Really polished game! Took me a bit to get the hang of it, but once it clicked I kept going for one more run. Love the pixel art too!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing and we hope you had fun!

I liked this more than any of you suckers, fight me dorks! I love this game in all seriousness

Developer

Thanks so much for playing <3

I liked the tarot card card designs. the concept of death in your deck was interesting. liked the modifiers in the top left as well. Overall, really well put together. good work! :)

Very addicting and I’ll play it again, great job on that!

Developer

Glad you had fun! <3 Thanks for playing!

I must be missing something 'cause I feel like as soon as you got some doom, there's nothing you can do because death arrives too fast. Maybe there's a mechanic to push back death that I'm not getting, except the major arcana. The rest of the mechanics are pretty cool tho.

Developer

Haha Doom is a strong detriment to your playthrough! You're right, we thought about adding other ways to reduce Doom, however we thought the answer to that was to increase the ways to make sure you DON'T get Doom. Hope you had fun! :

The pixel art looks so nice, and overall a really polished game. Took me some time to learn due to my skill issue but really fun once I was able to understand how everything works. 

Developer

Thanks for playing <3

Honestly a pretty fun card game, I could see this being like an actual physical card game you could play. I got 121 as my highscore. :)

Developer

Thanks for playing - hope you enjoyed! :)

Submitted

It took me a while too fully understand at first, but after I did it was quite fun, and I got a high score of 280. Nice work!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing <3

Very nice game! Took a bit to get used to, but solid puzzle card game :) I keep forgetting to shuffle cards back into the deck tho!

Developer

Thank you for playing! <3

Submitted

Developer

This is a really good game! I love the art and simplicity. (My high score is 15 by the way!) :)

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for the play - once again really good job on your game too <3

Submitted

Very well polished and intricate game! I liked trying to figure out when to use my fate and on what. Shuffling the deck felt a lil overpowered for the cost, and I broke the game through one of the major arcana, but other than that I had a lot of fun playing it

Developer

Yeah, shuffling is strong. We tried to find a fair balance with the Major Arcana cards, however you're right that some of the mechanics are busted! Thank you for playing :)

Submitted

Very good and well polished, even if I didn't really understand what I was doing.

Developer

Thank you for the play and comment! <3

Submitted

This game is soooo good! Enjoyed everything of it!

Developer

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing :)

Submitted

Wow, what a game! I played 3 rounds, thought I was being clever in the last round but totally screwed myself over! Such a great concept, can't imagine how long it came to come up with all the major arcana effects!  

Developer

Thanks for the play and thank you for the comment <3

Submitted

AMAZING GAME: The mechanics, artstyle, interpetation. 10/10 addicting

Great game!!

Developer

Thanks so much for the comment and the play - we're glad you enjoyed it! <3

Submitted

Lovely art, and just in general a fun relaxing game that does make you think enough.
I also love how the cards get added into your hand from high to low, making choosing which cards to use even more intuitive. (It could have been very easy to just program every next card in as coming from the right so that attention to detail deserves to be noted.)

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing <3

I'll counter that with a thank you for making the game! :p
