The visuals and the game loop are really satisfying!

THIS IS PEAK!!! I spent an hour playing this game (I know I'm very bad at this) and I finally beat it, and I didn't ever feel cheated or frustrated at all. The gameplay is fair and decisive, the decision making that all of the different abilities allow for some great comboing which feels very heavy hitting and well put together. I love the art style and the limited colour palettes of blues, as it makes the colours on each of the icons stand out more when they spin and are selected. Overall this is great work and had me hooked for ages, spectacular stuff!! :D

wow an hour! I'm honestly so grateful someone would spend so much time playing a game I made, I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for your comment!!

Banger. You could 100% build on this idea with more build variety and longer gameplay loops. The one piece of feedback I had would be that the combo scaling seems a bit weak to me, and maybe it made more sense for it to just be a flat multiplier? As an example, if I have 3 ROIs, it feels almost useless to get the plus 12 from playing a combo rather than getting some kind of other bonus. Fantastic game with beautiful art, music. and theming though. One of the best so far!

This is a super fun game! It's insanely polished for being made in only a week, and the gameplay loop is SUPER satisfying (I will say I'm a sucker for games like Slay the Spire) 

I really enjoyed creating combos and doing extra bonus damage, at first I was confused on how it all worked but it made sense really quickly and I was able to understand it all. Great job!

stylish game looks really polished in my opinion! color balance also on the top how this game is so blue but not a mess. Nice game!
Inviting you to play and rate my game <3

Damn! This game is grrrrreat (Yeah, the tiger dude)! God, so unfair... I really enjoyed it, a great mix of luck, strategy and puzzle that i strived for my game also, but don't know if I achieved as well. Great job!

Really really great game. Honestly one of the best ones I've played, got hooked on this one.

What a great game holy. This feels more like the vertical slice of a finished game than a 7 day game jam game. Great job on everything! Do not stop making games!

Crazy good. Serious to

Well polished roguelike! Upgrading the starting symbols seemed like a much better strategy than adding new ones, and rolling for the upgraded symbols is generally better than going for the unreliable combos. Realizing this made my second run really easy.

I really like the artstyle with the simple colors, the gameplay was engaging,
it would be cool to see even more different combos and upgrades

Submitted(+1)

Very fun idea! I would love to see the option to unlock new combos like we can unlock moves, and perhaps passive items that can help during a run. The executive value creation boss was really tough but it was nice to see the option to lower the stakes :)

Very cool submission. I could see myself killing several hours where I should be sleeping to play this on my phone. Wonder if it works on mobile since it has touch controls. May have to try it later!

Thank you very much! I hadn't thought about it but I just checked and yeah it seems to work perfectly fine on mobile, maybe that's an avenue I can take too!

I absolutely love this game, I've had a read through the comments and I have to say that it clicked for me right away. Thematically the red, green, blue / damage, heal, shield makes perfect sense and cuts through the corporate jargon. The cards and upgrades all made sense to me. The only point of confusion I had was regarding the rerolls; for some reason, I believed that they were in limited supply, so I held on to them through the whole game and only used them at the end when I was in dire straights. Not entirely sure how I reached the conclusion that they were finite, but there we are!

I enjoyed the upgrade system, in my run I simply went for the upgrades that increased the power of the skills rather than the cards that augmented them. I suspect the best strategy might be to mix and match? The art is lovely, very impressive how much you managed to create within the week. Lots and lots of polish and juice here too, it's a lovely entry.

I feel like this is more of a documentary than anything else. I have definitely worked with every single boss that I fought just now; ridiculous corpo babble included! 

It's also very well tuned and of a perfect length. I completed the game first time, but only just and it was fairly close towards the end. 5/5, loved this, thank you very much.

Probably my favourite submission yet!!! Very well-structured gameplay despite such a silly premise. Q3 Earnings Call def carried my run but I had to improvise other combos to get past The Executive Chief Value Creation Officer. All of the post-fight rewards were very impactful too!

Submitted(+1)

my first all 5/5 game! this is so peak that i don't have any negative/creative feedback to give! this is my winning candidate and i really think you should work on this more

Submitted(+1)

Wow, now I get what you were talking about. Our games are pretty damn similar. Loved your game overall, no surprise there lmao

Developer(+1)

much appreciated, yeah I was surprised when I first played your game, we had such similar ideas!
