Did you work in a team?
Solo project. Great experience overall despite the last minute crunch. Learned a lot about code structure, scope, and polish.
Was the resolution a challenge?
For what it is, this game packs a lot of information about object relationships that the player needs to understand. I explain most things via sound and animation to conserve realestate and avoid having to use words to explain what's happening.
What did you learn?
I think I gained a better understanding of structuring a turn based puzzle like this, and I also learned how important it is to have a good framework for procedural animations. I originally intended to learn PICO-8 for my submission, but I quickly realized that I would not live up to my own expectations if I not only had to ship a game, but also learn a new platform -- so I stuck to what I'm familiar with: LÖVE, which the initial prototype was built in during the first few days.

Very cool game! The rules looked a bit daunting at first, but they were quite intuitive once I started playing the game. I like the options you have and the strategy it takes to optimise everything. The graphics are very charming and there's a lot of polish in the animations and sound design. I especially like the way everything counts up on the score screen. Speaking of the score screen...
Hah, I kind of regret exposing that much of the rules on the page as it seems more intimidating than they actually are once you start playing. Unfortunately I had to deprioritise the in-game tutorial, but I'll likely be adding that in a post-jam version.
1410 is pretty good! Thank you for playing and for the feedback!! :)

There is…zero tuning on the random selection. Every turn it picks how many actions you get, then rolls for each. Everything else is your brain ascribing intent to it. Funny how that works :D Thank you for the feedback!
