really digging your music and vibes! the neon/brigth yellows were perfect! as of the mechanics, i wasn't sure what i had to choose when more options were given to me, need to give it more time to "untangle" ;)
Oh the game is freaking beautiful and an original take on the theme!
At first was really confused on how the game was supposed to be played, but after getting the hang of it managed to get 5/6, still felt that the descriptions of the effects sometimes can be hard to understand.
Hey, thanks for playing!
I agree the effect descriptions were a bit confusing. It was really hard to fine-tune all the details in such a short time, but I understand that this kind of thing can hurt the experience.
Thanks a lot for the feedback I'm really glad you still enjoyed it!
I really like the game loop and the art !
Had hard time to pass the 2/6, finally reach the 4/6 and lost. The descriptions of the effects are hard t understand sometimes (I didn't get yet what is "free... from the needle")
Hey, thanks for playing!
I agree the effects description were a bit confusing, this was my first card game...
"Free thread for the NEEDLE" action add points directly to the needle, without having for untangle or cut them!
Thanks a lot for the feedback, hope you still had fun!
yeah definitly, I would have not tryed multiple time otherwise :)
Had trouble understanding how it worked but cute and original game!
Hey, thanks for playing!
I agree the win condition was a bit confusing, this was my first card game...
Basically, you have 3 tries to fill each wooden needle with the thread you've cut - but you can never let the thread ball reach 0!
Thanks a lot for the feedback!
A pretty original take on the theme, the game itself is pleasing to look at and I really love the sound design and how the game feels responsive in general. Nice one!

That means a lot to me! Thank you! ๐
Did not quite understand how it worker. But managed to. I like the idea to place actions in a loop, like my game. Good job!
The cover art is really cool, instantly wanted to open the game page. And the art is great. Honestly, did not get what was going on at first, but the idea is cool. Did not make it to the win, but I got hooked and tried a couple times, it was fun. The sounds are super nice, just fit really well. And the jazz totally set the mood :)

Really dig the presentation, although I found the gameplay a bit confusing initially. Really unique take on this!

Hope you still had a good time !
This was a really nice little game. I didn't quite catch how to win the game as even though I always thought I was wining. Is there a round limit ?
The art style was really pretty thought, I was quite immerse in it.
Either way, it was fun to play, so please, continue to make game !

The art was so good! Loved the music as well, paired so well with the game! Nice job!
Thank you! Really glad you liked it
I loved the art of this game. Had a nice feel to it! and also the idea was fun as well! Great Work!
Thanks for playing!!!
A very beautiful game in which you really have to think to win. I like it! 10/10
That was our goal! Thank you!!
Very unique game and concept, definitely a little pearl in this game jam. Execution was lovely, art style was on point, and it does make me feel smarter at every run! Seriously well done!
I'm really glad we've reach our goal of making players feel smarter each attempt!
Thank you for playing!! :)
Played quite a few times, with each attempt I felt like I was learning the game more and more!
Really glad to hear that! Thank you!!
This was a nice and relaxing game!
I really liked the smooth jazz in the background and the artwork on the cards. The balance between using the tangle and untangle cards was fun and engaging. My only suggestion would be to add a 2x speed button.
Overall, a great game. good job!
Nice suggestion! A 2x button would definitely improve the game experience.
Thank you for playing! Glad you had a good time!
Such a cool take on the theme!
The art style is astonishing! I sometimes forget what I have to do as I looked too long at the cards design :D
The game feels pretty difficult, I must say, expecially as there is a lot you should take care of all one at a time. I think that maybe a slight progression would help, as right now you sometimes take care of the untangled threads and completely forget about what happens to your needle :)
It also feels a bit hard when you have a perfect hand but you have to change it nevertheless and all new options do not work good with your current build. Would love an option to keep my current cards or something like that sometimes :)
Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed the theme and visuals!
It was definitely a challenge to balance and test everything in such a short time, especially since this was my first time designing a card game...
I made the forced card swap intentional to prevent players from just sticking with one setup and becoming passive — I wanted to encourage experimentation with new combos, but I totally get that it can feel frustrating when nothing fits your current build — thatโs super valuable feedback!
Thanks again for taking the time to play and write this!
Surprisingly addicting, but tbh I still don't really understand how it works
Thanks so much for playing! I'm really glad to hear it felt addictive ๐
I was a bit worried it might not be 100% clear — it's actually my first card game, so I'm still learning how to communicate mechanics better. Really appreciate the feedback!
looks and feels lovely, just wished things were just a liiitle "clearer" at first.
still, super cohesive and well done :) PS vai Brasilsilsil
Thanks a lot! I'm really happy it felt cohesive ๐ฅน
Iโve got no experience with card games, so clarity was tough...
Sรณ os BR ein!!!๐๐
Loved the concept both in the game mechanics and themes of the game! vamo brasil!!!!!
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it!! (Vai BR!!!)
