Learning curve... have patience!

Good time waster. Nice graphics. Good story.

How about a better tutorial?

Have no idea what you’re even supposed to be doing or what the goal of the game is.

Jolly good! More please!

If you enjoy matching games that have depth to them, do yourself a favor and get this game.

Dev,

For the record, I also would have paid more for your game. If you are planning on releasing additional levels, feel free to personally charge me a few bucks. I’d prefer to get to play more great games without ads and p2p nonsense.

My only real issues are that I wish that I could backtrack on accidental moves. It would also be nice to be able to backtrack and play the other levels on the paths too.

If anyone is looking for a similar game that has just as much depth, check out Shift Shaft. It might look unassuming, but it is just as good as StarBeard.

Worth every penny!

Smart and stylish roguelite!

Starts easy, gets hard enough to make you think and plan well without being unfair. No ads, cash shop, energy system, or other nonsense. Looking forward to more from Jolly Good Games (and willing to pay more!).
