This is the first blackjack game I've played that was actually fun and able to keep me playing long enough to eventually win. Great work!

Fun game! I wish there was a little more variety to the cards and that the enemies could use them, because I felt like I was playing against the same guy with different skin all the time

Submitted

I kinda wish there was something more to the enemies, because it felt like they were playing much more fair than I was. But otherwise, a really great entry with some fun deckbuilding!

Fantastic concept, really well done. Had a lot of fun, thanks!

I’ve seen many games that use the concept of reaching zero, but it was still a unique and wonderful experience.

This is absolute heat. Slick system :) Fun and engaging strategic depth!

This game was super fun, and I loved the ambiance! One of the first games I've played that had a decent length and compelled me to get through the whole thing. I love going all in and then 1.8xing my damage.

I thought I was able to beat the system by making a full gray deck and kept going all in. I think I got too cocky though, because I lost to an all in...
It's a very balanced and polished game, the scaling stats for both the enemies and the cards make a long gameplay that doesn't bore easily.
I really like the ambiance and the general aesthetic that was given here, like the bizarre enemies and them having personal traits that define how they play.
The only thing I'd like to point out is how hard it is at the start to understand what the game wants, but after you get the hang of it it's great and it has an entertaining game cycle.
Gooj job!

Took a little bit to figure out what was going on but after I got the hang of it it was a lot of fun!

I don't know what's going on but I'm going all in!

Even though I generally don't like gambling, this game was quite fun! I enjoyed being able to tweak the chances in my favor, and the artwork is great.
