A very well produced, fun game with trippy graphics and cute voice-overs! I obtained the power of Earth by 'killing' the green dragon, but got stuck at that point as I couldn't find an exit.

The card combat system is a bold choice, as it makes for a steep learning curve within a game jam. However, it has a well implement UI and also help features. So, it's good that you're pushing the boundaries for mechanics in this type of game. I also like that you can buy new better cards and upgrade existing cards; the progression in fire power is good.

The game ran well in Firefox. I have a low spec machine but there were no performance issues at all. The game seems well put together, technically speaking.

Thanks for helping to organize the jam!

My love to card games rivals only the way I am terrible at them haha! 

Got stuck at the fire level... pretty sure I went bad with what deck looks like from the start though! I enjoyed the game. And how sassy dragons are after you beat them. Also the fact that you kind of want not to actually kill enemies if possible for max rewards was really nice. Maybe later I will try another go to get that fire dragon down!

What a creative story of a child having a grand adventure in his mind. Reminded me a bit of Calvin&Hobbes :) The graphics are gorgeous and the music outstanding. We even have really nice voice overs. The movement felt smooth and the card battle system works well. Adding new cards to a deck and making difficult descissions is always cool. I did not play through the game yet, but I will come back later for sure, as this seems to be massive. Oh, I loved finding the secret chests!

I had proved my worth as the ultimate rainbow dragon, love the doh ... doh doh doh at the end.

If I had a sheckel for every time Stun effect was ridiculous in a card game from this 2026 jam I would have 2 sheckels.

It was great! Music is good, voice acting is very good. While at least they all perfectly fit together I don't like the filtered visuals. The game feels great and controls perfectly, the combat system is very fun and I like the original hp system. Deck customisation is also good for a jam. Before I realised I could use shields preemptively then discovered Daze I thought the game was finely tuned, which means that at least you've got to put some work as a player to make it work, yet after that I probably rushed forwards easier than I would have preferred.

Thanks for sharing (and co-hosting the jam)!

Really nice gaming experience. 

I thought I held a good pace, but it still took me 2h25m to beat it. But then I did circle the fire-roundabout about 10 times before finding the exit :)

Good layouts that are not to big and not to small. Nice mechanics of reviving the enemies after you gain their elements abilities.

When picking between using gold and using the upgrade, I kinda felt that I wanted more information before making that decision. And prob I would like to do them both at the same time. It would make the deck building a bit more comprehensible. The game difficulty felt good as well. I did have to replay the first level, because I died, but I realized the importance of not taking damage and it became a lot easier. I experienced some strange issues with some arching enemy that I expected shouldn't be able to hit me, cause of defense, but still did. think it was in the water area, not sure what was happening there. One thing I did find was missing was the information of intended actions of enemies that were not adjacent. This might have been a design choice but I would have liked to know when stepping towards them, if I were to get hit or not so I could prime some defense.

When I exited the game, I tried escaping but it didn't work, so I assumed it was a pc downloaded version I was playing so I did Alt+F4 to exit. Turned out I closed all my tabs in the current firefox window. Was able to reopen them, but it caught me by surprise.

All in All very good game for a jam!

This was a fun entry and it was very smooth once I got into the mindset of how combat works. Has the potential to be refined into something grand, as the mechanics are all there and just needs a bit of card balancing. 

I went for the daze/poison route which is insane towards the late game, where you can just dish out huge stacks of poison and stunlock enemies (or just walk away from them and they die to dots). I even had an encounter in the fire area where I fought and killed two enemies at once without being touched. And poor Dad had 21 poison stack on him, and never got a hit out. Gold becomes irrelevant from the second world on, as focusing on getting upgrade power is much more important and gets you cards with 3 turn stun or 5 poison damage (yum!).

The graphics was excellent, the polish was top notch, as we've come to expect from Jimbly&co, voice acting was great, the game was really smooth to play and I  had a lot of fun.

To critique, I'll join the others in saying that the one-way fire area was a bit meh, especially when backtracking at the end as I looped over and over in some areas until I found the way to go back again. Can't tell why that is, since nothing was hidden regarding the exits...

Defeated Dad! The yielding mechanic is cool, and with the restoring backtrack makes NOT overkilling a concern. The voice acting is cute, what a brat. The cartoony visuals are a treat. What I didn't like maybe the Fire dungeon first floor, its so confusing lol. Awesome game!

Absolutely stellar voice acting! I loved it, I wanted more of it. Give me more of that voice acting!

The creatures were nice looking and had a charm. The environment didn’t fully live up to that standard but was working all the same.

Over all I liked the dungeon layouts, though the one-way doors felt a bit unnecessary at times when I was a bit lost and had to trek through the whole level again just because I missed something.

The Gloomhaven-esque card system I like, probably spent more time thinking about what I should do rather than just relaxing and running through the game a bit faster. It did take me quite some time to play through though… (I realize I left without recording my name to the highscores!) I also totally broke the system towards the end so the fights were pure one-sided.

The telegraphing of the next move felt good but needing to be next to enemy didn’t so much and it also felt quite frustrating with defence being more or less useless against ranged enemies.

Here’s the playthrough:

Yes, you can thank an algorithm :) Charming, fun, interesting, another fantastic game Jimbly. I liked how you incorporated the themes, particularly cleaning up after the hero. The "try to almost kill the guy" strategy made combat very tactically interesting and then adding the "overkilling = costly to revive later" made it even more interesting. I love when games let me play casually and beat them or opt-in to higher skill play.

The art style was interesting. Personally I liked the creatures more than the environment, although seeing the cat with it's Picasso face made me laugh. I did like recognizing the assets from the limited assed pack.

Please thank your voice actor for being amazing. They really added a lot of charm to the game. The enthusiastic delivery was amazing.

I think not having a map was smart - I actually got lost briefly in the fire level and had to make a map but that really this made the levels more interesting. 

Awesome work.
