First of all, to our surprise, me and my gf played this game over 20 times and more than 2 hrs in several days, it has a really good polish! for me this is almost a finished game and wish to see later more of it, we enjoyed it very much! For this reason I'll like to give substantial feedback:

I would make the tutorial skippable.

I was able to skip playing the first influence card from the tutorial.

There is a bug that when I discard unionised workers because of Crackdown the game freezes.

Dropshipping makes almost no sense because the way the shop is organized (based on the income that round) it's impossible to buy a second one.

There is too many curses, making culling the deck and cards that destroy it (No Friends, Cleaner) almost useless and it makes it feel frustrating.

The animation of the wheel gets too long after a few playthroughs and it would be cool that the player has the option to make it faster.

Idk why I cannot see my discard/draw pile, the code is there for sure because I can see my whole deck.

We realized buying just money makes you grow faster than any other kind of deck manipulation card (Visionary, Mineral Investment).

Illegal mining is awesome and also OP. (got ETFs with it in 2002 and Gold in 2011)

The curses are not build the same, crackdown is basically way more manageable than taxes.

The discard text from crackdown is not clear, discarded a bunch of times the first card we wanted to play.

Really good soundtrack, nailed the looping.

Also, do you know any tutorials for the card animations and juice you had in your game? I am also making a card game (Blood Protocol you can see it in my profile) and I am having trouble with these exact stuff like drawing the cards from deck to hand with animations, would be awesome if you could show me where you learned them, I'd be very thankful!

All in all, 10/10, best game for me from the whole game jam!
Developer

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback!! It's super useful. I had a look at your game blood protocol and it was a very unique concept. I can send through some code when I'm at my computer, but basically the main way that I do the animation for the cards is by setting a "target position" which is what you would currently be setting directly as the position, and then I run a basic physics model to make them animate and spring to the positions.

ah actually just found a decent tutorial which also has source code with a similar effect: 

let me know if you want more details of what I did specifically

Very good game. The only thing I will say is that I crashed when one of the cards I discarded from the police was the unionized workers card, I'm assuming the game was trying to play that card next but then it got all confused when it didn't exist the next frame.

I could see this game expand into a full-on parody in addition to an addicting gameplay loop! It is quite a challenge to beat!

Submitted

very serious Game about Money. Sadly like in real life i didnt became a billionaire, but that doesnt stop me from trying again.

Submitted

I loved your game and its message ! Correct me if I'm wrong but you can't win right ? Anyways, nice experience, I think I have no notes, more content would be the only thing I'd say you should add.

Great game, loved it, good job !

Developer(+1)

You can win, but as with all game jams I made it too hard (and a little luck based) XD

Submitted

Really fun! I'm wondering what the best strategy is...

Btw if you have too many crackdowns and discard your whole hand the game gets stuck.

Submitted

Love the balatro style! Everything feels very smooth to play! Great job!

Submitted

Amazing UI and card animations. Great concept of a game!

Submitted

Havent won yet but the game is quite addicting.

Submitted

Very impressed with the ambition with all the cards. The challenge seems tough but possible. Really good interface design.

Submitted

Card movement /interactions is butter smooth, well done!

Submitted

This is a really engaging one! I personally love anything card-related and this one nails it for me mechanically. The visual style is pretty simple, but it just works. I got to 130 million on my first try, so not very close, but I understand that that was kind of the point of the game. Though if I have to say, I'm not sure if the handling of the theme was really on point...

Submitted

Oh wow, this game was really awesome, I will definitely play it again! Loved the cards, the choices, the mechanics, the music, the visuals, everything!

Submitted

Wait I have to clog up all my USB ports, because there's GAME JUICE just flowing out of my PC!!!

Submitted

incredible game :D my favorite so far

Submitted

I could see myself spending endless hours playing this. Perfect fit for the jam. Great game. 

Submitted

Really fun, I like the visuals and sound effects.

Submitted

this was sooo amazing favorite game of the jam so far - would you consider adding a skip spin setting? game plays slowly for my zoomer mind with it + skip tutorial

Developer

Thank you!! And yeah I totally felt the same thing. Will add a skip spin/tutorial in future versions

Submitted

Freaking great fun! good theme integration and solid mechanics. Really well done.

This game HOOKED me. This is the first game im rating a 5/5 in enjoyment because it is SO FUN. I do wish the visuals were more interesting but the core gameplay loop itself is just really addicting. I probably will be coming back to this game again in the future, because I'm really interested in how you can become a billionare.  

Unfortunately, it did crash on me once. After using my last influence point I drew 10 cards from churn and burn, i got the curse Unionised Workers that makes me lose money, and after the wheel stopped spinning the game just became unresponsive, i had to refresh the page.

But I did not really mind that it crashed, because that just meant I had to start a new run and play again.
