Cool concept. I feel with more cards this could be even more fun. I was unable to understand when I was able to go backwards and when I wasnt though. Also, sometimes it would tell you that it is impossible to move but if i accidently pressed move, id lose my turn and do nothing. I think in this case it should disable the move button. Other than that, great work and nice idea.

Ok like most people have said the concept is interesting. It needs more polish and more ways to control the outcome cause right now everything feels random. Also a smaller board would make it feel better as well.

Interesting game. Really liked the concept! But the random position could be more rare.

I really liked the concept of this game, like others have said it would benefit from a bit less randomness or maybe a few dice could roll and you pick the one you want out of the bunch? The cookie moving so much made it feel kind of impossible, love the idea overall though and great job getting this completed in a week!

Really well made and I think the concept can be expanded on to make an awesome game! With a little less pure randomness and more abilities for the player to "control fate" this has great potential!

The game is well made and has an interesting concept. Nice work!

I think it would be fun to put together a sequence of movements.

Developer

Thats an interesting idea. I haven't thought of that. Thanks!

I really like the visuals of this game and seeing the arms overlap each other was pretty dang funny, the backing track is very calming and nice, but it was a bit frustrating to have the opponent pull 5 skip turns in a row or move the cookie when I was right next to it. If you had a smaller grid space and new cards were added, I could see this being even better, but nonetheless this was a brilliant take on the theme, very well executed, and I enjoyed playing it a lot, really great work!

Developer

Thank so much. Great suggestions!

I've never seen a game like this before, real interesting! It's kinda funny how the hands all join up and I get this massive horror-inspired tangle of hands - maybe it's a bug but it's a little fun to watch.

Developer

The tangling is kind of silly. But I kept it for that reason :D Thank you for playing.

Developer

Thank you!

It took me a moment to figure out that I could only do one of the 2, roll or move, but I do like it better for that concept! was a really rewarding game once I actually got into it and won though!

Very relaxing and I like the strategy aspect! I'm not sure if there's a limit on how many times the skip turn card can be pulled but I did get stuck in a few loops where the AI would keep pulling that card trying and lock me out of playing for 5-6 turns. Other than that though, this was really nice!

Developer(+1)

Great input. Thank you for playing!

Submitted

It's quite a relaxing game if im being honest.

There's a problem with your and your opponent's hand merging. But that's my only real complain.

Developer

Thank you!
