Nice game! And congratulations on your first jam game! My biggest issue is that I went through most of the game without really knowing how the mechanic worked, so making the tutorial clearer and more specific (e.g. 1 Lava + 1 Water = 1 Land, 2 is max for each stat) would go a long way.

Love the theme! Gameplay was fun, but I ran into an issue where I couldn't click on any of the planets after selecting a card.

Thanks for playing! :) Now that the jam is over, we just released an update with those major bugs fixed. If you liked it, feel free to give it another shot!

Writing was funny, definitely my favourite part of the game.

Game has some nice puzzles, unfortunately the last one was too hard for me (but hey, it's the last puzzle, so it should be hard). Maybe crank up difficulty before the puzzle a bit, so it leads players more to solution in the last puzzle. But balancing game is always hard, so no worries about the game.

There were a few times that the game wasn't doing what I was telling it to do, or there are some mechanics that aren't explained in this game... I got stuck sadly...
Featured on today's livestream!!

Scaling up to Hero (GMTK 2024 version)

Thanks for playing and streaming! :) Yeah it looks like you ran into the bug that’s been haunting me all week, and there are some things we wanted to make clearer but ran out of time unfortunately. Thanks for sticking with it almost to the end at least!

I couldn't get past the chaos planet level, but I really liked the concept of playing element cards to influence planets.
Would have loved to see more type of cards, but we all know how jams are with the limited time. :)

Thanks for playing! :) Yeah we had to cut a lot of ideas for time, but we’re planning to release a more expanded polished version later!
