Oh awesome someone else did a "Scoundrel-like." I really like the direction you went with it, really leaning into the RPG mechanics while using the "card game" as a base. Good work with the sound design, and art. The UI and controls were very polished. I wish I can get that level of polish in my jam games, honestly! Some nitpicks: - A few things, the pixel art is great. The CRT filter was a bit much, so I did switch it off in the settings. I think it would be a little better for the user if the game automatically went to the title or restarted the run on the end game scene, instead of having to navigate to the settings menu. - I think the 'boss' being unbeatable feels a little bad but I might be missing something. I was able to win by running away near the end, but I'd love to see a version of the game with clearer win conditions! I can definitely see myself playing this again and it would be great if you expanded on it more after the jam.

Cool take on the theme. The game overall is really polished and fun. I had to stop myself from playing so i could rate more jam games.

fun gameplay! i think this game does what it tries to do well! i don't see much of the theme and do think there is something missing in terms of a unique concept (which gives you loads of options to expand the game if you so wish) or interesting items/enemies mechanically, but within the scope of a jam game i think this is a fun and very nicely presented experience
