Seems you have an old build for HTML5 cause it looks different than what you have on your screenshots. Will play the final build tomorrow. Really cool concept. Hopefully I can check my collection in the actual game :D

Ok so I refreshed the page and the new build was online. Great artwork! Would be cool to have a open all booster pack button. Maybe right-click to sell automatically or when I hover over the card pressing a key on the keyboard to sell, add to collection would be cool. Bills are not worth to be paid down immediately but rather keep them around at low prices. Cool concept overall, I guess its an endless game, right?

Addictive game, from interesting people, I hope that you will continue to make the same high-quality content.
Amazing game!!!
Cool game with engaging gameplay! Opening cards feels fun and satisfying, and the core idea is really great. The only downside is some balance issues — you always end up in profit when drawing cards, and it’s actually easier to avoid paying taxes since happiness is easier to farm.
wow this is so addictive, well done
This was really fun - played about 15 days. I think there may be some balance that could be achieved with not paying a bill with $5 left to go until that last day holding a slot (maybe thats supposed to simulate holding off paying bills haha) but also there could be more to the collector theme if you had a way to look at which cards you have collected that might end up changing what you sell or put into savings, and make it harder to sell the shiny rare cards! Great job :D
Cool game, loved the premise and the artwork! Its missing a way to check out the card collection though 🥲
It is a fun game, I would have liked to see a collection or some type of progression such buy more cards each day, or expensive packs with some risk/reward. Lovely game, amazing art work! Congrats! Keep it up :3
Totally unrealistic, no way I could ever make a profit cracking packs XD
Awesome art, I really liked the sink one. Great work!
Love the artwork and style!
It eventually became easy once money stopped being a major problem.
I really wish there were more packs to open/cards to get
Tried a number of times and couldn't get past day 3 lol ( Was playing the post-jam version ). That's fine though, I'm usually not the audience for this kind of game, so take everything I say with a grain of salt. None the less, this was still very damn cool.
Absolutely loved the presentation, let it be audio or visual. The art was beautiful all around, let it be the cards or other things like the bills, happiness bag etc. If I did have to nitpick, I kinda wished the bag you put your cards into stood out a little more from the environment more. At first I didn't notice it was a bag since it kinda blended into the environment. ( Probably just a me-thing )
I also couldn't really tell at first that you could put cards into your bank account ( again, probably just a me-thing ). Still, once I really understood the core loop of the game, it got really interesting. I also like the whole meta-story underneath everything of needing to balance life with a crippling gacha addiction lmao.
All in all, I'd say this was a damn good entry. Kudos to all of y'all
Note : May want to add the link for the LD page to your itch page, if you haven't already
Extremely satisfying to play, love all the visual polish. Great job and thanks for the dopamine.
Visual polish is top tier! About the game itself, it's nice, but the gameloops gets a little bit repetitive on the long run, but this is a great base to improve upon, great job cowboys!
The cards look beautiful :) I paid off the mafia on my first day!
Top-notch as always! I made it all the way to day 7+, though I think I might’ve hit a bug, maybe I grabbed the wrong version of the game (was playing web version). My best strategy so far is to buy all the card packs and gacha them nonstop, pay the bills first, and not stress about happiness since it’s easy enough to recover. Really appreciate the attention to detail in the cards, the visuals truly shine there. Great job as always!
If there’s an post jam update coming, I’d love to see even more variety in cards or maybe some late-game twists to keep the tension going that I need to make active decision, or I can keep some cards in my gallery because they are well made and I wanna COLLECT THEM! Either way, it’s very polished and addictive experience!
Here's my bugged game btw ;) Snipaste_2025-10-08_20-18-21.png
I could sit here for hours doing this! My favorite aspect of the game are the juicy sounds and juicy vfx on the cards. Don't forget to wishlist replicat and whatever else that freak Brainoid is schilling these days
Wow wow wow, what an amazing game! I loved every second of it! The polish, easy to understand mechanic, general UX, all spectacular!
Really great game! Love all the artwork and audio. The overall polish is really solid. Super strong work on incorporating the theme so well into a really fun game idea.
Could I ask how you guys managed to do the pre and post jam update screen on your itch page? Really cool you can do that, i didn't know you could.
Hey @sharky3188! That was actually done using a tool called JamPack, created by a fellow jammer named @badcop. :slight_smile:
We were clued into it a few days ago, and we agree it's awesome (and also super easy to use)!
If you'd like to use it yourself, you can check it out here! https://badcop.games/jampack/
@coleslaughter, @badcop, thanks so much. Looks great!
This game is INCREDIBLE! There was a surprisingly fun amount of strategic depth. The one piece of feedback I'd give is that it seems like there is a type of pack gives worse cards than the others but maybe that's just my bad luck.
Loved this game! I got to Day 11 with $6k when I stopped playing. I fell into the winning strategy of just ignoring all my bills and pocketing all the cash. It's nice to see a game that teaches valuable life lessons!
Well done with the card system to support partial art, full art, holographic, and 3D rotation. How much is in 2D versus 3D to be able to tilt cards?
Bruh, please end my mysery (ToT). I can't stop winning. This game has no end.

Hey, great game! Graphics, sound and gameplay flow are on point for a good mood. It's very addictive but the most boring part is opening the booster packs. I am definitely not a person who feels the joy of opening booster packs, unlike my fellow coworkers with that POKéMON TCG mobile game. So making a button for skipping that part would be a QoL improvement. What I did really enjoy was doing the math to be financially responsible. Uhh, what else? Oh, yeah! I have an ultrawide screen and playing fullscreen crops the UI, so fixing that would be cool as well. I played the Jam version btw, so maybe you've already fixed that. Good job, guys!
Nice Gardevoir plushie in the back there btw!
Damn, this game is very addictive :D I love it so much! Really good job guys!

P.S. I played PostJam version
Great job! I really like how the FX shine and the overall polish of the game. It truly captures the feeling of collection card game, where you can pick up each card and appreciate how beautiful they are. If more versions of the game are planned, I’d suggest adding a feature to view your full collection and see which cards you’re missing; it would also be great to open more than six packs at once; or to reroll packs with different rarities, such as common, rare, or epic, to help complete the collection.
It's like an art collection with a game built around it. The graphical side is definitely the strongest. Thanks for coming to the stream! Here's the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2594438643
Awesome! I remember in my 20 I worked in a local board game store, and as a part of the job, I used to organize a small pokemon tcg events every week. A loot of cracked boosters and happy faces and I felt like this game gave that feeling once again. Every aspect of the game is top-notch!
Wow, the opening and animations are super cool. I collected cards to meet the requirements, but obviously I couldn't collect enough cards completely, so by the third day I had no money left. Damn this overspending XD

I am in a love-hate relationship with Uncommon Cards.
