Creepy Crypt Critters

Simple, but it works. The music and the style set the mood, it's cool. However, I think that the boss should remember the patterns that we turn over rather than doing random, it would add difficulty and force the player's memory to work.
Nice job 👍

My only regret is letting the other guy score at all. Maybe I over estimated the bug eaters.

Very cool art style, I like games in this genre, and the idea of adding an AI that competes with you adds competitive spirit

It's a nice example of this genre of games. The music sets the mood nicely, and I like having the AI competitor!

Huh, never though a of a match-2 game with bugs. Cool twist!

cool artstyle! it really took my attention. good job! i like it very much

nice game! not a fan of genre, but it feels like a good touch on it.
there is a thing i didn't like at all: i was ice frozen in the end, and that, to be honest, is pretty cold!

The opponent was a nice touch, though the core gameplay being just Snap wasn't really my thing. I wasn't really a fan of the graphics personally, but the writing was quite fun!

I liked that fact that there was story and writing involved. Great game

A simple memory game, but with a nice touch with the PVE and animation and all. Does the opponent plays randomly?

I feel like the game idea is interesting, but it seems too simple. Game feels responsive and sounds are fitting. Nicely done tho!

The color palette here is *chef's kiss*, the clicking sound was very nice as was the music, and character design was really neat. My only complaint is there are two reds in the cards that I kept getting mixed up!

Enjoyed the game! Had a cool concept of a memory game with bugs. The game felt very polished, and I loved the little details, like the mouse hover effect on the cards or animations when pressing them. It made the game look and feel very good overall. Great job!

Great game, beautiful visuals, great music, great mood! I was trying my best not to get eaten because of how creepy the monsters were!

I liked the dialog mix with the matching pairs idea, seemed to work well. The computer opponent seemed to see and remember the cards I turned over on the previous turn quite well, not sure if coincidence or a clever computer opponent. Graphics and style was nice too, good stuff!

Awesome work! I played with my friend and he did a funny voiceover for Damien, it's fun and eazy to play. I like it!

Love how your reinvented this puzzle game, looks neat and has really a fun plot twist !!

Versus match 2 was a surprise. I loved the tutorial and difficulty progression. Congrats on your submission!

@soul-grinder Thanks a lot for the feedback ! Yes, the opponent has a remember feature, that behaves according to player actions as well as his own actions.

@elion haha, excellent, I can imagine the result ! 😁💖

great! a cute small memory game, with a spooky mood for this month! ^^

Cool art style great concept, great job the developers did an amazing job

Ah! fock me I almost beat the goblin in the last one! Rally fun, simple games like this are best! I really like de UX specially the animations of the buttons and the sound of click and hover itch my brain. Good work!

Cool artstyle, very nice for october

Very nice, loved the tutorial/progession. Everything felt very polished, good job!

非常棒的美术风格，创新型的将ai对战引入翻翻乐，非常有挑战性。不过ai的逻辑有点问题，似乎记不住他看过的牌。The artwork style is absolutely fantastic, innovatively introducing AI battles into the Flip and Match game, making it very challenging. However, there seems to be an issue with the AI's logic; it seems unable to remember the cards it has seen.

It's a great memorization game. I really liked the music and the drawing. way to go! I love this kind of game. I wish there were some different modes though, but for ludum the game is whole and cool!

@obi-w Hello Obi ! Thanks for the feedback. May I ask you a question ?

The AI has a remember feature for card identification, and the AI memory has a drop mechanism that erase some memory according to certain constraints. This has been tested and, normally, is working properly.

There's an AI feature which is not implemented yet, it's remembering which cards were played recently, and not playing them again if there's no existing pair. So, what could happen, is that the AI is playing 'stupidly' a card that was just played (full randomization, without exclusion of recently played cards). Is it the behavior you noticed ?

Thanks in advance !

Pfiou! I was not eaten by the beast. That was close.
I liked the fact that my "host" did some mistakes, even if this is a computer and computer don't do mistakes. The ambiance is very nice. I liked the environment you created around this well-known game.

simple but good! I love the artstyle, I ended up losing but thats just because I have a bad memory lol, the music is really good, sets the mood very well

very cool presentation of a memory game, nice job!

Pretty fun. Ramped up from trivial to challenging with a good curve. Nothing terribly new here, but the antagonism of the npc and the nice spooky vibes were good.

Cool style, nice twist

The enemy AI is the most compelling thing here. Felt like I was playing against someone with a better memory than me

He said he is going to keep me on ice; :snowflake:

Taking memory as a base for a game is pretty great.

I wish you would've explored some way to shake up the formula and introduce some kind of twist to the gameplay.
The idea to introduce some dialogue definitely has some potential!
Exploring this further with more characters, and 'enemies' talking to you during the game could be really fun.

Solid visuals and audio!

I liked the story and funny dialoges in the game. It gives the old memory trope a nice touch :)

@elzach Hi elZach, thanks for the feedback, I totally agree. Implementing gameplay variations was my intention but I couldn't go that far during the jam. I'm already working on a new version featuring gameplay variations, I'm really impatient to release it ! -before halloween, fingers crossed-

i think you did a great job for the amount of time given at this jam. the atmosphere it sets is great imo, i like the overall easthetic and it's vibes, tho i've never really been a big fan of memory games (goldfish attentionspan, oh well). good job!

E BoI!

SUCH a fun twist on a classic concept! WELL done and well executed!
