Played at https://twitch.tv/hedge_in Part 3 @ 1:27:15. This was a very cool art style! I wish being approved meant more points somehow? Cool concept in general though!
Great art style! I've played quite a few of these make-the-right-choice games, and liked the theming around this one. I think I'd personally rather a countdown of choices to make rather than a countdown of time, because if you are quick enough you can just spam "Make a balanced choice" and they'll all eventually like you (unless that's the point). Either way though, great job for the jam!
Beautiful artwork and love the central concept! I did eventually find myself just looking at the up/down arrows and swiping in whatever way felt optimal, rather than engaging with the actual theme of that particular request, but for the scope of the jam this is a really nice entry, great work!
This game reminds me a lot of "Reigns."
Simple, intuitive gameplay with distinctive artwork.
Superb artwork! And I'm a fan of music tracks that can be played for hours
I think there are some design decisions that hurt this game honestly - the time limit and maybe also the preview.
Initially I read every message and try to deduce which member will like/dislike it - it didn't always work and took too much time, so I ended just agreeing to whatever demand the member I wanted to increase wanted. Only after reading the comment did I learned that you have a preview.
I think the game pushes to the direction of medieval tinder lol - just swipe as fast as possible, and not feel like a king weighing tough decisions
I did enjoy my time with it, and there is a lot of potential here I think!
Great work on this game! I like the art.
I just wish either I’m given slightly more time or have it on a cycle timer instead of an active timer so I can read the decisions that I had to make. I ended up just looking at the arrows to see what favors.
This is discussed on the stream that one of you asked: Maybe have the decisions hidden until they touch the card and then the timer starts going down. That way it’s still ample time to read and consider but still on a timer to make the decision hasty.
Great artstyle, gameplay is engaging as well. Would love to see this expanded on in terms of strategy though, thanks for the game!
I am hooked. great work on this game. love the artwok and the concept.
I like the idea, but you can just compromise the whole game endlessly :(
Oh, I love this version of the pun! Great idea, very fun to play! Strategy via morals, no time to think! The visuals are stunning))
Great idea for a game. I'd love to see more content added in future versions.
Pretty good game, good art and sound and mechanics. cant imaging the work to write all options tho. good job
Really fun twist on the countdown theme, I had fun reading all the lil options, but found out quickly you can just compromise with everyone and get and easy w! Still great work, and a very charming game! c:
I only played for a short while but I admit it was enjoyable to interpret a story out of how these characters were behaving, and for just choosing a path with the simple swiping controls kept me playing longer (I feel like if there was a bunch of extra stuff to do I woulda felt overwhelmed with a concept like this). art is also nice, and generally good visual design for UI stuff too. will give it another go tomorrow!
