fun museum management game. playing as an alien curator trying to save earth by collecting classic art is a super creative narrative hook. the UI is really clean and the random events and little doodles add a ton of charm to the whole historical vibe. the mechanics can be a bit hard to grasp at first though. good stuff!
Great Art Curation game! I'd Like to play if i'm maybe more knowledgeable with arts *^____^*
Great job! Excellent narrative, intuitive UI, and good sound and music!
This is really wonderful! I love this idea a lot, it could turn into a really cool full release with perhaps some more business management and more scenarios. Incredible for a jam game, though!!
As someone who once was an art major at Uni, I love this game!!!!
This is a fantastic way to gamify art. Lovely game, a bit hard to understand the mechanics but it's so pleasant to choose from the art selection. Only issus is that I tend to put my own taste in the choices when sometimes, it will be completely uncohesive or just paintings that have no value. Thanks for the game, it's really great work!
thank you!
This is one of the prettiest I’ve seen this jam. All the presentation is lovely, from the gallery wall to the sci-fi flair, and I love the little doodles for the event pop-ups. Great use of public domain works! This seems like a real hard game to play well, but at least I was able to save Earth!
i appreciate it! glad you were able to save Earth from demolition!
This game is amazing, definitely one of my favorites in this jam. It's insane how polished it looks, good job!
that's high praise! thank you so much!
This was a lot of fun to play. Part of me wishes that the three attributes were hidden, and part of me is really glad they are shown. There were a lot of events which kept the game exciting for replay. Great game!
thank you! i'm glad you liked the events!
I love the historical vibe! Super engaging and rich with atmosphere
thank you!
Cozy and a creative take on the count down theme. The UI sound effects really added to that cozy touch. Very approachable considering the circumstances. I guess being an alien museum curator has its perks :p
our curator certainly thinks so~ thank you for playing!
The concept is very original, I love the idea of an alien curator with a gallery of Earth's art. The UI design is also very creative. I had to try a few times to reach cultural significance, I actually had to think about my decisions when purchasing pieces. Great job!
nice, thanks for sticking with it! i'm glad you enjoyed!
Loved it! I should have been more balanced but I just focused on paintings I personally like hehe. :) Such a unique concept.
thank you so much! glad you enjoyed :D
Very cool! If you have time you should rate our game as well!
checked it out! great job on your submission :)
This actually thought me about some of the art history of the world, for that I immediately like it more, the UI is really well done as well
thanks! i hope that i can incorporate even more artworks from around the world in the future
A creative take on the theme and narrative. I like how the game incorporated artworks in the theme and the random events. A potential entry!
thank you!
I really like the narrative of this game. The aesthetic is very nice too. Keep up the good work.
thank you - you too!
This is beautiful. This concept is a masterpiece. And I'm pretty sure you will continue working on it and someday release it as a full day. As for now this is one of the strongest jam entries that I saw. Wish you to be featured!
thank you, that's very kind!
This is a gem! Probably the most "artistic" deckbuilder there ever has been. Very smart design!
thanks, glad you liked it!
Love the focus on classical art and it actually made me inspired to do master studies again. The whole backstory and random events and their puns are especially hilarious. I would've loved an atmospheric bgm and the ui to reflect a bit on the classical x alien/scifi design, but i really enjoyed the game. well done!
thank you! i'm glad you enjoyed the art & events. i also thought the UI could use some more polish but ran out of time unfortunately (yours is outstanding in polish & effects; i don't know how you did it!) there is bgm, but i think i made it a bit too quiet.
