I loved the characters, they all had a ton of personality - Loike was very relatable. The graphics and music were awesome too. The first puzzle was pretty cool, but it took me a while to get what I was supposed to do. I had to use both hints for the second one. The last duel felt a tad too easy - Cardinal Gaspard Ghetti was wrong every single time. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it - great entry!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":987148,"author_name":"cagibi","author_uid":"cagibi","epoch":1696261212,"text":"@sarah-northway @frogman Thank you for your feedback! That was my first puzzle game, I'm glad you enjoyed it overall.\n\nFor the second puzzle, did you feel like the shapes of the board\/ships were unclear, or was it more of a puzzle difficulty problem? Or a straight-up bug, like the hints not moving any ships to their correct position?\n\nAs for the duel, Ghetti's strategy is literally random (I thought that would be hard enough, but the game was less luck-based than I expected).","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":987388,"author_name":"LDJam user 372063","author_uid":"372063","epoch":1696266842,"text":"@cagibi I could definitely tell what all the shapes were, there were just a lot of possible permutations. And I admit since the hint for the first puzzle was so unexpected, I wondered if the hint for the second puzzle would be the same way.\n\nFor me I think every round Ghetti guessed I had played 0. Probably a coincidence, and it did have a chance of working, but after the first round I started adding my number to their guess. Also I always played the highest number. It was like playing rock paper scissors against the kid who always picks rock no matter what. Hehe.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":988308,"author_name":"blobo","author_uid":"blobo","epoch":1696276623,"text":"Woo! I beat all the puzzles without any hints (the vehicle arranging was a nightmare!) The stone guessing game didn't make a lot of sense. Sometimes the opponent would guess the total number of rocks in play was '0', yet they played more than 0 rocks, so... poor guessing on their behalf?

The hint system was super helpful, though, so it wasn't too bad.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":993115,"author_name":"cagibi","author_uid":"cagibi","epoch":1696310766,"text":"@100th-coin thanks!\n\nThat's weird, Ghetti shouldn't guess below his hand, he's not supposed to be *that* stupid.

To be frank, I didn't put the game to playtesting at all before release. At least not to that level. They say an image is worth a thousand words, well this video is certainly worth a million :p \n\nAbout the first puzzle, my bad, the reason is probably that the hitboxes of the outside dots are different from the buttons' shapes. And yeah, only relevant physical buttons have a dot (else I would have spent hours searching for other potential solutions to the puzzle that it would have created). I'll try to code a more robust version of that one.\n\nFor puzzle 2, in your playthrough, ship hints don't look very helpful indeed. They're supposed to move some of the ships to their final position, but when the board is cramped it's hard to notice. I mostly tested them on a near-empty board. Maybe I should clear the board first, at the cost of erasing player progress? (and now that I think about it, dragged ships should be bumped in front of other ships, for legibility)\n\nThe post-jam todo list just tripled in size I think :D \n\n@erlioniel Thank you!
