I’m afraid I couldn’t progress that well given the card system wasn’t well explained, but it seemed neat.
I really liked the combat system and how it led to using the cards in creative ways. The dialogue was also very charming
A creative idea with a nice story and gameplay. I didn't know how to play at first, but then I understood it and really enjoyed managing the cards and calculating the moves. Overall, a potential game!
The seeds of a really interesting idea! Worth working on further! I see you uploaded it a couple of hours before deadline so the bugs are understandable and, based on the game it can become, I'm a fan!
Aww thank you! Yeah this game suffered a lot from “I really want to add the whole entire world with all the little details I had in mind” syndrome.
It’s really fun, especially when I need to manage my card resources wisely – it’s a brilliant idea!!!
This game was pretty fun! I also thought it was pretty funny. It was a really cool idea.
lost from grandma the first thing to do is go to casino lol, the game is fun and i really appreciate games like this
Yayyy thanks!
This is a very impressive idea, I really love the concept of looping your actions. It made me feel pretty smart. It's also very interesting how looping works with RNG effects. Very very cool!
I loved the scripted cutscenes, impressive feature to have on such a short timeframe! I think I suck at the card game, but getting absolutely cooked by an insane combo by the bot was sending me, so I still had a great time haha
Thank you! Definitely needed a little bit more time in the oven, but it makes me happy you enjoyed the cutscenes :)!
I was actually tearing my hair out wondering how I could possibly beat the first level... glad it's not just me. Great concept, honestly if you fix it after the jam and message me I would love to play it again and win.
very interesting concept but i do not know if i'm missing some thing but it looklike its impossivel to win the tutorial LOL only 5 swords to deal 1000 damage
Oh yeah you are meant to lose the tutorial don’t worry! Honestly this project suffers a lot from over ambition (mostly on my end lol) so I’ve definitely failed at making certain things clear. Unfortunately because of a dumb mistake I made (setting a 3 to a 4) the game is impossible to beat. But I’m happy you checked it out.
Cool art style, I like the mix of ms paint + realistic images. Gameplay and story was also fun and creative! The cards started to be a bit difficult to sift through after you have a lot of them though. Aside from that, I really liked the cardplay :)
Yay thanks I’m quite proud of the designs of the areas and stuff. A lot of the realistic images (like tables) are made with lots of sprites, like a ton of wood textures and gradients overlaying them.
I love card games
