if you want to build a smooth, responsive, visually interesting, non‑janky card interface for your game please do it like this for your own sanity 🧵(i'm using godot, but these recommendations are framework agnostic)

Öoo is a master class in puzzle design.
That 71% of its players make it to the very end is a sign of how good it is, because it is not that easy.
There is no separate hint system, instead the game itself is one big hint system. Very clever.

Crossing the finish line is all that matters, regardless of what happens afterwards.
Our new Next Fest players are taking Pulse to the next level. This run by Cernel Josen has a few mind-bending maneuvers and a fantastic finish 🤯

... and it was my son who figured that out. I chose a different route before. So he's the clever one.
The gold medal Pulse run yesterday (by @richardboeser.bsky.social) has a rare instance of going back up after going down a level. Very clever!

Pulse's daily challenge consist of a different selection of checkpoints every day. Players need to figure out what is the fastest route.
Yesterday's run was fast and fun.

Adding this to the game really helped with making sure I spend more time playing our game than working on its development.
Luckily @ajkolenc.bsky.social is hooked too, so I don't feel too guilty.

In Axe Ghost you cleverly push monsters around a grid and blow them up in turn-based spatial combat. Take on the Daily Challenge and face off against the loathsome Garnemar!
