike when pixel art is scaled to different sizes and mixed but here it all works.  I'd like to see where you could take it with some more time.  I think I managed to get to around 5900m.  Good stuff!

Brilliant, love the design.  I feel like this could be further developed into a big ole fun time!

When sequel?

Oh snap.... the dialog... now that's a neat idea.

Hey! Sent you an email, let me know if you don’t get it. 

Hey! Have you decided to wade back into game dev?

I hope you will, I’d love to hear your thoughts.  Tons and tons to do before I could release Sap, but as I’ve said I’ll still put a bit more effort into this version.

There’s so much I want to do with the idea! A ton of the sim was trimmed to get the prototype done for school.  (I don’t want to blame school, it’s mostly that I was feeling through what I wanted the game to be…) 

Now I have a lot more time. I plan on fixing up this version a little before the steam release. So I’ll let you know when it’s got some of the sim flavor back in!

Please know that I'm going to redo this roadmap as some thoughts on the matter have changed!  Nothing bad though!

is this my future?

Great news on both fronts. I'm pretty excited to see your work when its ready.  I hope you do come back to game dev as well, I'd love to be around for your next work!

*The Demo of a polished gem.  So, a half-polished mineral then...  But, nevertheless, it is exciting for me.  Hope you'll play it when it's ready.
