At first it was not really clear to me, what i was expected to do, but after I found out how to properly chain the cards, I spent waaaay too much time with your game.\nNow my max build up reached “Infinity” :-)

\n

Very well done!

I don’t think I’ve ever spent so much time playing a JS13k entry that wasn’t mine :). Awesome concept, great idle clicker with Incredible Machines style strategy twist and simplicity of cards - this game got it all. Try it, and if you don’t like it you probably didn’t understand, read the description one more time and try again. It’s worth it! Definitely my top 3 of this year.

Took me a bit of time to understand the mechanics but eventually got a hold of it. it wasn’t totally clear how the card chaining worked no matter how many times I read the help text. Eventually I found some patterns that worked and stuck to em. The game really opened up when there was some automation, that was nice!

Love the game <3 big fan of incremental/idle games :) Played a lot, start was very confusing, maybe short tutorial would help but other than that - amazing game <3 oh and maybe show the links between cards more clearly or like an active state of “+” indicator?

I was a bit confused at first but eventually I think I figured it out. Maybe this could use a tutorial, or some UI changes?

\n

Surprisingly, I really liked the graphics and animations. It’s all simple but appropriate and effective.

The graphics looked good and it was easy to move cards around. Wasn’t really sure what to do in this game. I could move that single card around and right click just made it flash red. Maybe a tutorial or some easy way to start would be good.

A cookie clicker like, looks good.

\n

Was a little confused how to get past clicking a lot and I am on a tracker pad which was a bit of a pain.

\n

I will have to plug in a mouse!

\n

Would be nice to have less clicking earlier on.

I really like the graphics and the UI. The animations are also satisfying. I did struggle a bit with the gameplay. I wasn’t sure how I should align the cards to maximize the effect, and I was never able to predict the sum of points based on what I was clicking.

I like the interface, looks good and very smooth, but I didn’t really understand the game and how the cards were supposed to work together. It didn’t seem like an ‘idle’ game since I had to keep clicking everything.

Took me a while to understand what to do.\nLooks like it could be quite addictive if you enjoy idle clickers.

Really innovative take on an idle game. You place cards that either add or multiply in the direction of the pluses around the edge of the cards. Took me a while to figure out, but once I chained a few upgraded cards together I was making millions. The progression curve was a bit steep; I rapidly got to the point where I couldn’t afford cards anymore, so I couldn’t really play without going idle for a long time.

\n

Excellent game.

It took me a while to understand but after that the game is very cool! I’m still struggling a bit to make the most out of my cards, but this is on me. :p

Fun game. Really confusing at first. The description of each card is not clear at all. I only understood how the cards worked after reading the comments.\nWhy does the price of the cards suddenly jump to several million? I’m only earning 50k per turn so that takes several minutes of grinding for just 1 card.\nThe graphics and little animations are really well done. Sound effects (an better instructions) would make this game great.

Neat idle game that I think just needs some sound design in order to round out the experience and provide some feedback when the player does something. Like a spellcasting sound effect when an ability is used.

Great work, I’ve played this way too much :) I had a bit of trouble onboarding and got discouraged at first, but I’m glad that I gave this game another try. With a proper combo, it’s quite easy to get to really really really big numbers :)

The game looks nice and complex. I love the graphics and their consistency. The game is hard to understand right away - maybe sound effects would give it a more interactive feeling. I can’t see this free III Rank Card as my Coil Bonus - was comparing both - active-Coil and inactive-Coil and both look the same. Did something go wrong? Really missing some kind of a main menu with the info about the WM bonus… but big congrats for graphics and game mood.
