How does your game fit the theme?
My game is a deckbuilder where every action you do decreases the value of the cards.

That was very nice to play, thanks! I especially enjoyed the graphic style and the music playing in the background, great card game atmosphere! For me the hardest thing to understand was the scoring system, sometimes when I had bad luck I passed the level nonetheless, where as sometimes I thought I was cooking with some four of a kinds and straights but then I saw that I did not get enough points xD. I guess maybe that's because I don't play poker that much, but maybe a small tutorial at the end would have made it much better. Anyway, thanks for the game, I really enjoyed it :)
Hi! From a fellow card game submitter, I think I found your game really interesting. Once I figured it out with trial and error, I had it mostly, and I found it pretty fun. Except there isn't much variety in what you might play; you go with your intuition. I think you could add modifiers like "x1.5 if you have a card <3 in your hand", or something akin to that, but also it might help just to show the numbers actively ticking up and why you get a specific score. Also, it feels kind of punishing. It seems like I only get one hand per round, and if I get really bad RNG or mess up and play the hand early, I lose. But anyway, this is a really interesting card game with good graphics, and I think you could definitely expand this into a finished game! (eg unlike other game jam games where the idea is good or funny for a 15-minute experience). (PS: I also submitted a deckbuilder, and from experience I can say they're really hard to make, balance, explain, etc so good job)
Thank you so much, I really love those big paragraphs of constructive criticism. I didn't have much time when I made the game so I'm aware this game was rushed and isn't very well put together or even that interesting to play, I just tried to get what I had at the moment out there. I'm going to completely rework it and would love to get some feedback! I really appreciate you taking the time to write this comment <3.
I wish I could play this on web, the download does not work for my mac :(
extremely creative and the visuals and sound design is very satisfying!
i think the mechanics can be a little more clearly conveyed. i know the controls are in the description, but having a clearer in game visual of your cards values going down and the controls would do some numbers
overall i think this is a really good start, and i think with a few tweaks this can be great!
Is there any tutorial or guide on how to play the game?
It's all in the description
Decreasing card values with every action is such a brilliant twist on deckbuilding mechanics!
How I loved this game. Let me just say that the idea and the whole game is really creative, but damn how did you make such a polished and good-looking game in only 4 days, Great job!!!
thank you, really appreciate it <3
Love to see another card game! Really well thought out design, and satisfying to play!
Thank you!
Love the style of the game, the audio is fantastic and overall enjoyable to play :)
This game would be competetive, if u have enough time. Well I am impressed that u still succeed in making a playable version of your concept, and made it to Jam. With some updates and clear instructions. This game would become nice Cheers ~Silent Comet
Greetings, beautiful visuals, and the musical accompaniment is also captivating.
Thank you so much, glad you liked it!
