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.
I love everything about it from the idea to the execution, really fun and beautiful... Great job!!!
thank you so much!
A very interesting setting for a game like this. I like the idea. I just kind of wish there was more to it. I think the UI actually fits what's going on here. I like the different variety in artwork you can collect. I think there just needs to be just a little bit more game to it. Otherwise this is a unique entry of the games I've played so far.
thanks for the feedback!
im wayyy to stupid to play this kind of game but its really creative
thank you for checking it out!
Real creative game with a fun narrative and aesthetic! It taking from real art galleries is so cool.
thank you!
I’ve always been a sucker for this type of classical painting cut-out in games mixed with humor ! Too bad the rest of the UI doesn’t show the same level of polish and aesthetic but i’m pretty sure that your plan is to work on that post jam ! Loved all the introduction menu and really want to see more of that !
thank you! i did wish i had more time during the jam to add more polish. glad you liked the introduction menu!
Love the backstory and the cozy vibes. Good job.
thank you!
Love this! Relaxing and insightful whilst also providing some classic roguelike elements to make you want to go back a try different combinations of art pieces
thanks a lot! i really wanted the game to feel replay-able, so i'm really glad to see you think so!
This is lovely. From concept to execution this is truly unique and I hope you develop it further!
i appreciate it! glad you enjoyed!
What a creative way to create a game, I don't usually play this genre of games. But you guys did a great job, you should be proud!
The art is stunning!!
thank you! i was worried that this game wouldn't find an audience since it's not as action-packed or as fast paced as a lot of the games here, so i'm really happy to hear that you enjoyed it despite it being out of your usual zone!
I love the creativity and the setting of this game it's so whimsical, I spent most of the time looking for artworks that I knew the names of haha. Good job! :D
thanks! :D
