It was very cute and I found myself immersed after the first few turns, it was fun to play! I really enjoyed the mechanics. I'm not sure what the symbols for the 3 stats on the top right meant though...

The corgi is cute, and it is as frustrating as any RNG game.

Cool twist on the usual game dev simulator type game. Art is great and game is fun.

Hi Teapoly!

Just finished your game and I must say you came up with a really novel concept here. I had another one of those "How did I not think of that" moments. Gamedev + Cards x Ludum Dare = brilliant!

The gameplay was nice. There seemed to be a huge variety of cards so a bunch of content which is nice. I loved the little doggy, artwork was extremely well done. The audio while strangely terrifying and ominous was nice, and I weirdly enjoyed it after a while.

However, I do have some slight issues too. I think around the midway point, it felt repetitive. I kind of struggled with understanding some of the cards and why sometimes I would get a lot of points and other times nearly none. There were too many variables in the mix. You could have had one mood bar instead of 3 different variables for example.

So all in all. You have a great game here. Game dev is one of my favorite genres and you added a really nice twist to it. Finding out how well I did at the end kept me playing. Good Job :)

This is what I call original entry! Love it. Love card games, and love the idea. The dog makes makes it even more enjoyable. Good job!

Fun idea and very good presentation. As a new player it was quite hard to follow what was going on. I think there was too many stats to keep track of for a marathon game which is only played in very short sessions. Maybe if I played it more I could actually start thinking more what should I play.

Enjoyed all of the different card descriptions! The different corgi reactions were good too. Impressive amount of content for a compo entry! Great job!

I have to say, I had a fantastic time playing this game - it's cool, clever, and the corgi is cute. There's a huge variety of playable cards, which keeps the game exciting and fresh, and the flavour text adds a lot to the experience. Plus, it -feels- very well balanced (I can't tell if it is, of course, but it seems right to me)! Perhaps the secret is to keep your energy high?

It took me a little while to figure out how the stats/mechanics related to one another, and what the icons in the top-right represent, but once I got the hang of it I had a wonderful time trying to keep everything maxed out whilst making my game as good as possible. The colour-coding for the cards was a great idea; maybe it would help to colour-code the icons, too.

Anyway! You should be very proud of what you have - it's a super-fun and super-playable game. Well done!

The dog is really funny, I saw myself in him multiple times. Good job!

Very good looking game. Is very niche as only game programmers can understand the technicisms and the logic behind the game. I would have liked a more graphical than numerical depict of the progression and results of the game to feel the development completeness. Cool work!

Good game.
