How does your game fit the theme?
The game is about characters running in a loop. The story is about a time loop.

Ambitious artwork, and I'm stoked that you also made a game with a looping board! Sick!
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! ^-^
[Whip noises] - Oh, yes, a little side note, the Ringmistress is not a singer... She is the circus owner. XD
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!
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!

Wow what a treat, incredible art and so much of it! Really well done and implimented.
I enjoyed the gameplay and the different character mechanics a lot.
This needs more ratings!
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.
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
I loved everything in this game. The art and music is amazing and the game play, even if simple, is very effective and engaging, especially when combined with the different characters and the mechanics they have. The ending was a very fun twist on things too.
Wow, this is just amazing! The art, animation, sound effects, and storytelling are all fantastic. The gameplay is on the simpler side, but it still has some strategy and is quite enjoyable. I love that every character has a unique ability, and the ending is quite funny. Great job!
