Omg, I just saw it because you had been in my favors and I had so absorbed the game that I hadn’t graded it! I love the idea behind the game, I find it extremely creative and super fun to play!
I found a bug with a card combo that froze the screen. After the effect passed I couldn't click on any cards. I had fun playing, it only felt weird that it ends out of nowhere.
Pretty fun! I enjoyed playing. 😎
My high score was 29,775. I wasn't really sure what it meant by "Stars" when it displays my score at the end.
The art style and overall atmosphere immediately pulled me in, and the gameplay kept me coming back for another run. A little more clarity on some mechanics would make it even better, but it's already a fantastic jam entry.
Lovely artwork, nice music. The timer is stressful, and I think its a simple idea executed well/
Nice little game! Quite like the combo ideas but I wish there was a way to have them on the side on something to keep track of which one I've unlocked. Also I think you should reinforce the visual contrast of the different arcana, between the line width, the detailed shapes and the timer I wish I could be faster recognizing them. Congrats for completing your game!
Really cool game, I liked unlocking the combos with the arcana a lot, ran into a bug where I wasn't able to click things a couple times, but overall really fun :3
The artwork is pretty cool! I really like the clock in the back being the timer! I enjoyed playing :)
A lot of polish and an interesting gameplay mechanic. I also really enjoyed the art in the game
It really hooked me, awesome execution! The visuals, the sounds, and the atmosphere overall. If you added a bit more progression, I could easily get lost in it and just keep stacking cards endlessly -because it’s so well done. Great work!
I really dig the vibe - wasn’t exactly sure what I was doing and when/how the timer runs out but I enjoyed it, I think it has great potential if made into a fuller game!
yeah i should have made it clearer that the clock in the back is the timer!
really love the vibe the game has! Not really understood the mechanics as I was just merging similar ones
Interesting game! The audio and the cards merging together was really satisfying! I probably could get stuck just replaying this lol
Solid, wish I could turn the blur down a smidge, and I'd like to dig into the arcanas a bit more if there was a bit more context around them that I could dig into (some form of lore or something idk)
Thank you for your feedback!
Good core loop, can definitely see it expanded upon
I hope to expand on it with all the major arcana! Thank you!
Really cool game, could totally see myself getting addicted to this gameplay loop. I think it would be nice if the arcana combos explained more how they worked instead of vague descriptions. Also the combo that replaces all cards on screen broke the game for me and I had to restart, just fyi. Great work!
Thank you!
Really cool art style and satisfying gameplay!
Thank you!
Gameplay is simple but fun and the artwork is very unique, I like it!
Thank you!
The game is simple, but addictive. The vibe is well-done.
But I'm too stupid to play it effectively :)
Thank you!
Very entertaining gameplay loop! Sadly the browser version was a bit laggy whenever I revealed a tarot card :(
But besides that the game was very cool. Really liked the vibe :)
Thank you! I should have preloaded the particles for the Arcana, sorry about that.
