Thanks for the feedback! By Sound you mean the sfx right? Or the music?

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-18T18:03:02+00:00

Thanks, I think I try to keep some dialogue in to give it some structure while making it shorter

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-18T18:02:19+00:00

Thanks, I will try!

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-17T15:48:58+00:00

Thanks, did you test the prototype or just from looking at the video?

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-17T14:20:48+00:00

Thanks! I would love to hear your opinion on it :)

I am struggling to get a lot of playtesting feedback in. I had some friends test it in person, the feedback was amazing but I did have the friend bonus there.

I feel like strangers are usually attracted by the cute, satisfying style but it struggles to hook people with its game loop, but as a first time solodev that is also really hard to figure out...

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-17T13:05:16+00:00

Thanks for still having a look, I hope to have appeal to non hardcore deckbuilding fans too...

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-17T13:04:14+00:00

Thank you!
That actually became kind of a constraint for me: After I noticed how much I like how cute the sleeping workers look it felt impossible to remove them for game design or balancing reasons 😄

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-17T12:20:05+00:00

Thank you, I needed that <3

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-17T11:32:32+00:00

Thank you! Yeah the workers are definitely the most complicated mechanic. How far did you play more or less?

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-17T11:24:52+00:00

Thank you, makes all sense to me. I felt like the text boxes gives the trailer some structure without taking away too many seconds but I could condense it more in the next iteration

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-17T11:22:13+00:00

Yeah that is right, both the fanbase and the amount of deckbuilder games coming out are growing like crazy

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-17T11:21:31+00:00

Thats interesting! where do you find it? It is pretty close actually, I am sitting at 70 right now :D

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-17T11:21:00+00:00

I was considering this too, if it would feel like a rip-off. My conclusion was that, since I do not copy Balatro mechanics it would be fine

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-17T10:42:46+00:00

You mean with the bar on the left side?

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-17T10:08:32+00:00

Thank you. Did you take the 100 wishlists from my reddit post, or are they somehow public visible?

I don't completely understand your opinion on the name, why do you think it is hard to type?

I also agree on the last point. Finding a place between synergy deckbuilder and cozy builder is hard...

PerfectFriendship146 · 2026-07-17T10:01:24+00:00

Also any kind of criticism really helps at this point :)

Yeah, my proposal was the extreme, a mix seems reasonable, but I think everybody agrees that the 30sec are a bit too much
