Cool take on Balatro's card and shop mechanics!
Though I feel that some of the card effects are a bit over-the-top, which makes the game pretty hard to calculate. (like some cards that decreases the value of my cards, though it might be my misplay to buy them.)
Another advice is that if there are 2 or more center numbers to solve and the player may choose which one to solve first, the fights might be cooler and more complex!
Fun game, I have played so many rounds. I would suggest that you could make the RNG less random. Sometimes it feels like the RNG is stacked against me, and all the cards I get are just impossible to play with. Must mention, I quite liked the enchantment mechanic, gave it an interesting dimension. Also, was the counting down, inspired by Blackjack perchance?
Love the idea of a Balatro-style game for this jam! I feel like some of the upgrades hindered me more than helped, but still very cool :)
Great game with a simple but clever concept. Well done :) if you have spare time just check out my game too
Pretty fun card based concept, some shop cards definitely made it feel harder to calculate some moves, but the core gameplay loop works well. Especially liked how you have to count up when you get into the negatives
got me sometime to get the hang of it but got it at last ,the shop introduced variation which was good and it was engaging and rewarding when reaching 0 , and great audion and music choice , GG
Thought the concept sounded simple at first, but it ended up being quite fun! I also see the Balatro inspiration lol
