Wow, It's not easy too make a fully fletched card game in such a short amount of time.

This is really nice though! Congratulations!

This was great! 5/5 on mood: I was worrying about my food resources, then I was so relieved when I accidentally got infinity scrap metal and I realized that by achieving that with my vital resources, I might be able to survive in the long term after all. Later, I laughed when I saw that some cards cost infinity as well :)

I wish there were more chapters: the same story, but divided into smaller chunks, so we get a chance to learn more about our supporters and our past transgressions.

The only negative thing was the interactions in the last chapter: I already had infinity of all the regular resources when I began the last chapter, so it was only a question of finding the right cards and then I immediately got infinity of the new resources as well. I think it would have been a nice opportunity to use ordinal numbers or cardinal numbers, so you'd have to spend 16 x infinity of one resource to get infinity to the power of infinity of some other resource or something.

this is something I see myself loosing hours in. good job, especially considering you worked on that alone!

Wow coo and clean idea.

This kinda reminds me FTL but without the space combat, like you know when you visit a space station or a derelict vessel and have the option to board or fight the spiders infesting it? I love these kinds of games, this one kept me busy for a little while. good job

I really got lost in that game, loved the strategy and could have played it for hours. I made a silly mistake in chapter 3 and ended up dying :sob:

The cards you get seem to be very well thought out and balanced so good work on that! This will be one of the few LD games I come back to try to beat later. Well done!

Great game, i played it for an hour.

I really, really dig the music. Nice orchestral horn sounds. Great work on that! Interesting choices to be made in this game, I think you did well designing the cards and the way the resources all interact. I think placing a time limit per turn may even help to push things along and keep players from overthinking things like I sometimes found myself doing. Nice work!

As I saw the looping effects I was worried the game might just crash, but I couldn't resist. Really nice game. Got limitless first in turn 4, then realisied I could go all in on all the stats in turn 5. Again, was a lot of fun :) [edit]: actually, it was so much fun I just have to rate everything with 5 Stars. It's a concise little experience I just didn't expect

Very interesting cgame~So cool~

Really interesting and innovative game! I died multiple times in chapter 3 and didn't manage to finish the game yet. Still, the gameplay is very intriguing! The randomness doesn't feel like it is unfair at any time during the game. The only thing that got me killed several times, was the fire event. Especially when it occurs multiple times in a row. The design is very clean and visually pleasing, the music is subtle, yet very enjoyable! Overall, everything fits very well together in your nice concept! Well done!

I really liked the game design and progression. The first time I saw the scrap metal-electronics combo, I didn't dare play it, thinking it would crash the game. The chapter 2 to 3 transition is pretty abrupt at the moment but the entire game is very well put together.

WoW this game has giant potential! I really liked the gemaplay and mechanics! Great job

kiv 2019-05-11 13:04

Great job! It's really addictive and atmospheric. I like the learning curve and progression

xebia-jam 2019-05-12 01:27

That was an amazing experience, you did a really good job ! When I reach the 3rd chapter I was quite lost with the infinity world within world thing but then I managed to get infinite scraps and electronics and that was almost finished ! Really loved it !

What an excellent game! The entire presentation is clean, effective, super-polished, and does an excellent job of setting the mood. The gameplay itself is fun to figure out, and very well balanced. The use of infinities in the game and the story is very well done. Sometimes the log would empty when I'm not sure it was supposed to, but otherwise this is a fantastic entry that kept me wanting to play the whole time through.
