Wow, very clever game design! I played till the end and won. The minimal sound design worked for the game presentation, the visuals were nice, the card animations were clean (though after a while, the deck shuffling got slower and slower). Other than that, this was a fun game and solid entry to the jam!

A really cool Blackjack alternative! Did you come up with this yourself, or did it already exist? If not, that's very impressive! I wonder why this variant isn't being played in casinos yet! (Probably because of the roguelite elements, haha.)

Very creative and brilliantly executed!

Hahah thank you! Yes I came up with it myself :) I’d visit a roguelike casino if they ever make one

This game is super fun,  well made and is really addictive. Some kind of tutorial run with predetermined cards might be good, to get to grips with the rules and the different modifier cards. Great job though

I honestly found this really fun! And it's a fun concept, and it's very polished with a very cohesive style.

It's a really nice game! Quite polished! I'm dumb so I had some trouble understanding the gameplay but I'm dumb x)Anyway, that's really good game, could be a quite mobile game

Really cool game. Nice concept and interpretation of the theme. It looks very polished.

Very clean execution, feels very professional and gameplay is interesting but challenging, however there is a small issue that comes up with how cards are added to the deck and the pointing of special cards. If the player plays a single card and then immediately ends the round, a special card can be added to the deck, this can be done until the only cards left in the deck are special cards at which point the countdown will never decrease while the player can fill their deck with all the most powerful cards repeated infinitely. Outside of this flaw, this is otherwise a really nice title!

I really liked the unique card art that you've done and also love the fact that this gives off mobile game vibes! The game is quite hard to understand at the start, but with the guidance of the help button, it made it way easier! And the audio was very chill and matched the game's vibe! Overall, excellent work!

Easy to pickup, easy to play, easy to enjoy!

Very satisfying game.

Very satisfying to play and easy to pick up! Good atmosphere too. I'm curious to see if this can be expanded upon!

Really liked the gameplay. It took me a while to understand the counter but then it made sense, without it, it would be too easy to just end at the first card to get lots of bonus cards.

The game mechanics are super fun and interesting here! Great job!

I like it! The card roguelike design is insanely addictive, I couldn’t stop playing it. Great work!

The amount of polish yall were able to do is impressive! I had a lot of fun beating it and I definitely think you have something here with the concept
