THIS WAS SO FUN!!!!
it's soooo satisfying to attain higher and higher levels of Glory as you figure out busted combos. all the cards have interesting effects we're excited to play around with – none of them feel basic or boring, their theming and mechanical effects are designed wonderfully. our best run involved 4 copies of Bow, each granting +15 Glory.....and then we lost cos we accidentally ended our routine instead of redrawing (which feels appropriately foolish. guess we got too into-character lol).
the music is lovely, the different poses the Jester switches between are great, the card art is adorable....the style of the game is plain delightful. I really like how the background sloooowly pans around (the sleeping royals that gradually wake up once you have enough Glory are a cute touch).
this is a fantastic game, I'm so glad it popped up in my queue. thank you for makin it!!!
oh a couple bugs we found while playin:
1. Playing a card and having it get stuck in the middle of the screen without resolving. It only happened once, while we were playing with fullscreen (in case that detail is relevant)
2. Going infinite with Flute. Based on our testing, this bug occurs once you have at least 3 copies of Flute in your deck. Playing Flute now causes you to duplicate one of Music cards in your deck alongside the intended draw effect. We know this because in our next routine, we'd find that our deck had several more copies of Flute than before. We know that it duplicates Music cards and not just Flute cos it would duplicate cards like Hurdy Gurdy as well. The order of effects seems to be:
1. Play Flute
2. Flute copies a Music card in your deck
3. +1 Glory and draw a Music card from your deck
Ooh, I knew about 1 (likely Tune, it's bugged). Didn't know about the Flute. Thanks a bunch~
Turns out Tune is bugged and will soft-lock the game if you play it. Watch out y'all. Happy Foolin'
Wicky loved the game so much and wanted to show you his costume :>
are you serious?????? I'm going to cry this is so beautiful :((((
Thank you so much what a lovely drawing!! I'm honored.
We're all screaming in our discord chat right now :(((
This is the first time I got fanart like this. It made my entire week 1000x better <3
Omg im so glad :D, you deserve it, your art is insane especially for such a short time and the game is so addicting hehe!
this is so much fun that i didn't even realize i had been playing it for 45 minutes oops
omg for real haha thank you!
What was your highest score? My friend somehow got 28/22 Glory
i think 17/12 was my highscore so far!! but now i have a score to beat >:)
haha the highest I got was something/18, my friend is just on a different level :D
I'm glad you liked our game thank you for playing
hey! just wanted to let you know a bug i ran into (in case you plan on updating the game at all after the jam!) i'll drag a card to the jester and it will just get stuck there in the middle of the screen and if i try dragging a different card, that one will get stuck too. the only way to change it is by refreshing the page and that restarts progress. hope this isn't annoying and this doesn't change my rating at all!
Thank you for highlighting it! It's a very valuable feedback and we'll see what we can do to fix it after the jam. That is if we decide to continue the game 🙏
This is latterly The most beautiful and stunning game, and the concept is so unique omg!! Im just confused what the Bookend stat means e.g(Bookend - + 2)
Thank you!! I'm very happy you liked it!
Bookend is a type of skill, it says that you need to play it first or last in a routine, then the effects will trigger.
The +2 effect in your case is probably from the Wave card? It says "+2 Glory if played first or last in a Routine"
It's kind of like a real bookend that keeps the books on a shelf from falling over, bookends are placed on the very left and right on a shelf.
I hope I explained it well :D
OHH makes sense thx ^v^
Very nice game ! I really like how it implements the countdown with the card system. The art style is really cute I like it. I did find a bug where I couldn't play cards, I would drag and drop them in the center and they didn't do anything. Congratulation for the jam !
I have a feeling that's not a bug, but a feature we forgot to explain. If the candle's flame is out that means you're out of time.If that happens. you can only play cards that cost 0 time or "End Routine" by holding the button. I'm glad you liked it and thank you for playing!!
This is a really cool game, I found myself playing it for 30 mins to figure it out
omg really! I'm happy to hear that, what was your highest glory score?
I got to the round where you needed 16 glory and missed it by 1 :')
This is great, love the style, music and the overall page style as well. Lovely job!
Thank you I'm happy you liked it!
loved the visuals and music!
Thank you!
wow i loved the art style! that looks like an incredible amount of work in 4 days. the routine combo gameplay was well done
A lot of blood sweat and tears were shed haha :D I'm very happy you mentioned it, and that you enjoyed the game!
Awesome.
Good job!!
thanks!
