Omg, this is so fun. I didn't expect to play such a well made game! the gameplay, visuals, and sfxs are all excellent.
I think it's the most polished game in this jam i have played. (also one of my favorite :"D)

How did you incorporate the theme "UNSTABLE"?
An asylum mentally unstable patient plays a nightly game of pharmaceutical blackjack against himself, using pills to reach increasingly high targets without overdosing.

This was a great entry! It took a minute to figure out some of the cards as it wasn't always perfectly clear how they worked. And I didn't realize at first you could keep hitting even after going over (Kinda like black jack, you would immediately stop hitting once you went over) so there were a few situations I could have probably come back from and didn't have to restart. But other than minor on boarding issues, everything else was solid. Simple gameplay loop that adds randomness and variety. Great game for a jam!
Amazing job! Loved the tiny details of the character going to lie down every night and the sound effects and distortion of the game over screen. If I were to give any advice, it's that I would have liked to be able to hover over the cards that I drew to see the abilities, rather than just seeing them the abilities when I go to the shop.
This is incredibly polished with great attention to detail and a super strong thematic focus. Excellent jam entry!
Really cool game, like buckshot roulette but blackjack. Didn't see the time pass. Love the heavy theme, audio is great. Well polished. Hope you continue this!
Wow, what a well-made game, the movement, sound, concept, and execution are all excellent. I did feel quite heavy while playing it, and the theme isn't really my cup of tea, but there's no denying it's an excellent game. 5 stars across the board.
very cool game! best one i have played so far. i also made a deck builder game if you want to check it out ;)
This is such a good idea for blackjack and the animations in between the actions look really smooth. Was fun to play 10/10!
Balatro meets pharmaceutical Blackjack is such a cool and unique twist! The risk of overdosing vs reaching the target keeps the tension super high. Since you like deck-builders/card games, mine takes inspiration from Balatro but with particle physics interactions, I'd love it if you could give it a look! Great job on this! [Rated]
I think something about this gameplay loop, along with the sfx an animation, really kept me engaged. The UI too just all felt so snappy and responsive. Definitely so polished as well.
