Okay, so results are here. :smile:

And to be hones I am a bit surprised. Some scores scores ended up being lower than I expected, but some (if only marginally) better than my previous result even though I expected them to tank. So I will try to do some reflection on each individual score.

Overall 3.11 (vs 3.0 in LD42). This is the one result I expected to decrease, but it ended up improving. It's not like I though that the game was bad, but I got quite a handful of comments of people who got confused and didn't figure out how to play the game, and I didn't expect to get high overall scores. Also there were some things that I didn't finish, which would have made the game more playable - like an arrow being drawn when you select an attack and select target. Or a UI counter to show your current number of mana available as stacks of tokens were not always easy to read.

Fun 2.88 (vs 2.77 in LD39). Again - an unexpected increase, as a lot of people ended up not having fun, unfortunatelly. But I am still glad it is here. Most likely this and Overall encrease is due to some polish - like particle effects, and animations (which were simply lerping, but looked great).

Innovation 3.27 (same as LD39). At a glance I felt like this score was low, but apparently it was about the same as my best score so far. So it was Ok, i guess. Still the Innovation (and theme) are my Target scores, so I was hoping for more. :rolling_eyes:

Theme 3.5 (vs 4.08 in LD42) Again - I was hoping for a better score here. And in fact put of last 5 entries this score would be second to lowest, but on the other hand the score is also the highest of all categories so... I don't know. Guess this is just an indication that my games are becoming more consistent across the board, so this one aspect no longer stands out that much. So I will count it as a good sign.

Graphics 2.85 (vs 3.26 in LD42) This score is my most disappointing one. I put quite a lot of effort into making visuals for the game, but got the result way worse than last time. Then again while I have developed some pretty nice things, some aspects were missing (like the floor under the table). And the card design was not pretty. But at least I have learned some pretty important things while working on those graphics and next time I will likely do even better.

Audio 1.71 (vs 1.42 in LD42) Well, it looks like I managed to pull off a better quality of lack of sounds this time :sweat_smile: But yeah, there were no sounds created for the game and the only reason I didn't opt out of this category is to let people get more "coolness"points for their games by giving me a rating here. Even if it's just 1.

Humour 2.29 (vs 2.34 in LD39) Considering the only entry that beat my current score was the only one I actually did put effort into adding "funniness"into in form of pop-culture references, this score wasn't bad at all. Still the only reason I kept it on was same as Audio. So moving on.

Mood 2.44 (vs 2.58 in LD42) Again this is a perry low score compared with other game, but that was to be expected as I didn't go for any specific mood. Except for being confused by game not being obvious to jump into apparently. :smile:

So all in all - I am content with the results. For about half of the categories I got the best result to date. So this is definitely a sign of improvement, but still there are way to improve. A lot.

Anyway - I hope to see you all next LD, and make an even better game then. :smiley:
