Just wanted to ask real quick. I really love the little animation it does when you hover over and off the card. Can you tell me how you did it so nicely? I just cant seem to figure it out
Sure, are you working with Godot?
The plain hover is just a tween that gets exceuted when the card, which has a matching control node of the same size, is hovered (control_gui_input). This would also work with an Area2D.
vice versa the exit animation is also just a tween:
There’s actually a litte bit more too it as the cards “hover-areas” overlap so there is a bit of logic that handles that but the animation is just that simple.
I tend to create every animation with tweens as they are so versatile. The number counting in the UI, most movement and even parameterized shaders (like the background or the card flip) are created useing tweens.
If you want to dig deeper into the code base feel free to look at the repository I created for the jam: https://github.com/JBartscher/MiniBeansJam10/blob/813ec28b7f1d1b80b5c6e983e34625af1e67da0a/Game/GameObjects/Card/card.gd#L130
If you have any code related questions hit me up on the BeansJam Discord :)
Dman Thanks a lot! I tried using tweens and even did the TRANS_ELASITC one but it didnt come to my mind that i could also use the set_ease in the same line (or any lines below it). Thanks a ton for the detailed answer!
What an ambitious project! I can certainly see the appeal of a deck builder and I'd love to see what this concept will look like once it's a bit more worked out. I did end up breaking the game when I ran out of cards but couldn't end my turn. I also wasn't quite sure when my turn ended or began again so having a bit more instructions and cues would be nice.
🎯 Introduction
Let me start by saying — this is going to be a realistic review. That doesn’t mean I’m your hater or wish you bad things — quite the opposite. I genuinely wish you growth and success. You made this game in just two days — that’s impressive, dude! Keep making games!
🎮 Gameplay
I didn’t fully understand how to play. When I placed cards in the “Play” zone and clicked it, I received cards in my hand — but I couldn’t figure out why or how that worked. Also, after each shop phase, I was only allowed to play one card. Why that one in particular? I couldn’t understand the logic.
🎨 Visual Style
The background is a spinning spiral, and after a while, it started hurting my eyes. It became unpleasant to stay in the game for long. Since this game is about "sell → buy", such a background doesn’t feel like a good design choice. It distracts from the gameplay and worsens the experience.
🚀 Overall Impression
As a two-day jam project — this is honestly impressive. It would be great to:
make the card text more clear,
experiment with fonts,
improve the background,
and add a tutorial.
That alone would already make it a very promising prototype. I wish you success in your journey, the strength to overcome obstacles, and most importantly — don’t give up!
P.S.
Yes, I translated my review into English using GPT. I hope it conveys all the positive and realistic meanings I intended
Good luck!
Approach des Themas ist gut.
Schade das es keine Sounds gibt
Der Background ist aber echt nice
Schade das man das game immer ganz neustarten muss
Glaube das es auch noch ein paar Bugs gibt. Hatte so 200 Karten auf der Hand
Definitiv merkt man das du alleine gestruggelt hast aber trotzdem was auf die beine gestellt also Respekt!
Super lieb danke dir. Hab heute eine Version hochgeladen wie es zur Deadline sein sollte. Die ist etwas weniger Buggy :D
Hier muss ich vorweg sagen..ich bin kein Deckbuilder Spieler. Ich habe es versucht zu spielen. Ich bin auch realtiv weit gegekommen (Runde 21), aber es catched mich nicht, die Schrift auf den Karten ist anstregend zu lesen und leider konnte ich nicht den gesamten Bildschirm sehen. Ich finde es dennoch erstaunlich, was man in 2 Tagen alles createn kann und ziehe meinen imaginären Hut vor dir. Ich finde die Idee, daraus ein Deckbuilder zu machen wirklich gut!
Vielen lieben Dank. Die hochgeladene Version war leider seeehr verbuggt. Ich hab heute eine etwas verbesserte Version hochgeladen. Ich weiß der Core-Gameplay Loop ist noch etwas lame aber ich freu mich das es jetzt so einigermaßen funktioniert:D
i like the concept, i actually think it could make for a really fun roguelite! the theme was on point 200%
i was a little confused by how the game was played though, at some point i ended up with so many cards in my hand that i couldn't really decide which one to play, it was just too much
the drawings on the cards where really nice!
Hey thank you very much! Yeah the Version which I initaly uploaded IS very bug ridden and duplicates cardss. I uploaded a newer Version which is a little bit cleaner :D
I really like your idea but I wish I could see everything from the screen xD Good work for a single dev in 2 days!
I wish the cards were a little bigger on screen as I couln't read them very well. XD
But I liked the idea and the grafics were really cool!
Nice work dude, congrats on finishing this in two days work as a single dev
