Great unique style! I expected maybe easier game but I got deserved lost. Some interesting mechanics and puts wonder how much this could be stretched to something bigger...

i am glad you liked it. We have plans to extend this game after the gamejam.

The art for this game is amazing, and the mechanics are really fun! It was fun to try and decide what card to play, and to try and win or loose the round. However, every time I played the game it crashed shortly after, I don't really know why but I thought I should let you know.

Developer

hi, thanks for playing and i am glad you had fun.

Regarding the crashes, could you say what browser you use?

I’m using safari, cause it’s the default for the Mac

Developer

ah that‘s good to know, i didn’t test that. Thanks

Fun idea and good execution ! I didn't understand the bit about a shared deck of 1 to 10 though, sometimes I had the same card twice in my starting hand, and I wasn't under the impression that me having a card means my opponent doesn't

hi thanks for the feedback. I give you the point, it’s not quite well explained, what the shared deco means. There are 40 cards in the deck. 1-10 each 4 times. The discarded cards get mixed back into the deck once the deck is empty. Both players draw from the same deck. Basically similar to UNO.

Such a weird idea in the best way 😂

I caught myself trying to lose rounds on purpose and that’s when I knew the game got me. Really fun, GG!

Developer

I‘m happy to hear that.

Interesting game, I liked the art and the music! Well done!

The gameplay premise is unique, I like that it's a card battler but where the lower number loses, you have to think very differently, and high numbers become resources rather than boons

Cool game. I like how you deal damage to yourself rather than enemy. Found the cards a little confusing at first, but after a few round started to understand them. Nice job

I like the overall concept of this game. Seems like a pretty creative way to play a head-to-head card game with some fun mechanics. The artwork and overall presentation was the highlight for me.

Cool strategy game! Would be fun to play 1v1 with another human player. I like the balance of higher cards having effects, which makes them risky but powerful to play!

One piece of feedback is that the infinity/mirror card feels a little moot, since it always results in a tie? Maybe I didn’t play enough games to see value beyond forcing both players to lose 1 life.

I also think the order of card resolution is important and could be balanced. Since the player always resolves first, cards like the 5 (draw two) are much worse, since they can be cancelled out by the 7 (discard + redraw), while the bot instead gets a new hand and then two cards!

Regardless, I appreciate how tight the gameplay loop is. Played a few rounds to experiment with strategy and had a fun time. Great work!

Our submission is here (not linked by Itch for some reason?)

bru i had a full page written as a reponse, clicked on your game and now the comment is gone... happens

Thanks for playing the game and i am glad you enjoyed it. 

There is a multiplayer version planned, aswell as a 3 or 4 player mode.

The mirror was planned in mind with the other modes and also falls a bit flat, because the bot always picks random. 

The 7 is definitive a bug and is not intended like that. played this game quite a lot and never noticed :D

Very cool little strategy game you got there! I've just been informed that you made that in your own custom engine, so that's like extremely impressive actually. Very well done!

Also the game looks cool :D

Wow! Really cool game - I enjoyed strategizing on what to pick to maximize the opponent’s health whilst taking mine down. The cards felt really good to pick and play, too.
