Very fun. Cool Intro. Really full of interesting choices each round, especially once the number of cards in each players hands gets big enough. Loved the puzzle of this game!

Submitted(+1)

Rly rly cool game! Gosh one of the few where I want More! Impossible mode was also rly cool! If this was a roguelike deckbuilder Id play so so much more of it! The audio and music is also rly good, and the intro isnt quite my style but rly polished and plain fun regardless

Also the name is So evocative it’s great! Plus I also Love having bad cards in both your and your opponents decks you need to move around! It’s such a satisfying puzzle, I rly rly enjoyed it- plus the difficulty progression is also very rewarding Really really good game!

Awesome Game! Very fun concept of the players hand being their health they are ticking down and up. Stealing cards felt like the biggest power swing for the player.

Why does this not have 200 reviews :D This is a great time. The art is stunning. The voice acting is supreme. The mechanics is also very cool with the amount of cards you have count as your health. Have not seen that in a card game before :D

Very well done. You and your team should be very proud. Thank you for making this.

This is one of my favorites mechanically this jam, this is a really cool (minimalist?) card strategy game, I hope you expand upon this more. Only feedback I have is that I wish I could skip the intro, I wanna jump right into it!

Developer

Thank you very much! 

You can press escape to skip the intro. If you're playing on browser it only works when not in fullscreen.

does the game end here?

I coudn't press contintinue
had fun enjoyed the game i liked the art
my approach was to just to never play drawing cards so they can destroy it and think its a very guaranteed win when always attacking their attacks and leaving their draw cards be to use

what i liked most was probably the card designs and the animation when destroying the cards

Developer

Hi! That doesn't sound right. There are two more opponents plus an optional one. Haven't heard of anybody else getting stuck there, not sure what could've gone wrong.

The next opponents get a bit tricker but I think you would figure it out quickly.

Cuteee intro!! <33

Great job! Well implemented and great art. My one gripe is the pace of the game is slow, but that may just be my personal tastes

Submitted(+1)

Absolutely epic intro!!  Artwork was great.  Game play was superb.  I'm definitely playing more of this later.  

Music was awesome, btw.  Where's it from?

Some of the card text could have been larger.  A fantasy font would also have been more fitting.

Thank you for the kind words! 

All music was made by ODPixel for the Jam. He also did the voice over for the intro 😄.

really loved the art, very clean! good job :>

Developer

Thank you! Yeah devon knows his stuff.

That's a great idea for the theme !! The gameplay was engaging and fun, and it has a lot of potential to add more cards etc. The art is very nice and fits well. Great work !

Developer(+1)

Thank you very much! We wanted to do something not related to time or limited number number of rounds and ended up with this. Was afraid it wouldn't be perceived as a good interpretation of the theme so I'm glad you like it.

Wow what a well polished game! Really really impressive work! The artwork, sounds, voicelines, and multiple layers of mechanics really played well together! 

Developer

Thank you for the kind words!

Just one word – STUNNING.

Everything is really well done—the music, the art, and the mechanics. Great game!

The game mechanics were interesting, and the card designs were cute.
