Nope - I've completed at least one game jam before.
How does your game fit the theme?
Just Get Decked fits the theme "Just Get Started" by letting you jump in with just a few simple cards. The game unfolds as you play, revealing elemental synergies, card upgrades, and new enemies along the way. Each run starts small and grows into powerful elemental combos. Win or lose, you learn by doing and letting your deck carry the fight.

The game has a good concept, an auto-battler with cards. Simple and can be fun... but it needs refinement. The presentation is pretty good, the UI is clean, the backgrounds are pretty, the cards have animations that are impresive, like the rotation they do when killed I liked that, but playing feels rough around the edges.
I was feeling really lost while playing because of what another comment pointed out, the loosing spiral, and the problems with the mixing and music and voices over-lapping. With the voices is hard to figure who is saying what and why they are saying something because they are talking one over another, is weird and confusing.
Also sometimes the shop after a fight is empty. One time I lost a battle, had 2 coins left and the shop was empty thus I got softlocked.
Then again, the concept is good, the presentation is good, but refinement is what this game needs.
Thanks for playing and reporting the empty shop bug. I’ll add it to the list of things to fix post jam. I do get you though, as the game could’ve been really fun if those bugs had been sorted out. That said, we did underestimate the development timeline, so the current incomplete state does make sense. 😅
I agree with other commenters - i like the concept, but feel further refinement is necessary to unlock its full potential. But for the jam its a fun experience.
One thing i'd consider is the balance of the loosing spiral, if the player has no/next to no coins left and losses a battle, he wont earn coin, hence is deck will be even weaker - rinse and repeat. If this is intended - cool, otherwise a cool comeback mechanic would be nice.
Great job finishing the jam!
Hey thanks for the feedback! I do agree that a bit more work is remaining here.
Thanks for pointing out the losing spiral, it’s a valid point. A mechanic to turn the tables would be nice indeed. I’ll look into it. ))
Good concept, obviously need more polishing but you are on the right track
Oh and I would love to hear what you think of my game as well if you have the chance
Thanks for playing! I’ll definitely give your game a try as well ))
enjoyed that a big fan of card games personally so was neat to see one. i will say the ordering was little wonky for me but overall pretty clean. enjoyed the voice lines too seemed to fit the vibe perfectly
Glad you liked it! I do agree the cards could be a bit more polished. Right now, they’re randomized by levels, so it can feel a little off sometimes depending on RNG, but that’s where it can be fun too ))
I like the idea of the game. Is kinda like super auto pets but there wasn't really alot to strategize with, alot of it comes down to do I think the first enemy will be low health high attack or actually have health
Yes, like Super Auto Pets, we had more elements planned with assets already done, like dodge, shield, etc., depending on element compatibility, and even boss levels. I guess, showing the next enemies in lobby would’ve been better.. so you could place say high ATK low DEF enemies first to chip down health? Well, thanks for the playing!
Great job on this one, I won't lie the voice acting was a little rough, but the game was still fun, the art and music were both very good as well. Hope you make this into a full-fledged game!
Not sure about a full release at this point but we really do hope to put a more finished version post jam, without the issues. Hope you had fun, and thanks for playing!
Fun: I like strategy games, and this game nailed it, it gave a goal, trying to reach level 25, a good strategy trying to save your money and choose a good order for the cards, I only played like 20 games or so but tell now this is the most fun one for me, I might play it again.
Presentation: I like the design of the cards, the sound effects were good, the voice acting was a bit annoying, but tbh it gave the cards a lot of personality, I like it
Creative: simple, health and attack, didn't give abilities or some complicated, I didn't feel like it fit the theme perfectly though
Overall, one of my favorites so far, great job
Thanks for the high praise! It’s good to hear from a strategy lover that the game did well on that front and was really fun to play.
We did mess up with the great VO with last minute implementation unfortunately ((
We also had a lot more planned on the content and even halfway done with those assets, but alas, we did underestimate the timeline to get those integrated.
Thanks again for playing!!
I would love for you to try my game and rate it, I'm sure you're gonna like it 😁
Definitely! I started with the web based games first. Will try the windows versions next.
Good job! This game has huge potential.
Thanks. Glad you think so!!
The artstyle is 100/10, the game looks simply beautiful. Only thing the voices really creeped me out because its hard to distinguish what they are saying and sometimes two voice lines are overlaying
Really glad you like the art style! We did mess up on the otherwise great voiceovers with last minute implementation, overlaps and out of sync issues. That said, we do plan to do a post jam fix for it ))
Great game! It was actually pretty fun to play even though I'm not that stoked on card games! It has a cool concept and is actually challenging. Even though the mentioned bugs are there (specially the overlapping voices that take out much of the music enjoyment for music enjoyers) it was pretty good overall! Good job!
Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed the game so much!! P.S. As a fellow music lover, I totally get you, but time and deadline waits for none ((
Cool idea! It took me a moment to get a hang of it, but managed to get through it in the end. The challenge was nice, though it depended a lot on rng. Fun idea with the cards talking back to you, though the repetitive overlapping voices was a little much after a while. Art and vibe was really nice!
Congratulations on finishing! RNG can make or break a run, which is why we added the reroll button for situations like that. As for the voiceovers, we actually have quite a few more recorded, but we didn’t have enough time to implement all of them. That said, I totally agree that they add a lot of fun!
I love the idea ! I’m not really good i think, but I still enjoyed the visuals and the unique cards.
Fights were a bit hard to understand, at first, and like others said, when the voices overlap its hard to focus on whats being said (but impressive range of voices !!)
The game page on itch is really tasty, and loved how cute some cards were !
Nice work!!!
Thanks! Glad you liked the visuals, cards, voiceovers and the sweet/salty (?) itch page.
The fights depend actually on the elements and their synergies with each other - some elements are weak or strong against others. That said, I do agree on the overlapping voices as we weren’t able to sync them in time :(
Really cool concept, the Voice over was nice but a little jarring
Enjoyed playing it tough well done on finishing it!
thanks! we do need to work on the syncing between the elements to make them less jarring.
Nice concept. I like the idea of the creative voice over comments, though I felt like they clashed with each other or with the music at times which made them hard to understand. Overall good job
yeah, unfortunately we ran out of time trying to sync the music and voiceovers with the actual gameplay, so they do overlap. thanks for playing ))
