Bobby's Beautiful Bugs by suvi

[raw]
made by suvi for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

Help Bobby sort his bug collection in this solitaire variant.

The default setting is what we found to be the most balanced gameplay, however the Brainy preset is definitely worth a go...or ten. Customize gameplay to be easier by reducing [cards per suit] or increasing [columns], and vice versa to increase difficulty.

After many tries, I finally managed to beat it xD
It could use more features to ease up the process without having to restart, I think

Other than that it has a veeeeery aesthetically pleasing design, a relaxing soundtrack, and I adored the UI! Well done, really beautiful game ^^

Thanks for the comments!

@irene02 Congrats! For sure, the closest we have to that atm is tweaking the difficulty in settings

@krit1k Ah geez...it does, doesn't it...and I thought we were being clever and original :'D

Hey! A very interesting take on the theme and this engaged my little grey cells in a fashion I was not expecting. Nice chill sound track and a well crafted card game. Can't complain about this at all!

The immersion is quite good, and the art and UI are very creative. However, it feels like the solitaire mechanics and the theme aren't perfectly aligned. Still, it's a very fun game, and I cleared it on my first try!

My god I guess I have a Solitaire addiction or something, I played way too much of that.

What is it with cards and parlor music and incremental dopamine hits that make games like this so appealing? Humans are such simple creatures

Really polished game and love the graphics, everything is just so smooth and responsive and I like the system that auto-places stuff for you. Also I wasn't aware that you could make stacks at the top that don't start with an ace, that's a new mechanic for me.

Nice work!

Great implementation of a classic solitaire game! I loved the audio very much and the game feels just very polished and pleasing to look at. It even has quality of life features like auto-completion and undo. Very impressive for the jam! Great job!

I would play more different solitaire games in this aesthetic.

Such a well polished entry. I especially love the art and sound effects. If only more solitaire games looked like this!

That's really pretty. Starting from main menu, it was fun putting a card on the spot to Start. Art is just beautiful. I love cute insects and this just looks chill. I especially liked the blue butterfly on the card. Played one round, it was very relaxing ^v^/

I've been doing LD for so many years but I don't think I've ever played a Solitaire-like submission until now. I liked it!

Beautiful looking cards and I found the music and rhythmic card flipping sound soothing. I was originally planning on playing for 10 min to get a feel for it but found myself going for close to an hour. I only stopped because of an appointment.

Great game and very well polished jam entry.

Nice solitaire featuring tiny creatures. Alright j/k, it's card sorting game. I've managed to win the game twice, one with balanced and the other with custom difficulty.
