Very nice game. Very slay-the-spire/creature combat. I like that all the rules are on the cards.

The Wind-down canteenVery fun! I went with an all offense strategy with allies and it worked for a while, but eventually the lack of ability to choose which enemy to attack got me. Good job!

BobbyTheCheetahIncredibly creative game! The card mechanics and stair-descent concept are brilliant, especially for a solo project. A tiny bit more background detail on the stairs would be neat, but overall, it’s ridiculously addictive. You can play this for hours!

Mission Failed... SuccessfullyVery fun game, well done !
Its very polished and the gameplay is great and enjoyable. It haspotential to be a full game, i ussually now give suggestions and feedback, but this game is awesome, i dont know what to say XD. It even has a leaderboard. I will return here after jam finishes to play more. Maybe you can make a background, but its great as it is. Congrats !
Also, you can try my game if you want, it just takes 5 minutes ;)

Just 5 Minutesthe creativity is amazing and i love the idea of the cards and the decending down the stairs. it is realy inpressive work all by yourself. mabye you could have add a bit more background of the stairs but that is just a tiny detail. I love this game! you could play it for hours and hours and hours. I's so addicting!
Nice polish overall. The little animations and sounds make a big difference. How did you manage to do this in such a short time? Good job!

Picture DayI'm really bad at building decks, apparently. I'm seriously in love with this game, though! Great rating all around, and your game is now saved on my otherwise empty page xD
play the game I helped on! /jam/gmtk-jam-2026/rate/4823513
I was really impressed with how far these card mechanics went. Creating my deck and getting my team of little guys out onto the field was always satisfying. The whole experience felt quite polished with stand-out visuals and sound. Just a nice "cozy" vibe all around. Big fan of this one!

WELL PLAYEDReally nice interpretation of the theme, I liked really like the art style and sound effects. I wish that there was more added to the turn based combat.

Money Buys FreedomThis was really excellent! I'm seriously impressed by bringing turn-based card combat like slay the spire out in a game jam, and I especially love how your simple system here provides a surprising amount of depth. If you put this on steam I'd 1000% buy it - especially for your character art, which has its own brand of delightfulness. Nicely done!

Cut the FloofThis is a really awesome game, well done. The mechanics are clear and the game works well.
It could definitely benefit from some UI tweaks, the card text is very small and the HP numbers were sometimes hard to read with the colour of background. That said it was very enjoyable and I played many floors before stopping to write this and I will be playing it again. It needs a good amount of polish but there is clearly something very playable here.
