I love how chill the game is. Great mechanics and gameplay with fitting graphics and sound design. Well done.

OMYGOSH this is really a ROGUELIKE about PHOTOGRAPHING PIGS?
From now on, it's officially my favorite game of 2026. 
The gameplay is easy to understand and the feedback for your every action is very rewarding. Loved the art aesthetics too!  
I'll be following this game for sure. It's a gem!

Wow, this one is a gem!

I really enjoyed each one of its mechanics, and strategizing to get the optimal score! I like the random element as well (slot machine, random spawn), as it is not too invasive yet will influence your choices a lot, feels satisfying without being too unfair to the player.
I also loved how the game tells you what each section of the gameplay is in the top left. Not too intrusive, and can really help a struggling player.
The gameplay is interesting and novel, kept me wanting for more, and also wow, for being made in 7 days, there is relatively lots of content!
The visuals and sound design greatly complement the gameplay, making each action feel rewarding on the spot, from stopping the slot machine, to taking a snapshot, to buying stuff.

Some things I would've loved, were a way to increase your memory card slots (I suppose the maximum is 4) and maybe having an option to speed up gameplay, as having to wait for the score calculation every time gets tedious after a few levels. But this is certainly one of the best games I've seen for now, really feels feature-complete and I can see it having a lot of potential if you decide to continue development on it!

Dude this is really good! Love the art style for the menus and I'm getting heavy balatro vibes which I LOVE. The feedback is really well done like when you tally up the score it has balatro or slot-machine vibes where number go big = satisfying haha.

Music is also really really chill and I love that a lot! Keep up the great work :D

Really good game! one thing id change is there to be cards that increase the amount of shots you can take, also you should be able to count multiple animals twice or else a shot isn't really worth it. you should also be able to skip the long process of the swine card adding score for each individual swine. ok maybe not one thing, but other than those things its an amazing game. Well done to the team!

Perhaps you would like to try out my game :D

This was such a cool unique and interesting game! I really loved the concept of the game, reminds me of the game Balatro, but with cute pigs! Graphics was very good and well done. Music fits the vibe of the game very well, although I wished there were more satisfying "number go up" sounds when scoring points (also I wish it would count faster, especially with higher scores). Game feels unbalanced, it really depends what card you get if you start a new round.  Shop also feels a bit awkward, because you have a lot of coins and the cards aren't very expensive.
Overall really innovative cool game, looking forward towards a full release!

This was neat! I enjoyed playing and felt like it was easy to pick up the game loop after the first time. I didn't understand the point of the bear though. The audio in the game was solid!

I had a blast playing, congratz to the team for making such a nice game!

It is very fun to play and very original!

Chill vibe version of Dead Rising... with pigs and slots. Good overall,.

Wish their was a quick score button, waiting for the counter to go through the points can be a while.

I thought I was doing great with a 400 point shot until I then got a -400 point shot and lost. Should have look closer at the tooltip for the bear lol. Really unique idea and game and well executed. Great job!

Fantastic game, I really liked the randomness to each runs that were added and further you would go in the game, your snapshot camera would fill out with different variables (as long as you kept purchasing them naturally). The scoring system in itself with the memory cards reminded me slightly of Balatro and the aspect of taking risks with what you get, as maybe the current snapshot camera will be filled with things absolutely not fitting with one another. 

The text was in my opinion however too small, unless you fully enter windowed mode, but even then I can see for some folks difficulty with reading it. The graphics were cute and adorable, made me wish to explore what more pigs there were to find out. 

In general great! Maybe a little bit of polish could be used, but I could see this even being sold for few coins officially. Fantastic work!

This is such a gem! Since people are already praising the game (and they're absolutely right) I'll be anoying and nitpick about the UI. 

Though it's one of the best I saw in the jam in clarity and it follows the game's aethetics I can't help but feel like it's out of place. Here's some feedback:

-Some texts doesn't seem to align
-Some windows are way bigger then they need to be and others are way smaller. Sizes are all over the place
- The continue buttom is getting off the screen 
-Audio bar thingie is really small. Should probably be bigger or passsed to pause menu
-Info box is really small, hard to read (the thingie that appears when you hover an upgrade)
-Filmrool snaps sprites seem to be flated out to fit in their box (most of their art also seems to have been made for a bigger display, so looks kinda pixelated)
-Ui doesn't seem to have designated places for information. I would argue that 'small" info such as Targets, shots and rounds could all be near eachoter

Ui's always a trouble at least for me, so despite my criticism seeing you guys making it work out is really nice!

I really like pig photography balatro.  Unique idea, chill vibes, tons of grass swine.

This was a pretty unique concept and quite calming to play!

I love the visuals on this game, it's very kinesthetic somehow. The spec effects are so plesant to play, sounds are great. The rolls feel not too fair but I believe that's just a matter of luck.

Nice game. There being no tutorial, makes it such that your first few attempts are guaranteed to lose, and if unlucky, you're also going to lose.

Cool concept and nice artstyle :)
