Pack Ripper

I feel like I'm massively missing something here.

Aside from unlocking packs, does gaining XP do anything? You never mention anywhere, if so. And if it only unlocks packs, what's the point of levelling beyond 3? What's the point of the bonus XP granted from the collection if XP serves no visible purpose?

I wasn't able to find any way to interact with a card after slabbing it. What's the point of increasing its sell value if you can't sell it? If there is some way unlocked later on down the line, why do you tutorialize a feature which is (apparently) worthless in the meanwhile?

It feels like the ROI on later packs just gets worse and worse and the consistent money is just opening boxes of the first pack, which seems silly? Nothing less encouraging than getting a new tier of pack, spending hundreds of dollars, and making $20 back.

Again, I feel like I'm just missing something here, but with my above issues, the game is adorable and interesting but it feels more like an idea than an actual game. Maybe you could spell out these systems a little more clearly for those as dense as myself?

Very fun so far, but I wish there was a way to turn off some of the upgrades from the shop. I keep accidentally grabbing cards in addition to the one I want. Also, it'd be helpful to see value for returned slab. Still, fun and cheaper than doing it IRL!

I opened the game, went to change the language and noticed that any click I do is detected as multiple clicks, something is wrong with mouse input detection. I tried with the game and it happens the same with every trackpad click.

I'm using a Macbook Pro M1 2020.

Just started, had to comment about how much fun I was having! Will comment to give a proper review after I have wasted a solid 4 hours ripping cards <3

**UPDATE** 

After completing about 99% ( I only have The Eclipse Sir Loin to find) of the game, I have a few thoughts:

1. The store needs more items- I found myself with over 1 million in the bank with nothing to really spend it on
2. Other commenters have mentioned this, but I would have liked some hotkeys when I opened the packs and got to the sell, table, binder, and grade page. If not just for accessibility but also to mitigate click-and-drag fatigue. ( Maybe this could even be an upgrade in the store?)

3. I love how smooth the animations are. The UI is balanced, and everything is easy to read and understand. I'd love the ability to check your basket without offloading half of it onto the table. Maybe that was there, and I didn't see it. Having to dump your basket onto the table to find one card that was accidentally placed in there was a hassle. (Let's be real, rookie mistakes on my part though, right?)

Overall, great game! I'd give it a 9/10! Can't wait to pick this up on Steam!

pretty fun! i just finished collecting every card in every variation!

Very fun Game, I really like it!

One Feature i could suggest is maybe adding misprints, that are worth less if you send them to a grader, but worth way more if you find a collector to sell it to!

I completed every card in every Version, very fun!

Super fun game with some great art! I agree with other commenters that dragging the cards to the shop is tedious and holding the button isn't much better when it pauses on cards I've pulled a ton of already. 

Wishlisted, will be playing more. Haven't completed all of my sets yet :)

SUPER satisfying game, took me 1h 48m to beat. But yeah as somebody said its difficult to take out specific card from da stack, had to throw it on the second edge of a table and then again on another if wanted to pick the most expensive one card :P but great game, big like from me :)

Cool one! I am weary of progression games as they are starting to be a bit dull and not that creative but you have a great theme and added nice touches with the mechanics like the pack opening. 

The dragging of the cards to the binder or shop feels tedious. As a player I am not sure, how far is enough for it to register and the card stays behind the cursor a little too long, it feels heavy and sluggish. I'd like it to be a bit more snappy and satisfying.

For the easy going gamer showing which foil you already own and disabling the ability to put an already owned one into the binder makes sense, but I see potential to nail down and evoke the actual feelings of this fantasy - creating a collection and gaining the knowledge about the cards and what you own. I know it would add friction but for me it would reinforce the fantasy a lot if there was no information whether you own the card or not, no support system. You would really have to become "the collector" to play optimally. And players could always put cards they are unsure about on the table.

The vibes and art is also great.

It would be funny if the cards had some actual mechanics to them, but you could never play them, and you would only have to imagine how this non-existing game is being played.

It's  good one, good luck with the development!

@edit
An idea came to mind (maybe it's already implemented, and I did not notice :p):

It would be cool if some cards had unique text, and if you noticed that and send them for evaluation, you could get 5x, 10x more cash. 

Right now the game shown me the mechanic of sending cards to evaluation but I did not understand through gameplay, when exactly would it be worth to do it. I just kind of forgot about that mechanic.

Loved the unique art style on this. Also i appreciate how we have more control over the movement of the cards and can even open them on the desk. Everything felt very fluid and smooth. 

I am not sure how the sweeping for picking up multiple packs works... I will hold one and hover over, slide past it, shake around it, nothing picks it up

loved the feel, and the art is super unique - ended up playing way longer than i thought i would...wishlisted!
