comments for Soulstack

I really enjoy this, but I wish it had a function to lock stack placement because everything shifting is driving me nuts

the text is a bit blurry makes it hard to read

This game has a ton of potential. I dig the unique card interaction method, and am looking forward to more coming out.

Partially reminds me of Stacklands.
Although usage of ai, game is still pretty cool, and the gameplay is kind of smooth. 4/5
(Btw is the menu page animation useless or?)

finally a solitaire that fights you back

The stacks flinging around constantly is really annoying, and the placeholder for items you dont have copies of getting moved out from under the stack of items is not only really annoying but is incredibly bizarre and stupid. Why even allow us to pick up and place stuff if its just going to get moved by the game existing to its own devices?

stacks moving around all over the place is annoying

and also the text really needs scaling for some things. Otherwise, good game and potential is there.

I've only go one real complaint and that's my stacks getting tossed around by other stacks. Maybe some way to tell my companion to not spam out one of the resource makers would be nice.

Stack movement is not an issue any longer, thanks to an update that addressed the issue in my opinion perfectly.

Very interesting for now, but I hope to get more content soon :)

Had a lot of fun with this. Very simple yet satisfying basic mechanic that lends itself to the whole game. I enjoyed exploring the crafting table and it's fun to visualize how some weapons will clearly be dead ends before you craft them. I think the dead end sorting feature is great but kind of encourages the player not to craft new weapons. I think it'd be a neat unlockable feature rather than given at the start.

A couple comments:
Early travelers shouldn't ask for mage weapons. You get them quite a bit deeper down progression unless you're really lucky with ore veins. On that note, I feel like Arcanite should be a little less rare with how many mage weapons you can craft (with less xp as well). Of course, it's way easier to get it from the graveyard, though that's also deeper down progression. On that note as well, it should be made clearly known to the player that they can decraft weapons at the craftsman, which is basically the best way to get Arcanite late game.
I love the crafting system but I feel as though you'll be setting yourself and the player up for a hassle come Tier 3. It'll be even more complex than Tier 2 was even if you only take the good weapons (36 vs 21). I think either the mechanic has to be changed a little in future tiers or Tier 3 should have less good weapons.
In preparation for higher tiers, I think you should also consider how to make crafting a bit easier in bulk amounts. I'd recommend allowing the player to craft multiple weapons at once and being able to sort the crafting menu by new craftable weapons and their requirements. This is helped a little bit by graveyard giving so many weapons.
Some bugs:
Sometimes cards will generate a duplicate empty stack that's impossible to remove. It clutters the board and of completing the game I have an empty duplicated stack of fiber, meat, and berries.
You can make it impossible to complete the devotion achievement if you sacrifice too many high XP cards. Mine ends on 199/200.

ehh.. the craftsman just eats your item if you drag another weapon on him to work on while he's working on one?

aaaand there's why i don't like ai generated games.

your generative ai disclaimer struck me as something i would say "i used AI to help with code and this and that" but i would never... EVER ship a game without testing for things like that. not in a million years.
