Existing problems:

  • There's only 1 wolf card. There are no young deer.
  • The help button does nothing.
  • "Save" in the saved cards round is a discard

Minor Fixes (within LD rules):

12/5/2018 - Fixed COMMIT button submitting more than once per click - Fixed animal deaths failing to visually update - Drought now reverts treeoiloil to treeswampoil - Bugs now x2 swamp animal value rather than x1.5 - Board now properly checks if it contains animals - Salmon now double in value every 3 turns - Fixed bug where wolves can eat deer even after the wolf has died - I believe oil spill now kills salmon?

Love the concept. Good fun little game, the "save" bug was confusing until I read the description and understood. Art is superb, love the level and the magic inspired cards. Would be really cool if you fleshed this out to see all the interactions of the systems when it ramps up, but a lot of good content for a compo.

The game has an interesting concept, but i guess it would work better in a multiplayer system where the players share the environment or something against an AI. The artwork is also on point, good job!

i liked the concept, it reminds me a previous theme (mix 2 incompatible genre).
It's not easy to understand what's going on but i'm sure you can develop the concept more to have a really good game.

Graphics are good, great job !
