How does your game fit the theme?
The game is an unending night of playing cards in a creepy bar. If you win another guys joins in, if you lose, you drink and your vision blurs out, drink too much and you blackout, only to wake up again in the same bar.

"What? It's just a game of verses solitaire? I guess i'll play it for a bit. The art style seems nice. It is kinda relaxing... What? What do you mean I've been playing for 30 minutes straight?" Is my experience in short. Good job.

Developer

Thanks! Really happy to hear you liked it!

Super solid game. Well done. Mobile release soon?

Developer(+1)

Hey, It’s actually playable on mobile through the web version! I’m planing on polishing the game after the jam and maybe releasing it then!

Submitted(+1)

Really nice game, it took me a while for my reflex to be fast enough for the AI, but I ended up betting it a few times, It was fun :D 

Developer

Thanks! Glad you liike it :)

This was awesome and would love to try this in real life as a drinking game. Great work :)

Developer

Thanks! The game irl is a lot of fun too, but less chill haha

This is a really clever card game with great art. I didn't see much of the loop theme here, but it was a great game regardless. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! The loop comes from when you lose a game 3 times, you end up falling asleep due to your “consumption”, and then the loop happens and you have to wake the character up again, like when you launch the game. The fact is that the game is pretty easy and it’s hard not to win so yeah :/

would def not have minded an old fashioned to celebrate after my jam game instead of a coors light lmao

i won my first solitaire game but i couldn't continue for some reason after that : ( idk what happened, i clicked everywhere I could.

regarding the theme: yeah, I wish the card game being played had more of a "loop" thing going on with it. a variation on solitaire's fine, but i feel there could have been room to do something more tailored to the jam's theme. it was easy to figure out what was going on, but i def can see if some players are less familiar that they'd be more confused without a tutorial or something around those lines.

Developer

Oh it’s weird, I’ll make sure to look if I can fix that.

Yeah the loop happens when you lose 3 times and your character falls asleep and you have to wake him up again, back to the “beginning”. The fact is that the progression of difficulty is not flagrant so it looks like this is not a loop, but when waking up again the opponents are “slow” again. I plan on making the opponents more interesting tbh.

Hop you liked it tho! Thanks for playing :)

i am sucker for card games, and this one is very well made! i never lost so didn't get to see the dizzy animation, im just that good 8) maybe a tally for wins? a nice ego boost haha

Developer

Thanks! Yeah I think you’re that good haha To be honest I implemented a progressive difficulty boost as you win but had no time to test it at all, but I’m planning on making the AI better and more “realistic”. And for the tally yes it’s a great idea, It’s the first thing I want to implement after the jam, the ego boost is necessary haha

Loved the simplicity of this entry! A couple times the win condition seemed to trigger when we both had some cards left, but added to the sketchy bar feel haha

Developer(+1)

Thanks ! Oh yeah the totally not unknown win condition bug is clearly justified by the lore haha 😅 Glad to hear you played multiple games tho, really grateful !

Submitted(+1)

Ended up playing it more the i  would guess, really fun  gameplay with very nice art!

Developer

Thanks, glad you liked it !

Submitted

Fantastic entry for the Jam!

I like very chill games like that, the artwork and audio make an incredebly immersive effect! I could play the game for hours and hours, the only little deffect is that it feels like the theme was justified through lore rather than gameplay (which is playing solitary infinitely), which misses the point of the jam a bit, but it's still a very recomandable game.

Congratulation !

Cool game, i liked the art and once i got the hand of the card mechanics it was super fun, the reduced sanity side was a bit headache inducing but i'm guessing that was the intended effect

Developer(+1)

Thanks! you’re right it is headache inducing, I’ll try to find effects that won’t make the player feel it irl, could be better

Submitted(+1)

So neat! I really love what you did with this one. I had an issue where the cards glitch a bit when you pick them up but nothing critical. The pixel art and the card design are also really good, good job with the palette!

Developer(+1)

Thanks, glad you like it ! I think I forgot to put the credits to the cards assets, which are not mine, you just reminded me ! But they look real good, yeah, props to the artist nikoichu!

Submitted(+1)

Cool game, it's actually pretty addicting! The drunk effect is pretty funny lol it definitely made the game a bit harder. Good job!

Developer

Thank you! Yeah I like it too, wanted to add more variety but was short on time :)

Submitted(+1)

Very chill game. Was a little hard to read a few of the cards. I could see myself playing this at a bar. Thanks for making this :3

Developer(+1)

Thanks !

Submitted(+1)

I love the art, Please make a multi player version. Like 

Developer

Yeah it could be cool that’s true !

Submitted(+1)

Very good entry to the jam. Really nice presentation. Great work! :)

Developer

Thanks !

Submitted(+1)

This was so good. I love card games, and the vibe of this one was great! Played a few rounds and honestly, I would definitely play this if it was a full game. Great job!

Developer

Thanks ! I’m planning on polishing the game, maybe adding a few functionalities without changing the core gameplay so maybe in a few weeks !

Submitted(+1)

Love an Old Fashioned. Love a non-turned-based cards game. Love a creepy old pub.

Literally made for me.

5/5 across the board, amazing work! :)

(Would have liked more audio ambience/sound fx but eh)

Developer

Thanks, really glad to see that people like the game ! I’ll surely work on the game with more time to fit the “original vision”, and I’ll make sure to add more sfx and work on the ambience !

Submitted(+1)

Really fun little game! And it's got cool style. Great work!

Developer

Thanks !

Submitted(+1)

Once I realized it wasn't a turn based game, then I started winning more. The drunk effect made me a little sick in real life so I had to refresh the page to keep trying. The cards could do with being readable upside-down. But it was a frantic card game, I can see the potential of adding special cards or more pressure mechanics. Fun!

Developer

Glad you liked it! Yeah I would love to maybe continue and add differents effects with joker cards inspired by Balatro or events like Inscryption. I take notes on your feedback, thanks !
