The game has nice sound and animation. Good reaction on player input.
Congratulations on the release!
Very cool aesthetics, I really enjoyed choosing carefully my caps, well done!
(there is some funny collision glitch with the caps, you can make them go up infinitely)
I like both the graphics and the music.
The game rules are confusing at first; the tutorial is in text form and doesn't work very well, especially in similar games. However, I was drawn in and really enjoyed the soundtrack.
The game felt so random, but then I started to realise the logic of building combinations and suddenly everything became very interesting. Vell done, good and unusual puzzle!
In terms of LD format, what the game really lacks is the browser build.
I recorded myself playing to provide extra feedback. Cheers!

And the combinations with a new caps are interesting.
Greate work!
This is such a good game! It took me a while to truly understand the mechanics, terminology and how things interact. But once I figure it out, it was really good! Loved building crazy combos and scoring 100+ in a single turn! Beside for some polish here and there, this could go straight to steam!
I see there is also a web build, but it isn't working properly as there is no way to exit the shop. The windows build works fine. Just like any good deckbuilder, there are enough types of caps to create ineresting strategies for scoring high comboes. Overall, a job very well done.
I really liked the chip design, the atmosphere, and the colors in the game. It's really cool. Keep it up!
I hope you'll continue to improve it after the jam!
By the way, if you like games with a slightly strange and surreal atmosphere, you might want to check out our game too 😜
