Ooh I had a similar concept in mind but didn’t think I could pull it off without some level of writing. Good job for getting it to work. I think it takes a bit of getting used to, and I wonder if you had any sort of weighting to the randomization in the early game to smoothen the onboarding experience. Overall I think it’s a good execution of the concept, good job!
If it were a "serious" game and not a jam, maybe yes. The idea was to start easy with a match or two of symbols and a slow speed. If there had been more time available, the game could have been expanded to include more difficulty levels by increasing the symbols to make the match more challenging.
Thanks for playing!
Interesting game! Well executed concept, makes me hate dating apps even more lol xD
Ahahah lol!
Tnks!
I went for a lore accurate run by training on bulk data by connecting anyone and everyone with everything :D
Attached is a pic of that score
Very fun game!
Ran into some visual issues along the way (invisible cards and cards missing the background) but nothing game breaking :D
It can get pretty cluttered pretty fast but I guess that adds to the chaos of it all.
Quite enjoyable game, nice job ^o^
To make the game, we studied different symbols and how these symbols combine with each other. The more you play, the more you start to understand the possible combinations. If you pair cards randomly, it’s normal to get a negative result. The combinations are meant to be discovered. Do you think it’s more fun to discover them little by little, or to already know them in advance?
Hmm... we’ve never seen those bugs before! Thanks for reporting them!
I'm not sure if the bugs may have appeared because I was clicking the cards as quickly as possible, but it's a possible factor.
Probably more fun to discover them little by little I reckon, it'll help ease new players into getting used to simply matching cards, and then introducing more possible combinations which will also make things more difficult.
Loved the graphics and your take on the theme. This was fun! Just found it difficult to even get a positive score :D
Thank U so much!
A very challenging game. Nice art and music. The added mechanic of cards stacking on top of each other hiding the details of older cards is interesting. It ramps up the difficulty too quickly.
Thanks for your feedback!
Very chaotic, but entertaining. Good work!
The chaotic effect was intentional... but maybe it would have been better to tone it down a bit. Thanks for the review and for playing!
The very fast pace made the game challenging, but I enjoyed it.
The cards overlapped each other, which occasionally got in the way
We imagined a table where the cards get thrown around chaotically as the game goes on!
We’re happy you liked it
-4000! I am the ultimate match-maker! I give the people what they need, not what they want!
lol
Good point of view! XD
Interesting game… my score was -1350 =P
I’m not the right one to bring couples together!
Hahaha nooo!
You’ll see that with a bit of practice, you’ll manage to find the right matches!
Interesting game. I haven't played anything like that before. A little more time before dropping cards would be nice. Nice work.
Thanks! We spent a long time thinking about the timing of the cards. It would have been helpful to have the chance to do some beta testing!
Thats a very unique approach to the theme that i will never ever think of. Its considered quite polished for a game jam and the aesthetic is chef kiss. Love the artwork, great job!
Thank you so much!
Love the visuals and the music. You nailed the connection theme for the jam too! :)
thank you!
My pleasure :)

Nice approach on the theme.
I love the art and the randomly generated people.
Thanks for the review! We had a lot of fun designing every random detail of the characters!
