What a nice little game it is! Very interesting ohw you are programmed opponent.

I played this like 3 times this is really fun lol. Great audio and the art is phenomenal

Really enjoyed this! Very elegant core set of rules. I played several games but am still unsure what exactly the fight is - the only time I played and the timer hit zero, the game just stalled, so I had to refresh. But I really enjoyed playing this, and could imagine playing it as a physical game with friends!

As a big card game fan this is one of my favorites I've tried so far! The art and vibes mix really well with the music, and the gameplay loop is simple to understand and really fun to play!

I really enjoyed this, simple rules but fun strategy. I bet this would be even more fun against human opponents! Great artwork and style too

Big Inscryption vibes, very cool

That was quite an interesting game, I liked the mechanics, although I'm not sure if won or loose 😂.

Well done!

Really cool concept, I think that playing this kind of bluff games with human player could be really cool !

Well done !

Great game. The tutorial is done well, didn't know i was playing one. It's an interesting take on a card game mechanical wise. Cool stuff!
Art wise it has a lot of Inscryption vibes, not sure if i like that.
Well done though, great job!

The holy grail is OP. How does the reaper choose cards? Does he have a preference or is it random. I feel like I baited him into giving me 3x holy grail, but maybe it was just a coincidence.

Very cool idea, very fun game loop. Well done!

Really loved it, an amazing experience! Curious about the enemy choices, does it follow a greedy approach or some bit of randomness is present?

Submitted

Really enjoyable! Music and art are on point. Took a little bit to figure out how it played, but it was tutorialised very naturally

Submitted

Very fun game, I was instantly hooked trying to figure out the strategies! The tutorial felt very natural too.
My only complaint was that clicking to place the card in the slot wasn't intuitive and I almost quit because I thought it was broken.

Won the skeleton in hard! Really love the game (though maybe hard seemed easier as it seemed less random). Good work!

Once I figured out the rules, this was very fun. My biggest nitpick is that the enemy choices feel random. I'm assuming there's some sort of algorithm, but I think single player card games benefit more when the rules are laid out clearly and the player is in charge of every action. That being said, I did find myself playing the game as if I was going against a real person and not some computer lol, so that probably speaks to how immersive the gameplay actually is.

The sound design was awesome, and  I think you did really well making the Inscription inspiration pay homage without directly copying it.

Good work!

It took me a second to figure out how to play, but I'm really glad I gave it the time because I really liked it! Had a ton of fun. 
I would say the only thing to improve on would be the tutorial? Maybe some more hints in game? But once you figure it out its very clear what is happening. 
Art was really good as well. Great work.
