Cool as heck puzzle game that's pretty dang creative with countdowns. The art is also really nice, I enjoyed playing this game !! (and getting blown up )
Thank you very much for your review 😊
Really cool! it reminded me of the balloon puzzle from OFF. The art was really good, and the music was pretty good too. I liked the character designs and thought it was funny that i had to go against a wendigo. I liked the gameplay, the gambling -esque nature of it. all in all, a pretty good game.
Thank you a lot for your review, I'm glad you liked it 😊
Amazing game! Very nice twist on the matches game that really made me stop and think👌The formula is simple yet very effective. Honestly, it's probably one of my favourites so far, because I felt like it could easily be expanded to give full game experience as well, which made me eager to see even more levels. Upon my play-through I felt like the random player starting was maybe removing some strategic aspect, is it something that you felt during testing as well or did I not think far enough? 😛
Thank you very much for your kind review. I agree with you, I think Random Turns should have been use only for one opponent, and let the player strategize more by knowing who starts on the next turn. I am planning to make a Deluxe version after the jam with some modifications.
Amazing! I still think the randomness was fun though! Thinking about it made me remember one of GMTK's videos about the "two types of randomness": maybe we could, in most level, know which player will start at random *before* we can take the decision of the card we'll use 😄 I'll definitely be looking out for that deluxe release 👌
Amazing ! The bonus cards work incredibly well and the polish is really impressive. The narrative and visual aspect is also really appreciated. Great work !
Thank you very much for your review 😊
Extremely fun concept that is worth expanding on post jam! Beautifully hand drawn art and surprisingly deep strategy considering the limited action we have on hand. The opponent card where they hide how many times they pressed the button makes it quite hard.
I really enjoy the levels where you know the personality of the opponent before playing so you can strategize around that. Perhaps that can be made into a mechanic as well? Say they tell you if your opponent is aggressive or erratic to tell you more about how they play.
All in all, very well polished and fun experience!
Thank you very much for your review! I'm glad you liked the game! I think that's a good idea for every demon to have a personality who can be associated to the "way they play".
Fun game ! the art and the narrative is great !
Thank you very much. I'm glad you liked the game 😊
A very well-polished experience! It's a well-known puzzle, but you had some really interesting twists on it!
I had a blast with this game! Sad that it's so short because the experience is so smooth and really kept me engaged--an impressively polished small game.
Thank you very much for your review. I'm glad you liked the experience 😊
Incredible. Super polished, spot on with the theme, really cool iterations on a classic logic problem, and the art and music are stellar. 10/10. Absolute banger.
Thank you very much for your review 😊 I'm glad you liked the game!
the only thing I found myself wishing for at the end was an endless mode where I could try to go for a high score, perhaps with a life system so I can fail at least one or two puzzles before being eliminated. As is the core loop is great, but doesn’t really punish you too much for being bad at it or reward you much if you play consistently and make no mistakes. If I could show off how many rounds I was able to survive I would be motivated to lock in and really try to solve each puzzle rather than just rolling the dice and hoping for a good outcome until I win (which I did on a few puzzles!).
Really polished game for a game jam!
The characters were all charming in their own way and made me want to get to the end to see them all.
The duels ended up feeling a little bit too random at the end, since your opponent also has special cards, and you can't really plan around them, but having a checkpoint at the start of each duel made it a question of time.
The special cards did add quite a lot to the game though especially when you have them so I did like their inclusions.
Also really liked seeing the bonus art after finishing the game! Congrats!
Thank you very much for your kind and detailed review! I'm glad you liked all the designs of the demons. I agree, I think the random part could be more balanced, maybe by knowing what are the special cards in your opponent hand? I am planning to publish an edited version of the project after the game jam thanks to all the feedbacks 😊
The reason why I'd score this a bit lower on the gameplay aspect is because the counting thing is solved. If you're the one going first, you're always able to win. Regarding the art I was very amused. The design is cute and coherent, and I'd love to see you develop something with more gameplay value in this style!
Thank you very much for your review. Your comment about the gameplay is very understandable, that's also why I added some special cards and the fact you don't see the move of your opponent: sometimes, the player who starts is really not the winner at the end. I'm also glad you liked the art. 😊
great atmosphere and character designs! i thought the order in which you introduced new cards worked really well to ramp up the difficulty as well- i enjoyed this a lot!
Thank you very much for your review 😊
The gameplay really cool and kinda give vibe of RE7 mini game for me.
And it also energized my desire to play by looking at the rivals in each level, it's really well-designed.
If you have the time, please try and rate my game too :D
Thank you very much for your kind comment 😊
the gameplay is very unique and i LOVE the art. very very coools
This is so awesome. Love the art, love the gameplay, and the writing had some serious charm. Amazing job!
Thank you very much for reviewing our game, and for your kind comment. It counts a lot from you 🙏
Great spin on Nim. Amazing art, too. Solid submission!
Nice spin on that classic Nim game! I especially like the card that allow your opponent to hide the card they chose, it really makes you think your strategy differently.
The art is also really solid, I like the fact that every opponent has a unique design. And it’s cool to see concept arts as a bonus :)
Great work!
Thank you very much for your kind review 😊 Merci beaucoup d'avoir joué au jeu :)
Very impressed by the art and the level of polish !
I think an option to speed up a little bit the game could be of interest, otherwise just congrats !
Thank you a lot for your kind review 😊. I agree, that could be a good idea to speed a bit the animations of the moves!
Super cool game! I really ejoyed it, I like these simple card games.
Died a bit of times but I managed to finish it. Maybe a game speed option would have been great, especially when you die multiple times
Thank you very much for your kind review. I agree, that could be a good idea to speed a bit the animations of the moves!
Amazing artwork and character designs! Nim is the perfect game for the Countdown theme, and all the special cards make it way more interesting to play. One of the best games in the jam for sure!
Thank you very much for your very kind review, I'm glad you liked the game 😊
