How does your game fit the theme?
The healthbars count down your score to 0... tbh I just wanted to make this card game and GMTK was a reason to do that :D

I had fun playing against the CPU, although the game kept freezing on me (seemingly while the AI was thinking?) and I couldn't quite finish a full game. It took me quite a while to figure out exactly what the scoring rules were -- I interpreted "2 = -2" as meaning that number cards were worth negative points, and then that the total number of points gets subtracted from our score, meaning that I should just look for any cards 2-9 in order to gain points. But the actual scoring is that every card except for 2 and King is bad for you (unless you pair them), which took me a couple rounds to figure out. I'm not sure the clearest way to write out the rules, but probably having the scoring for numerical cards explicitly listed would be helpful.
Still, the game was fun and seems appropriate for the theme. Nice job!
Thank you! Sorry about the confusion - shouldve made an ingame style tutorial instead of just a wall of text tbh
Interesting idea for a card game!
Thank you! It's based on the card game "Golf" (which is one I really enjoy and wanted to make). The only difference with Golf is you can peek at 2 cards before the round starts
This was quite an enjoyable game once I understood it (and it only took me a minute because I'm kinda dumb lol). I would definitely find myself getting addicted to this as a game. I did encounter a bug where I couldn't play more than one round, but I would have definitely enjoyed to keep going, so that's a big plus! great job!
Thank you :D - I wonder where that bug comes from... I never tried testing the WebGL build for more than 1 round so maybe it's to do with that.
I'm not very good at card game, but I enjoyed testing your game. I was missing some music!
Yeah I agree! We only made it in ~48hrs so unfortunately didn't have time to add that. But to be honest, I shouldn't have made it an online game, and then I could've focused more on the feel/music/sfx
