Creepy Crypt Critters by ArcadeEleven

A creepy crypt memory game. Discover the crypt, make new friends and have a good lunch with them. Playable on https://arcade-eleven.itch.io/creepy-crypt-critters-jam-version

Made solo in JAM (72h max - and actually way way less, after removing time with kids, working day and social life :)) I had a lot of fun doing it, and still have many many ideas to make it a more complete game.
Audio opt-out : SFX and BGM using assets. Graphics not opt-out : Some graphics done with the support of AI tools (+ always manual rework). All code from scratch, nothing reused.
Bug fixed : AI choices were not applied properly / sometimes causing a soft lockup.

Nice job 👍
there is a thing i didn't like at all: i was ice frozen in the end, and that, to be honest, is pretty cold!
The AI has a remember feature for card identification, and the AI memory has a drop mechanism that erase some memory according to certain constraints. This has been tested and, normally, is working properly.
There's an AI feature which is not implemented yet, it's remembering which cards were played recently, and not playing them again if there's no existing pair. So, what could happen, is that the AI is playing 'stupidly' a card that was just played (full randomization, without exclusion of recently played cards). Is it the behavior you noticed ?
Thanks in advance !
I liked the fact that my "host" did some mistakes, even if this is a computer and computer don't do mistakes. The ambiance is very nice. I liked the environment you created around this well-known game.
I wish you would've explored some way to shake up the formula and introduce some kind of twist to the gameplay.
The idea to introduce some dialogue definitely has some potential!
Exploring this further with more characters, and 'enemies' talking to you during the game could be really fun.
Solid visuals and audio!
