How does your game fit the theme?
We're a bunch of dads who have been playing heaps of Go Fish! With our kids lately. So we thought why don't we make a roguelike deckbuilder version of it?
What could go wrong?

Very cool game and idea! The possibilities of combos seems really open ended and cool!
Thanks for checking it out!
This game feels like another spin on the generic 'number go up' genre. It's an already existing game where multipliers were added for a number without meaning. Don't get me wrong, the game feel is really good but it's so unoriginal. And it doesn't have anything to do with the theme. It feels like the game was already made and you just wanted to add it to a big game jam :\
Ah man sorry it didn't hit for you, thank you for checking it out though!
The game was pretty fun and the art is good. I don't really see how the game fits the theme though, unless it's the idea of getting cards outside of the box.
Thanks for giving it a go! The "outside the box" angle for us was mashing Go Fish into a roguelike economy/combo system 😅 We really like the way that roguelike deckbuilders make it feel like you are breaking the game by changing the rules, so we really focused on that. Might be a stretch, but glad you enjoyed it!
This game was a lot of fun! I like that it was a spin on a classic game. Also, the audio design and artwork of the game was very well executed. Overall, it made for a very enjoyable gameplay experience!
Really appreciate you playing it - glad the twist landed for you!
This game is so polish, fun and creative! I used to play a similar game with my dad when I was young so this brought back a lot of memories. I hope you move up to the next round of voting. Awesome work!.
That’s awesome - love that it hit that nostalgia. Thanks for playing!
This was a fun game! I enjoy go fish and it's been a long time since I've played it so this was nice!
The best game of the jam. Congratulations on making this one.
It's very engaging, the graphics, the audio.
I did get softlocked (unless there's a way out?) where I had no cards but needed to ask an opponent for a card.
Nonetheless, a brilliant game, everything was very clear, and it really feels like you understand game design.
5 stars across the board.
Wow, that's very kind - thanks!
And yeah, that does sound like a softlock. Appreciate you flagging it, we're looking into it.
This was very fun to play!! Only thing to note really was that the purge special card softlocks the game? Not sure why, but other then that I had a blast!!
Crazy polished game and quite addicting loop!!!
Good game
Solid game, can definitely see the inspirations for it. I liked the variety in the tackles and the action cards. Also liked that there is a dropdown for the game log, since it goes pretty quickly. Got as far as I could but ran into an issue where there were to cards left in the ocean, but it wouldn't let me select any of them. They wouldn't even highlight.
Pretty interesting game though, even if I was bad at it.
This is a very creative idea that is also really fun, I really like the item and card variety and the roguelike elements in general, they're well done. There's not a lot of game feel and it's not always clear what is happening and who got which cards, the indicator at the corner isn't that noticeable and sometimes changes too fast.
Great game, very fun, keep it up!
This was a really fun game. I liked how you made go fish into a more serious game. The art and sounds were good too. If you would like, please try out my game next!
You can never go wrong with Go Fish, in my opinion! Absolutely recommended! 🎣
I love the slay the sprite feel mixed with Balatro, super fun game and the art is very good too! I feel like the only few things I would say is that the actual game play is pretty chunky, I feel like there are a bit of buttons that you don't have a choice but to click that slow the game down, I sort of understand why though. Even still I had a lot of fun with the game!
Thanks so much for playing it, as well as the feedback! It was tough to get a full UX pass in the limited time! But will write it down if we ever open up dev on FTF again :D
The art and game feel is really amazing. Very clean game. Goodluck with the jam!
Thanks so much! The artist really cooked on the Sponge Bob inspired-ness of the game.
It seems pretty good. The audio loops pretty quickly, but it isnt terrible. My biggest gripe is just that it doesnt feel like it fits the theme that well. it still feels like a great game. Hope you win!
Thanks so much for the review! We thought making a very simple kids game into a complex strategy roguelike was a bit outside the box, but definitely understand the criticism! Good luck to you as well :D
