Probably not too impressive but this is the best score I managed after a few attempts.

Cool concept overall - it probably needs more mechanics and felt more luck based than strategy as is but there is still some risk-reward style depth in playing for score or discarding in hope of more turns.

The art is cool! I like the abstract patterns and the keepers are cute.

The sound design is great! There is a fitting sound effect for everything and the music is nice and atmospheric. Good job!

Great work overall, I had a fun time.

Took me a game or two to figure out the rhythm but I get it! I liked the mechanic of trying to decide which cards to discard and which to play to try and maximize my score. I didn't realize at first that runs had to be consecutive, and then even after that I didn't realize you could have runs of any number of cards but once I figured both of those options the game really opened up.

Nice audio, good general visual polish, and the whole game runs from smoothly. Lots of nice little polish details such as the feedback on selection and the counting up of the points. Being able to see those nice animations as my points total up really helps with the overall vibe of the game.

Got the whole year! this was a pretty cool game I think the months of the same season could benefit from having a matching colour scheme.

I also loved the trippy background

Pretty cool game and cute characters. Interesting concept for the game and it feels pretty polished.

Nice game! The concept is very interesting, and I would like to see it explored further (maybe with other bonuses ?). The animation and soundtrack feel very trippy, and I managed to get the full year after four of five tries. Really cool!

My best score is 18000. It's got some potential, you should probably expand more on the mechanics of the game to make it less based on randomness and more on skill of the player

Cool game! Great visauals, sound and atmosphere — feels very smooth. It would be nice if it had more description on the page, because tutorial was not that intuitive, it took some time to figure out the rools :sweat_smile:

Really loved the music, backgrounds and general vibe. Could use a bit more instruction or ideally a tutorial to show you a sample run.

Best title song ever.

Interesting game. Simple mechanics and cute art, but I found myself lacking the drive to play more. There's also little adherence to the theme.

cool and polished card game in the spirit of Solitaire. Did not see a relation to the theme. I would love to see a version with the rules tweaked a bit in the direction of more control of / knowledge about the cards.
