I look forward to your card games every year and I must say, I was blown away this year! The rules are simple but the challenge it creates is so intense. Also, it’s such a polished experience that it feels like a full game! It’s genuinely impressive that you were able to make such a tight and fun gameplay loop (sorry Kyle) in just a few weeks! You all are getting very good at this and I cannot wait until next year!

Elden ZingThis character design of Koenig is a charming version—wizardly wordsmith! The card parameters make well balanced challenges.

Ermitz Encourage-BitzWow this is a very unique word game! Things can get pretty hectic with all the different judges and the time limit. It definitely feels great once you lock in, and get on a roll.

Star Raider KönigWhat a sweet game!! I'm such a fan of word games, and this one was great! I actually replayed multiple rounds as both Reyna and Koenig; both characters' abilities were super fun to use and come up with strategies for. Having to think ahead about how many fouls I could afford, how much mumbling I could get away with, and how much mana I needed to keep on hand really kept me engaged. And I felt so powerful when I could get on a roll with a streak of good letters/rules and could crank out a ton of words without stopping. And the VA squad really made the game feel more alive and added so much heart! Extremely charming and highly enjoyable jam entry. Great work!
The only obstacle I ran into was a moment where Reyna had 0 Mana and needed to use the same letter twice (I had no duplicates in my hand), so I just had to let the timer run out before I could do anything. This was my own fault, though, for transforming the judges without having any leftover mana saved. :p
And the only disappointment is that the Spellslinger universe isn't actually in a series that I can go read. 😔

Gulltry's Talent Agency 6We didn't get to put any info about it in the game itself, but there are Secret Words you can find, and some Exploit Words you can use. Note that to submit most of these words, you still need to follow the rules.
The Exploit Words are:
EXPLOIT - This word will always be accepted, no matter what the judge rules are or how much you mumble
MAXME - This will max out your resources, or give you 20 Favor, 0 Fouls, or 20 Mana.
NORULES - This will turn off all the judges
SKIPIT - This will end the game on a victory
The Secret Words are related to characters from previous Robot Party Game Jams, and there are two particular secret words you have to play in order to unlock the secret ending. There are 10 Secret Words in total, 2 referring to each previous Game Jam. One word will be the chosen character of the canonize game, and the other will be a character related to the original prompt. I'll spoil them in the comment below this one so if you want to figure them out yourself, don't scroll too far!
(I also haven't gotten to test out every word just yet so if any of them don't work, let us know!)
