It's not a style I've ever used myself, so i imagine it's very easy to get it wrong. Props to you.\n\nUnfortunately this one didn't grab me at first. There's not much of a threat of failure here, and being docked points for using card monte too many times wasn't very obvious or meaningful to me. Honestly the card monte is probably the most engaging part of the game.\n\n Once I read the invitation to share times though, that was the kick I needed to have much more fun with the game.![45sec.png](\/\/\/raw\/946\/24\/z\/46bbf.png), ![hardmode speed.png](\/\/\/raw\/946\/24\/z\/46bc0.png) Here are my best times after a few playthroughs of each difficulty.","format":"md","likes":5,"spam":"N"},{"id":723254,"author_name":"crotonyl_alcohol","author_uid":"crotonyl-alcohol","epoch":1633415599,"text":"I couldn't figure out the rules at first...But anyways I managed to win the game.

It wasn't immediately obvious to me that you had to reach the other side so I'm not sure if I missed something but some kind of indicator would have been good! I also couldn't see any advantage to not going straight across but I guess the \"metal detector\" card would have added that extra strategy in choosing where to go.\n\nI love the idea of going for points or a quick time since that definitely increases the replayability of the game! It would have been nice to see a point counter and\/or timer so you know where you're at when trying to beat your own high score. The addition of hard mode was great as well adding to that replayability without having to increase your jam workload too much by adding a bunch of new features.\n\nThe graphics were really nice and fit the vibe of the game really well. The added touch of the animation on the card made the game so much more polished without even being something I noticed at first so love that! I liked the different sounds effects as well which made the game more responsive and engaging. Again, the little touch of even the start menu sound effects. I did find the music a little repetitive although it was nice and soft so didn't get annoying.\n\nOverall, really great job making such a polished game as a pair!","format":"md","likes":9,"spam":"N"},{"id":768239,"author_name":"LDJam user 266061","author_uid":"266061","epoch":1634677878,"text":"That's a great game.\n\nYou may have lacked time to implement some mecanisms (especially about unstability, because here there's not this aspect much), but looks like a legit game you would download on a appstore.\n\nThe graphics are so cool and polished, with small animations. Well, since I am of those who don't really read instructions, I was a little bit lost but thankfully I quicky took the grip. It would have been better to have a starker difference between each phase instead of just been written in the top right corner, but I guess you didn't have enough time.\n\nAbout time and score, I'm not really a performance player, so I quickly forget.\nBut I can say I died many times on normal run (because I was curious, I'm not so bad I swear).
