double attack rune extract armor breaker go brr
It's a very polished deckbuilder! I had a lot of fun!
Thank you playing! I need to polish more this game, and double attack rune + armor breaker is strong :D
Fun deck builder! It definitly could use a little more overall polish to make it more readable and satisfying but still a very cool project!
Yes, I believe this is more like bones but no real contents much. I should make more readable and playable! Thank you-
Nice little Slay-like game. I really liked the mixture of the prototype art with the other art. Lol, game jams will do that. I got my butt kicked by a boss (and accidentally wasted my "mana" using the curse card on myself trying to get rid of it), but it was nice little experience.
Thank you for playing! Yeah, I am not an artist and struggle with making assets, so brought some public domain sprites. :)
Fun game, and good spire clone. I like exploring the map more and the villages being places to return to.
Thank you! I want to improve a bit more that is a good idea.
This was a great game! Good job!
Thank you!
An interesting concept and an unusual combination of genres for a game jam! Great work!
Thank you for playing!
Neat little spire clone! Great job getting it up and running as a single-person project! Could definitely use some work in making the card choices a bit more meaningful (the only card that was better than those in my starting deck was "swift strike", so I skipped everything else and just repeatedly upgraded and took more of those). Was able to seal up the world and prevent the Demon Lord from attacking, though, so all's well that ends well!
Happy to hear that you sealed up and prevent the Demon Lord from attacking! And I gave "Swift Strike" Strong, to make the user feel good using it. But as you said, it is over powered indeed, I didn't have enough time to balance the card or add more cards. I probably want to improve that part!
Thank you for playing-
I had a little trouble figuring out the mechanics of the world map and what i had to do, but i thought the concept was very nice!
Maybe I should give some better instructions how to move in the world map! Thank you for the feedback. :)
Nice game! The inherit mechanic was the cherry on top. It was so much fun building an entire deck with Swift Attack and not wasting a single mana, haha.
Thank you for playing and glad you enjoyed it!
Cool deck builder I liked the inherit mechanic alot
Glad you like the inherit mechanic! I was thinking about how to make a game play...
This is a really good card builder, Nice Job!
Thank you!
Great game! Had fun!
Thank you for playing!
