I like the idea for this game and after I actually read the tutorial it was easy to pick up and fun to optimize the score. Good job!

It's interesting and addictive concept, but a little hard to understand at first.
Play card animation is fun!
Also i got some long error in html version on second playthrough and game crashed, unfortunately didn't copy the crash log, but it had a lot of @ if it's any help.

Very creative idea! I'm happy to see more card games. I've made a port of scoundrel (unrelated to this jam) so it was kind of cool to see a game inspired by it, although I feel like they are very different games at this point.

The vibe of the game is really cool and you can see the amount of effort that was put into it.

Well done!

Clean and hectic, really liked this one

Having all the cards on a counter taught me how to play this type of card game fast, i love the art style and the whole concept of this. Nice game !!

Submitted

Interesting concept! I like it and can see a future in it if you can figure out some more meat around the mechanics.
I had fun. Thanks!
Great job!

Interesting game. Very fast paced and fun. I want taking my time at the start and later it's so fast I couldn't keep up. I also like that there is strategy to counter card, not just put the same type on top of each but place one with higher timer over one with lower time...that was a pretty cool feature.
Really fun game.

Interesting game.  I made it to the end and no leaderboard info.   Was fun though.

Lots of combos!! Nice juice on the card interactions!

At first it was so confusing, but once I understood it I immediately got addicted. Love it!

Cool game! Nice twist on the card and countdown combo. I think the game might just need a more streamline way to teach the player. It felt like I was dumped quite a bit of info and then thrown into a timed game that I didn't fully understand.

Chaotic but well communicated! I appreciate the step-by-step tutorial :). I drew only swords for my very first hand which makes me wonder if the randomness could use a little more uniformity? I like how the song's pace reflects your HP. Well done!

Type of game where you have to lose X times to get a grip of what is happening. Music feels akwards sometimes but gameplay ou boy some more polish and can be something reaaaaly good :D

Submitted

Had no idea what was going on at first but after a while I figured i out.  Fun and challenging game that requires you to think fast

Submitted

Really creative game, that seemed quite punishing if the luck is not on your side. Perhaps if it was a tad slower in the beginning then it would be easier to get used to. Fun for sure :)

I really like the concept that you've made. The mechanic of the timers being what activates the cards rather than the player adds quite an element of randomness and I think that fits a game like this. this game shares similarities to Balatro, which I cannot complain about. Overall, a well made game (even if I did get 9 sword cards at the same time, how unlucky).

that was not a simple game.. think i got very lucky.

it seems like leader board is not working. got 7200 points!

it isn't, and yes it is a hard game and also relies on luck, congrats on beating it, we hope you liked it!!
