Great idea, really ft the theme, simple to play but with some interesting challenge.
Very amazing game, you have one of the best participations in this jam! the decks and the ideas for each one really fits in the game design, and the game represents the theme very well. Keep the good work! (Consider trying my game on your way if you want to)
Amazing game, I had a lot of fun with it!
Failed my first attempt, then got the crazy upgrades (like sorting numbers and nulling even ones) on the second! Maybe there's a bit of randomness to tweak here.
Artwork is simple but sleek, maybe some VFX will add a bit to the juice. The audio track is right with the theme, stressful, although maybe a bit repetitive.
Congrats, you nailed the jam!
Wow, this is a really cool concept! It made me think and strategize about the ways of turning the most numbers to even (i locked in for that one card that turns evens to 0s, haha) and the planning when choosing new cards. The visuals were perfect and the sound design was amazing to listen to.
You really put some heart into it, this is very polished. Good job!
Love the art style and overall design. And this is a really unique take on a deck builder. It felt a bit on the hard side, but could be that it just needs getting more used to.
Wow really cool idea. I have seen a lot of puzzle games here but this is one of the most unique ones I have seen in this jam so far. Great job :)
Really cool idea and great game and great vibe amazing art style. Well done !!
Really cool idea, quick to get the hang of yet tough to complete! Nice atmosphere and design as well :))
This was fun. I've not really played a deck builder before but I really got into this and it was satisfying to complete.
Thank you very much! Really happy that you have enjoyed my game and that i could bring the deck builder genre to you a bit more! :)
As a Dominion (deck-building boardgame) and Slay the Spire enjoyer, I think this is awesome! Simple idea and executed well! You cannot go wrong with puzzly roguelikes!!! Sound design was also great, was sound composed by the team too?
Thank you! Really glad, that you have enjoyed it. Oh yeah dominion is great and Slay the spire is also one of my all time favorites!
The sound was partly done by me and partly i used samples. But overall i tried to mix most sounds a bit to work better together :)
Your game is btw also great! I saw it on the stream and enjoyed it a lot when playing!
I really liked this one. Clever idea, well executed... a little too easy, 3 rounds and I was able to solve them well before running out of time. Great work!
Thank you a lot! Yeah, it was a little easy as i was not sure when i tested it if its just easy for me (because i know the game) or its easy overall :D
As a fan of deckbuilders, this struck a cord; very fun! I tried to hit exactly zero, not knowing i could just go lower.. Great entry, thank you
thank you so much :)
Yeah, at first I had the idea to require exactly 0 but it felt unbalanced at times! For the game jam I went for <=0 but if I continue working on this I will definitely make it exactly 0 :)
Wow, I did not expect this game to be this interesting at first! I managed to open the safe with one attempt remaining, after getting both of the totally overpowered "odd/even digits to 0" cards into my deck. I really liked the different operations that were available, altough I think the "-X" cards are not that useful in comparison to the other cards, as they really only affect the rightmost digits and you generally need multiple of them to get just one digit down to 0, which can take a few turns compared to a "set to 0" card which is also very likely to be pulled for the right digits.
Very creative!
thank you so much and yes, you are totally right! Balancing is a bit off. Those -x cards were meant as cards that can be always played so that you don’t have any dead turns. I am sure there are better ways to achieve this in the long run but for the game jam this was the way I think :D
And yes… some cards are a bit too overpowered :’D
Very unique idea! found it quite difficult but fun nevertheless.
thank you very much :) glad you enjoyed the game!
First try, i had 600000 and i got the one that shift all the zeros ahahha, So lucky!
Nice Game!!
thank you hahah yeah some cards are a bit strong :’D
I like the unique idea, and for some reason it is pretty addicting and fun, the only thing is, I would expect a bit more strategic depth, maybe synergies and things like that to make it an even better, though I would understand that's kind of impossible in such a short time. Nevertheless, great submission!
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it! Yes strategic depth would be the next thing on my list but time run out :D But I will maybe continue working after the jam and add a few more things and some depth!
It took me three attempts, but I finally finished the game. I found it very original and genuinely interesting. I'd even buy a full version with larger, more elaborate puzzles. Really well done!
Thank you! I'm happy that you liked it :)
Good to hear that as i will maybe continue working on the project after the jam!
I finished the whole game and I think it is a super interesting aproach to the topic!
Thank you very much! Happy that you like it :)
That's an interesting idea, I love numbers and card games, and this one is both
Thank you :)
Yeah, i also enjoy card games a lot and thought that this combo could work well!
