Interesting game and concept that has potential. Really liked the overall style. I try to give you some feedback but i'm not an expert for this kind of games. Dont take my words too harshly, i know there is limited time in a jam and its ment for future development (if you wish so):\n\nFor me it felt like there is a little bit too much randomness involved which makes balancing for such a game pretty hard. \n- Depending on the randomness levels could either be pretty easy or extremely hard (i recognized that the overall numbers increased over time but placement and spread felt pretty random).  \n- You could get really good cards as reward or only decent cards or even the same cards after finishing a level (for example i got the choice between 1 card to add 3xGrumpys and 1 card to add 5xgrumpys, so its clear what you take). \n- And even the cards themselves had randomness like removing random animals or rows and stuff. As a player i whish i had more control over the outcome.\n\nSuggestions:\n- Probably create some currency like gold that you earn by securing your tiny creatues.\n- Buy cards\/rewards with your gold (have multiple tiers of cards with different costs and give the player 1 card out of each tier. You could decide if the player can only buy one card or all three if he has the gold)\n- change cards to give the player more control instead of pure randomness. Instead of removing a random row, let the player select a row at the start of the level (and so on)\n- I would probably create some pre-defined spawn patterns that you combine to build levels. Have easy patterns, medium patterns and hard patterns and combine them to create levels of different difficulties.\n\nOverall a great job on this game with a nice base concept!","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"},{"id":1120494,"author_name":"LDJam user 168929","author_uid":"168929","epoch":1729873268,"text":"Cute idea.
