Really cool entry! I played through it and had a great time. Here is a quick breakdown of my thoughts: • Gameplay & Design: The core mechanics feel solid and intuitive right from the start. The gameplay loop is engaging, and the controls feel responsive and fair. • Visuals & Art Style: The visual direction fits the overall mood really well. Everything looks cohesive, and the presentation makes it very clean to follow what's happening on screen. • Audio: The sound effects and audio design add a lot of punch to the experience and help build the atmosphere. • Theme Interpretation: You did a fantastic job incorporating the jam's theme into the core loop in a creative and clever way! Constructive Polish Idea: If you decide to update or expand this after the jam, adding a few extra feedback cues (like juice/particles or subtle screen shake) or expanding on a few mechanics could make it feel even more polished! Overall, awesome job for a jam project! Left you a high score/rating. Keep up the great work! 🚀

Really nice game with a cozy atmosphere. I feel like sometimes the opponent could be smarter with higher difficulty. But overall I quite enjoy playing it.

Simple concept, great execution, lovely visuals and feel. Great entry! A slight bug that sometimes the CPU would flip three cards? but I won 9-1 :D Nice work here.

@anastasia-pitomets / @thejackimonster / @designernap Thank you so much all - I didn't actually think I would have any ratings yet. I had an issue with the WebGL build from Unity - and haven't gotten around to fixing it.... so I'm guessing you maybe downloaded... if not - can I ask which browser you used?

@anastasia-pitomets My sincerest thanks - a really valid feedback - I might do a post-jam for it. For once I actually felt I made something somewhat finished - and it simply came down to forcing the scope of the game down to someting manageable.

@thejackimonster I absolutely agree - the lack of difficulty is actually perpetual bug. There is a block of code simply not being run. I'll try and get it fixed.

@designernap Again as with both of the others - thank you so much - especially that the visuals were good enough. It's my ... well... first real attempt at visuals that was more than placeholders. I think I didn't communicate one mechanic good enough - as the rounds progress your opponent will more and more frequently "cheat" ... so on round 5 you could get the opponent to more or less actually have 3 sets of cards turned. (I hope it makes sense)

I really love this art style! Such a cool idea and a great game. Awesome work!

Funny game, like it. But you forgot to disable developer console and it has some bugs when pictures dissappering

purpledartfrog 2026-10-20 18:26 ♥ 1

@tweekus I know with the bug - I just discovered them... it's because I just built it (the WebGL) on my laptop.. but the finishing touches was made on my desktop... so that sucks. Because that one was fixed. Might throw a new WebGL up tomorrow. I'll upload a version without dev active... I initially thought that was why the build from sunday evening had failed (at some point I had a game where I had to enable dev console... and that apparently still lives in my brain). Thanks for playing 😄

The classic game of memory with a cute "twist"! I like the introduction where I see the unflipped tiles once flipped. Tbh sometimes it didn't see when it was my turn and what was interactable and what was not. But overall a cute little cozy game with great visuals!

mackain 2026-10-20 19:40 ♥ 1

cozy :)

I really appreciate how you took a classic memory game and added a genuine twist with the opponent's antics. The way that competitive spirit is layered over the simple card-flipping mechanic makes the game surprisingly entertaining. Awesome work on this jam project!

Such a lovely and cozy game, it looks really nice. Had a great time playing against Mr. Trumpet, good job!

mikeware 2026-10-21 06:51 ♥ 1

Nice cozy memory game. Seems like there's a known bug, I think I could sometimes click too quickly thinking it was my turn before Trumpet was done too? I was a bit confused when I'd get to remember something vs. it remaining unknown. But the aesthetic was great for a memory game with a cute little jingle! Thanks!

Nicely done, relaxing atmosphere, nice graphics, and calming music. Very well done.

Such a nice, cozy game!

viktoria 2026-10-21 13:55 ♥ 1

I loved this game when I was a kid. The elephant is super cute.

purpledartfrog 2026-10-21 13:59 ♥ 2

@viktoria Thank you so much... just gave yours a spin aswell... brilliant idea... very retro 👍

liquid 2026-10-21 14:00 ♥ 1

I love the elephant graphics! The whole vibe is really cozy, and the cheeky cheater adds to the charm.

vorondesan 2026-10-21 16:17 ♥ 1

Hi, love the graphics, simple but pretty fun and fast game.

milq 2026-10-21 18:27 ♥ 1

Congratulations! I loved the hand-drawn style, with those sleeping cats and the elephants in the painting and on the TV, plus the idea of a turn-based memory game against Hr. Trumpet. Cozy and easy to play. Congrats again!

I really love this art style! Such a cool idea and a great game. Awesome work!

Cute! Although I feel like his cheating help me more to be honest 😅. Are his picks entirely random? It feels like it and if so, maybe it would be a good idea to give him a higher chance to pick the right ones after cheating to give him an edge.

purpledartfrog 2026-10-23 14:53 ♥ 0

@silkworm-sweatshop You would be absolutely right... I did sort of evaluate this as a bug.. because I had code in place that should have digged in to "memory" - but somehow it didn't work... and I think the jam fix-frame has been surpassed 😉 so I'll live with that impact on the rating

alex-mulkerrin 2026-10-23 18:54 ♥ 1

Very calm and relaxed game. Nice art, I particularly liked the art on all the pieces of retro gadgets. I'm not sure Mr Trumpet is that smart as his cheating helped both of us. When I clicked on a piece too quickly after his turn it would come up as a question mark but it's only a little issue. Good work on getting this done in 48 hours, especially with such nice art.

Oh man, I also saw your Plasmo something game video. That looks dope!

@serendibity-efreet Thank you so much... I would love to finish that... but it feels like it takes forever 😄
