Can't believe how good this game looks for a jam entry. Also the fact that this was made with ReactJS is kinda mind blowing to me. Didn't know that it was capable of doing stuff like this.

How does the game fit the theme?
You take risk opening boosters and gamble your money away in different ways to get all the Cookiemon
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
For assets: only the small sounds. We made all the art and the music.
For code we used ReactJS and several react-related libs.
How many people worked on the game?3

Yeah that's kinda the goal :) I do find joy in figuring how stuff works and tutorial can be very "hand-holdy". We tried to make it accessible with familiar UI and progressive feature adding with the upgrade tree (so that it's not overwhelming at first).
But thank you very much for your comment, it's very interesting. Maybe we should introduce the money progressively too !
Thank you so much! Yeah a lot of risk is tied in to the scam feature (losing your reputation which is tied to progress, losing the mythic you tried to duplicate...) but it ended up be underpowered (especially compared to streaming yeah) and apparently a bit bugged.
Yeah the pack opening twice after streaming is bad ^^'I must fix that pronto after the jam.
I'm glad you enjoyed playing our game :D
Ahahah thank you so much for your awesome and tasty comment!
You are absolutely right about the endgame, I also spent wayyyy too long finding my last mythic! I wanted to add a feature to increase the chance of finding a new (not owned) card each time you open a "failed" booster, but I wouldnt have enough time to test it and was scared to mess up the droprate ^^
And yeah the power creep is intense. At first I tried to balance it but it prouved challenging and in the end I just optimised for the fun ^^ it's nice to break the game sometines, and we still stay to collect all the cards!

Thank you very much! Yeah I thought it would be interesting to use time as a currency, but still try to give you as much to do as possible during the downtime. But yeah it's probably not the way to go. Interesting exercice for game design :)
Thank you much <3 Lézécoliers is awesome ^^ they all have a different face I love it.
We used this! So awesome
Cool game bro, gave up opening packs and used a script instead maybe you should add auto opening or multi opening for players that wants to skip the opening process. Safe to say imma baller.Yeah i figured why take time to prevent cheating, i'd rather add features for those that want to play ^^ would have been too long to add a backend and not worth.
I dont think i'd add an auto open feature, since opening the booster is the whole point of the game. But i agree that the late game can be upgraded.

This is very good feedback, thank you very much!
The upgrade i agree, we did slow down a bit but probably even more.
Pack buying: very good idea, will implement this right after the jam!
For the gifting issue we were thinking about creating a Vault mechanic in which you place cards you like so they cant be sold or gifted or anything, to protect them. What do you think?
