only rank 9? Pretty inventive!

Really fun game, definetly something that can be expanded!

Also after a few rounds I want to skin that damn final boss alive and throw it in a salt flat.

Está a nivel del mismísimo Balatro

Pretty addictive loop, could definitely see it expanded with added characters, levels, etc. It does feel like the game idea is pretty well-baked. The presentation is great - art, audio on score, damage, etc.

I do feel that the score range on cards to play being a finite resource feels like a bit of a stretch - I wouldn't really think of blackjack as being a game of finite resources (at best I'd think of money as being the finite resource, but the analogy for this game would be hp).

Thank you, I am actually quite happy to continue it a bit to make it a real game.

For the limitation, I agree a bit. Our reference was "bag building / push your luck games".
You know all your resources, and you have limited used of them. I think when we added "shuffle to your deck directly after each round", we diluted the "limited" aspect.

fun and addictive game! more levels would be fantastic.

like one in the comments said, addictive game!. but it should be better to make a tutorial level before allowing the player to start the other levels...

The design and art style is so cool i love it!

It’s a fun game, though I think difficulty scales too high too fast. My second and third opponent could not score below a 7 and had the same amount of health as me, so on average are mathematically guaranteed to deal more to me than I can to them. I love the look, and I’d love to play more of it with some minor balance adjustments.

Hey, thank you for playing. 
The game is actually stacked on your favor... maybe the tutorialization was bad.
Did you try drawing (click your deck) and rerolling (select a card first)?

You can click the Rule book for more info

Submitted

I did not realize you could draw a card other than the two you get on a turn - that certainly may change things! Maybe I’ll give it another go

My skeleton is getting a lovely tan after fulfilling their gambling addiction, I could never.

(Absolutely gorgeous art style, when I saw this on the discord I went shittt, that's winning ain't it, only complaint is I wish there was a lovely song in the back kinda like Balatro)

Thank you for playing ! This game is a good candidate to get Balatrized
And tell that skeleton to wear sunscreen, the sun is no joke

This is great - the art, the game play, it all ties together so well.

Cool game with good visuals, although the difficulty could definitely be ramped up more. It was fun except that it was a little too easy

Developer

Thank you for playing!

Interesting, most people find it hard.
Could you share more info on why it was easy for you? maybe your build was strong (or maybe you are good at Blackjack thinking)

Submitted

I do play card games and blackjack so that's probably why, I basically just took as much damage increase upgrades as possible

Submitted

Yeeeey! My skeleton is on the beach now!

Love gambling.

There is also very high quality art!

Thanks!

Awesome game, really wanted to keep playing this no matter how many times i've lost. Last boss was unfair as the description says, but eventually the boss busted on me and i won.
