You have about 8,855 combinations. I loved the customizer part. The actual gameplay was confusing to me (which is the point) so I'll have to come back to it to figure out the rules. I think it was a great touch that changing the eyes effected the vision. Great job!

Such a fun concept, love the touch of how your eye also changes your view, good job!

I'm happy to see you joining this jam again, I enjoyed your games very much last year and am eager to see what you come up with this time! Your sound effects are great, I really like how choosing your eyes changes how you see the world too. The card game itself was funky, It'd be funky to play a game like that against someone else, where none of you knows the rules but are trying to adapt to win the game.

Thank you for playing! I've always thought card games were pretty neat, but thought explaining rules took too long! A game with mysterious rules could be the solution!

Superfun, chock full of creative ideas, nice work..!

I loved the way the character design worked; the reflection in the glass. I also liked that the view changed based on the eye you picked, fun touch. I thought I figured out the game then I didn't. Cool concept!

Thank you for playing the game! I'm glad the you liked the reflection in the glass! It took a while to come up with!

I liked the customizations and the puzzle of the game. Took me a few tries and actually reading the instructions. Fun game.

The field of view changing when you change eyes was a nice touch! Fun game to play for sure Great Job!:)

Fun (if hard) game! I love the limited palette-(ish) you have going on, and the voice acting definitely added to the charm. I'll have to try to beat it later, I only got halfway or so. The character customizer itself was especially unique with the vision effects! Can't wait to see this continue!

the intro was so amazing, the voice acting making the sound effects is superb lol. also, the idea of having the customizations change how you see the world is very cool! overall, a very charming game, one of my favorites i've seen!

The visuals changing with the character select is honestly amazing, I simultaneously do and don't want more games to have that. As for the gameplay, I may have to wait till the creator puts out a tutorial. I'm a bit too dumb to figure out the rules

Having the injured eye option mess with the visuals on the screen was a nice touch!
