Thought on the game

Looking back, I like what I did for this jam.

The game design works as well as I was expecting it to. it is far from perfect, of course, but it does challenge players with interesting decision on average. It is a Solitaire Game that would be unpractical in physical form but that function in video game form.

I've not added all the rules I wanted, but that is what I liked about this game idea, it is extensible. I could later add more rules for more variety. for instance, I've not used the sigiles or the number enough. I was thinking about rules in the style of "same signes should be stacked" or "Cards above 5 must be covered".

But time in a jam is precious and the last hours was spent on making the animations and integrating the cool visuals made by Camille.
I could not add everything though. The game could have been prettier and more understandable. for one, I'de like to rewrite all the rules so the injunctions are consistants.

On a technical side, I'm so glad I've looked at butler for uploading the game to itch... it made the thing so easy! just a two line .bat and I could upload build on a steady rate. This helped me a lot to give testable version early. I think in preparation for the next jam, I might integrate it in unity.

Also, shape by Freya Holmer is really good.
