Fantastic game! The core idea is simple, immediately understandable and works really well. I especially like that the tells aren’t always identical, so you still have to pay attention instead of just memorizing one feature per monster.
The presentation is absolutely outstanding.
The art style is gorgeous and incredibly cohesive, and everything from the character designs and animations to the UI, music and sound fits together beautifully. This is easily one of the best-looking jam games I’ve played so far, and the atmosphere completely sold me on it.
I made it through all six rounds with one life left, then immediately made the wrong call in the bonus round and died. Finished with 2850 points. Is that any good? I’m definitely going in for another run.

Edit after a second run: I made it to round 20 and nearly 10,000 points before stopping. Once I knew all the tells, it started to get a bit too easy and repetitive, so a few more variations or some increasing difficulty over time could add even more longevity. Still a fantastic game overall!
