Your average rank is #15 in GMTK 2025! Congrats!

Here is the link with all the rankings:

I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with "Mark" that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.

Wow, this result goes beyond all my expectations! 

Thank you for the work you’ve done! :D

Neat game, the music was really atmospheric and the illustrations and UI are top-notch! Very fun and quirky aesthetics. I really appreciate that the game explains the basic mechanics with a little tutorial. Pretty unique game concept too.

A good polished game. It has great art, sounds and the gameplay concept was very entertained. Good job!

Ambitious artwork, and I'm stoked that you also made a game with a looping board! Sick!

Beautiful and original!

The artwork in this game is fantastic! And it was such a unique way to incorporate card game mechanics!

Wow! This was a really unique take on the card game/board game format. It hit a really good balance of simplicity and tension while throwing in really interesting rule-bending. I really like that the singer does not exactly copy the rules of the other performers but instead gives a twist to it. The two things I would expand on: Player options to make them feel a bit more in control and the tuning of some hands (like a straight 0, 0, 0 hand should probably never appear). This is another jam idea fully worth expanding into a full game.

The rng can sometimes be annoying, but it’s part of the core mechanic. While developing the game, I considered whether the player should have more control, but in the end, I thought it would be difficult to find the right balance in such a short time. In a future version, I’ll do some additional tuning to try to find a sweet spot. Thanks for your feedback! ^-^

The art and music in your game are flawless! Keep up the great work :D

Wow! This is artistically one of the most beautiful games I've seen at this Game Jam! It's very, very impressive to have managed to do all this in such a short time! The gameplay mechanics are simple but it's cool to play! And I'm amazed by all the art, the music, and the overall presentation of the game. It's incredible! Congratulations!

Thank you for playing, I'm happy that you liked it! ^-^

Thank you so much!!

The artstyle is amazing! Gameplay is easy to get used to, and not too hard. A pretty solid one!

Extremely cool presentation and solid gameplay! A shame the ending couldn't be put in in time.

I enjoyed discovering the gimmicks of all the targets, even if sometimes they didn't end up mattering due to rng.

Art, audio and presentation in general are out of this world! I like how everyone had their own gimmick, almost in personality more than in gameplay. The ending was also very fun haha, shame it didn't play in the game. The gameplay itself was a bit too simple, but that's OK, I feel like that wasn't your focus anyway. Great job!

One of the best looking games this year! The artstyle reminds me so much of dixit

Submitted(+1)

I've absolutely fallen in love with the art but also the music! It's so fun and the character design and environment are amazing! I also enjoyed the game loop. You are an incredible team, my favourite game from this jam so far.

What an amazing game. Full 5 stars in all regards! Well done, I have no notes!

Thank you!

This is a slow burner... once I got the grip of the mechanics I found it very fun.

The art, music, and sound effects are all very well done. The characters had a lot of personality. If it had voice acting and a bit more movement (like tweens, squeezing and stretching animations) this would be commercial grade.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your comment!

We prepared specific sounds for each character, but they didn’t get to the game. XD

Submitted(+1)

Very nice game, and with a couple of different gimmicks to modify the boardgame gameplay

Bit of a shame that the cutscene doesn't play, but you also get kind of dropped into the room with very little guidance on why you're clicking on all these objects or chasing the members of the circus.

Other then that, the presentation and art is amazing and easily carries the game past that confusion

Submitted(+1)

good stuff! I noticed a couple typos in the dialogue, but that’s about it. solid all around

Developer(+1)

I'm sorry for that! D: I'm not a native English speaker, and I always struggle a bit with writing. I usually double check my texts, but unfortunately for some dialogues I couldn't because I was running out of time. ^^"

I hope you could still enjoy the game. Thank you for playing!
