Not a fan of poker (I don't hate it but I haven't gotten into it either) and I don't know how to play it, but the gameplay was really . . . relaxing?
The monotony of dealing the cards and helping your friend was very calming. I like the atmosphere even if it was nothing special.
Cool game
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it even if you don't like poker :)
I like poker and it was quite an interesting game for me. To play the role of a dealer, but sometimes it was difficult to remember which cards and to whom I give, but it was fun =)
Thanks ! Yeah we like to make some challenging games :)
Pretty cool game. I liked the sfx and music. The visuals were pretty nice too!
Thanks !
Neat game! Good idea and well executed.
Thank you !
The mechanics in your game are innovative and unique! They contain simple actions but can cause different consequences—quite enjoyable!
I can also imagine you adding more features to create deeper strategies in the game.
Yeah totally thinking about adding some more mechanics in case we make a full version. Thanks foryour feedback :)
That was very fun and unique! I really like the perspective of the game how you are the dealer and you have to cheat without being too suspicious. The cards up the sleeve was also a really nice touch. Would love to see this game expanded in the future!
Thanks a lot for your feedback, we are gald you liked the game and would love to release a full version since we got a lot of feedback :)
That is so cool that you recreated poker in a game! I can kinda see where the theme makes sense, but i'd say it just feels like poker lol. I love the audio and mood you created
Yeah i can see your point, our goal was to make sure nothing go wrong for your accomplice. Thankd for playing it !
Very fun! Probably played it longer than most other submissions. But i also love poker. Wasnt quite sure what made suspicion go up or down. Almost seemed random but I really enjoyed this. You should make a complete game outta this idea and release on steam. Or mobile!
Hey, yeah sorry it wasn't very clear, your suspicion go up when you take card from your sleeves and down when you play the deck card. Glad you like and we are currently thinking about making a final version for the game since we got a lot of feedbacks
This was such an interesting twist on poker! I would love a full expanded game of this!
Thansk a lot, with all the feedbacks we are currently thinking about making a full version of it :)
I absolutely love this game idea. Such a simple idea, and had so much fun. Always wanted to be a rounders type, counting cards, etc. and this game made me feel like I was. For a brief moment, I was running a table. Awesome idea, super fun.
It was exacly the goal of the game, glad you feel like it. Thanks a lot for your feedback !
I'm not a great Poker player but I played "Balatro" a lot which is a game inspired by poker. I love the idea of trying to cheat at poker game by having to remember the card. My personal memory capacity is a total failure but I won some tokens! I'll show it to a friend tomorrow that is a big poker fan :) Congrats, keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot, it's already a good start to win some rounds. Not so easy for evryone. It mean a lot that you share it, tank you :)
Really cool fun game, but maybe a bit too long. Also I got my guy a straight flush.
Oo, lucky accomplice to have you in his team. Yeah since it was for the jam we didn't have time to integrate much more mechanic to make it feel less longer. But glad you liked it !
Fun game! Would have liked more "cheat" mechanics, but overall a great job!
Thanks, yes we would like to add new mechanics in a more final version after the end of the game jam
Lucky for me, I played Balatro recently so I wasn't so lost with the poker rules haha. Great game, it was a good mix of RNG and strategy and felt very polished.
Thanks a lot, glad you like it. Definitly help to play balatro before (btw your game was a lot of fun, the concpet was neat
Great idea for a game! Really fun experience.
...
Sadly not for my accomplice, because I was more helping person to the left than him...
Ahah fortunately he doesn't hold grudges.
At first I didn't understand, but then I understood and I liked it!
Ahah glad you let the game a chance, we would like to upgrade the tutorial to make it clearer for new player !
Good card game, I was pleasantly surprised, congratulations
Thanks a lot !
Really cool game! The art and UI is super cool! But sadly i'm terrible abou gambling card games (i can only play solitaire card games haha). Awesome work! Even me that don't know about this kinda of game can see it was well programed!
Ahah yeah without playing poker the gmae is a bit hard, Thanks glad you liked the art :)
It seemed a bit confusing when reading the tutorial, but when I started playing it was a very organic and understandable gameplay. Very nice game, love the theme!
Yeah the tutorial was made at the end of the jam so not the best but glad you could have fun !
This was a very interesting take on the theme! It took a little while to get used to but once I got the hang of things I found it quite fun to try and strategise while keeping what I had dealt in my head. Unfortunately it froze for me a couple times before dealing the table cards which was a little annoying, but I still enjoyed it a lot regardless.
Tahnk you so much, this mean a lot. We just realease a little fix to resolve this issue, sorry you had to encounter it.
No worries, it was still really fun. I think it’s a good indicator that you’ve got a good concept and game loop when the player can overlook some bugs and still have a good time.
