How does the game fit the theme?
In this game, you assume identities and make moves to seduce your dates into paying for your dinner. You are the suspicious one here!
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

Very fun setting for a card game! I wasn't entirely sure what everything did, but I loved the quips and quotes, and can imagine this turning into a fully fledged game with additional cards, mechanics and dates!
I'm always a sucker for deckbuilders, and paired with this setting, it feels super fresh! I would have loved to craft some heavier combo synergies, but since it wraps up after three dates anyway, it makes for the perfect appetizer. Really well done!
Possibly the cutest game in the game jam. I loved the art and the concept. Very addictive gameplay too! Great work!
Super cute game, loved it.
Nice dude. It is awesome, the difficulty ramps up pretty fast. And also it would be fine to differentiate the individual cards with different images, if they have different uses. Otherwise, it was really fun and interesting concept. I really enjoyed it. Btw is it possible to beat the bird enemy? I must try harder XD.
A very creative, cute, and genuinely fun game. I really love the atmosphere and the overall feeling it gives me. The combination of card-based gameplay and the bill/payment system is designed in a really interesting way, and I ended up playing for much longer than I expected without even realizing it.
As a Slay the Spire player myself, this game gives me a somewhat similar kind of experience, which is something I really enjoy.
I loved the vibe and theme but the gameplay was a bit confusing I didnt quite understand whta happening. good job<3

Very cool game, fantastic art and idea. A bit easy but great game nonetheless
Really underrated game! Loved the concept and visuals! :))
This game is so cute there was another game that had to do with dating I kind of just love the vibes lol. The card game mixup is great too! Good job :)
Show Me Your Hand is a really clever and funny interpretation of a card-game loop. Turning the bill into a health bar and Block into a form of defense makes the gameplay immediately distinct, and I enjoyed building Charm while trying to survive each increasingly absurd date.
The characters, dialogue quotes, card art, and small animations work very well together. I especially liked how the static character art still feels dynamic through the little movement, shadows, and expressive reactions. The different identities and status effects also make the deckbuilding choices interesting.
I only have a few small clarity suggestions: highlighting terms such as Charm, Gaslight, and Block directly on the cards, with a hover tooltip, would make the first playthrough easier to understand. It would also be nice if card values visibly updated when Charm changes them, and if the final stats screen had a clear Main Menu or Play Again button. The music is good too; a slightly lower starting volume would make the opening more comfortable.
Overall, this is an awesome submission with a very original concept and a strong visual identity. Great work!
HELLO thank you so much for your review and your video!! there is so much good feedback both in what you've outlined here and through verbalizing your thought process while playing the game!! i agree w all your points, especially needing a way to highlight the terms on the card (i was going to do something similar to slay the spire but ran out of time). i really appreciate your time and i'm glad u enjoyed it.
Beautiful and cleverly designed game that is fun to play, built right on the theme and is a full and complete experience, even with a story inside! That is actually a very rare find!
It’s a shame you have so few rates, your game deserves better!
The only thing I can critique is the lack of ability to play the game in a full screen mode on the web as when you pressing the full screen mode button the canvas does not resize along with the container and the text are a bit to small to be read them comfortable.
hey!! thank you so much for playing and for your kind words about my game; really appreciate it, esp coming from the dev behind late night pawn shop (such an insane atmosphere and hypnotic gameplay)!! i definitely need to fix the full screen issue and only noticed it after the bug fix period ended somehow. additionally, thank you so much for shouting out my game in your description!! means so so much :)
ナイスゲーム デート相手は特製のデッキでボコボコにするに限るlol
ありがとう！
Great cozy deck builder! The personas and card rewards make it so you have a lot ways to play. Surprisingly deep even though there are that many cards to choose from :O.
On improvement I would end the turn automatically once energy runs out. Unless I missed a regain energy card and mechanic to play more than 3 cards per turn. But if you make a regain energy to card leave it as it is.
There is so much potential here so I would love to see endless mode, more cards and dates. Looking forward to if you continue this project!
thank you for playing!! you're completely right that i should definitely add that for quality of life. thank you again!!
Great fun, VERY appealing package well put together! Played on stream with comments. Thanks!
hi thank you SO MUCH FOR PLAYING! i didn’t have playtesters that came in completely cold when i was developing the game, so watching you play has really helped me identify my own blind spots in development. a few things i didn’t communicate super clearly: when you choose an identity and the character likes it, you get an increase in stats for all your cards. charm is basically like your attack for the game, so a larger charm increases the damage of the cards. def need to do some cleaning up on my post jam release. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PLAYING AGAIN I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!! it’s been really valuable for me and i’m sure it has been for all the other devs as well :-)
This is an game with huge potential, I love the art and the concept of battling your date to reduce the bill. Only problem is I kept being accused of being avoidant and getting money added to my bill, also I wasn't sure how many cards I was allowed to play each turn. But overall great game well done!
hi and thank you for playing!!! regrettably ran out of time for a tutorial, but the main mechanic of the game was that your date tries to add money to your bill and you play cards to reduce it. the cards per turn depended on how much energy each card you use takes. i'll definitely clarify all of this when i do my post jam tune up. thank you again!
good card game but I dont get it and the visuals are awsome
hi thanks for playing. i realized i uploaded an incomplete build last time, and this build has a little more "how to play" context + fixed some missing tooltips if you wanted to try it out again
