Like the art and the concept is pretty unique! I don't know if there is a way to zoom in on the cards but I couldn't read what they did and just stacked as many as I could onto my character.

I love the art and the gameplay loop of this one! Took me a while to figure out how to attach cards to my hero, seems like it's based off of the card's location on the screen versus the cursor. It's fun and this is definitely a unique submission to the jam, good stuff!

Thx. Will Work on it further :D

Becomes pretty easy once you understand the mechanics, but trust me when i say that I understand balancing really was difficult with the given deadline; could definetely be a pretty fun, unique strategy game if expanded upon, congrats!
Slime boss stood no chance agaisnt me

Developer

Thx. Yes balancing ia hard in this short time. There originally also were more cards but i need to cut them down because of lack of time 😅

Submitted

I feel you, my submission was supposed to feature much, much more content. Would be glad if you checked it out!

Submitted

Pretty fun! Had good strategy elements to it.

Submitted

Very unique, I don't think I've seen another submission like this. Very much enjoyed the artwork! A neat addition might be to have more enemy types as the rounds go on!

Developer

Yeah thats would be nice thats true. But after programming the Card system there was a Lack of time and i needed some sleep 😅

Submitted

Cool card mechanic! Havent seen a load of card games in this jam so awesome work! :)

Developer

Thx :)

Submitted

Nice entry! Feels like a interesting take on the genre! 

Submitted

I love auto-battlers! I found it fun and really liked the card mechanic. The only issue was that the text got cut off at the bottom, making me scroll to read it. Still, congrats — it’s a really cool game, even if the boss is super hard compared to the rest haha!

If you have a moment, I’d love if you could check out mine too! Play it here: https://kaijota.itch.io/graverun

It took me a little while to understand all the different card mechanics, which is good!

Really fun concept and it's a good base line to add more game mechanics and layers of complexity.  I hope you make it into a fully fleshed out game!

I enjoyed playing :)

Developer

Nice to hear. I will definitely will make it better and bigger :)

Submitted

Neat concept and good use of the theme. Would really like to see this expanded with more cards, enemies and some music one day! Good job

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the comment :) yes me too Hope i can start soon with this project again. Allready writing down more cards 😁

Submitted

Cool concept, visuals were great, would love to see this fleshed out more

Developer

Thx. Be prepared it will come i allready make me notes for the future :)

Submitted

AMAZING VISUALS and really interesting and fun gameplay where you have to collect and fight to get to the final boss :D

Submitted

Really neat concept does need some onboarding as i was pretty confused until i read the description but overall pretty cool!

Developer

Thx. Yeah there was No Time for some easy in Game Tutorial ;)

Submitted

Great game! 

Developer

Thanks :)

Submitted

Fun game! I did struggle to read the cards, even with it on full-screen. I'm not sure if I missed it, but you could also explain how the run ends if you lose at a boss. Well done!

Developer

Yeah i know. Me too. But i will fix this and many other Things when i make it bigger 😁

Submitted

hey this is awesome!! 

Developer

thx :)

Submitted

This was really fun to play!! was very immersed 

Developer

that's nice to hear :D

Submitted

This is a very cool idea, I would definitely like to see more of this. I do feel like fighting enemies becomes a bit pointless once you level up a hero and resurrect them once, so you end up just spam clicking for gold and loot until the boss. It'd also be nice to have more information on heroes in the graveyard. I figure some of this would be fixed in a full version of the game though.

Developer

Thanks. :) yeah this is caused because of the outrunning time in the Jam 😅 i needed to break many things down. Buti will definitely fix this Things after the Jam and add more content etc. ;)
