definitely getting those balatro vibes. the tutorial makes it easy to figure out right away. the ui and sound effects are really polished too. it is a bit of a bummer there is no music though. awesome work!

How does your game fit the theme?
You play the countdown, and you win it by card counting as your deck dwindles. Build your deck out and decide when to push your luck. The countdown is the primary mechanic, the tension, and your multiplier. Knowing how far to ride it toward zero before you stop is the whole game.

Amazing game! I can't believe how much you were able to add in just during the jam. The UI and animations are so polished, and the sound effects are very satisfying. I would definitely buy this game on Steam and play! The only thing is that on my computer, the text is very small and sometimes hard to read in fullscreen. Other than that, this is one of my favorite games that I have played!

LosaDefinitely amongst my favourites of the jam and I think my Balatro experience really helped my score :)
UI scaling needs work but otherwise looks really great and the tutorial and keywords and tooltips etc. all really useful and impressive

Stop Clock Showdown (GMTK JAM 2026)BLACKJACK BALATRO!!! Really has the sauce. I'm a huge fan of how this game was made, it's so clean, polished & just well executed. And I can't help but be a fan of a number go up game. As some others said the only other thing needed is some music but other than that no critiques. great game

wibzGame was pretty fun! Only criticisms are no music and the UI doesn't scale when playing in fullscreen, which makes the text hard to read

The Game Jam ExperiencePlease, I don’t want to become a gambling addict!
This is really nicely done for a solo entry (I did see the AI disclosure, so thanks for honesty!) in 4 days, so great job!
There really is a lot of satisfaction when “number go up!”, so well executed!
Good job, very nice game.

Lay the Count DownThe game loop is awesome and the UI, tutorial and card effects interactions are insane for a 4 day jam! Like others said, some music would be nice and the text is a little small at times. But it really feels like a full game, good job!

Time is MoneyReally nice game, i think it lacks a bit of music and background movement

Flash FloodAmazing game, its super polished and all the effects are explained very clearly and in-detail
only thing stopping it from being perfect is the lack of music - but the satisfying sound effects make up for it

Time to Impact
YES dude.. The tutorial is proper handholding and clean. The gameloop seems so simple, but I wanna play to see how things can change. It feels polished and nice. 10/10.
Edit: Get this on steam and the play/app store right now..
