It is too reliant on good card draw, since if you don't draw 1's there is no way to prevent losing. \nI feel like baskets shouldn't be tied to a number, they feel very restrictive and lifting that restriction would allow them to be a more reliable way to remove cards from the board again.\nDrawing an \"8\" basket, when my highest number on the board is 6, feels like a very cruel joke.\n\nOtherwise, very excellent!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":909127,"author_name":"torcado","author_uid":"torcado","epoch":1673383384,"text":"this is extremely good. played several runs, the highest i got was something in the 130s. addictive.  \nart is lovely, sounds are very nice. i do also think it's very luck-dependent, but not to the point where it's crazy frustrating, something a balancing change could make better probably.  \nreally great stuff :)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":911410,"author_name":"LDJam user 315748","author_uid":"315748","epoch":1673421597,"text":"this is my favorite game!!! beautiful sounds, nice graphics, really really fun game play.

I couldn't get far past 100, but it's very hard to put down. I keep wanting just one more go.

(Very unlikely.) Now it was fun, but I think if you are going to go that high of numbers on your cards you will need more spaces or some way to remove more than one at a time from them. As it is right now if you get a 7 of pumpkins and a 7 of cabbage you probably lose space if all three show up to almost always loose space. 8s are even worse and I never saw a 9 but they would almost always lose you space unless you were very lucky and only one showed up. I think if you make 6 or 5 the highest number with the 30 spaces it might work better but I'm not a mathematician this is just my guess.\n\nOkay now that that is out of the way...I liked the game it is fun the water making them higher value is a nice mechanic. The sound is fab. Love the pixel art. Yeah just the math thing. Also, space thing is only a problem if you don't want to have a \"wall of doom\" in your game if you want the player to lose at some point then it is fine. I personally find it a bit annoying if the game makes me lose but maybe that is just me.\n\nAll in all, a fun little game as long as you don't notice that probability is going to make you lose.
