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)
omg thank you so much!! so glad you liked it :D
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!
Hey thanks for playing. This is a super useful feedback!! I wasn't sure if the onboarding experience was good enough, so thank you for sharing your experience
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.
Heyy thanks for the nice comment! You actually can see the tooltip while hovering on your joker cards that you drew. But maybe you mean on normal cards, those are missing :| Thanks again for playing!
This is incredibly polished with great attention to detail and a super strong thematic focus. Excellent jam entry!
Hey thanks for playing and the nice comment!
Have you tried the medicine drug? 17 more rounds of placebo.
Yeah, its good
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!
Thanks for playing and commenting! We'll try to develop this game further :)
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.
omg thank you so much for the nice comment!! :D
Geez, I got to night 30. Time passed like nothing. Great!!!!
So happy to hear that! thanks for playing
I played your game when you first uploaded it to the jam. It was interesting even back then. Great job. If you'd like, you can check out my game and vote for it. (Rated)
Thanks for playing!
Very cool concept and so is the art direction :):)
thank you for the nice comment!
very cool game! best one i have played so far. i also made a deck builder game if you want to check it out ;)
hey thank you!! I'll 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!
Thanks for playing and commenting!
Fun game, like the black jack and balatro mix.
thanks!!
Absolutely obsessed. Keep up the good work :D
omg never thought that someone would get to that hahahahhahha awesome
I didn't know it was possible to get addicted 14 times in a row haha, thank you so much for sharing!
I'm surprised by this game—I loved it!
Thanks for playing!
balatro mixed with Blackjack "in a nutshell" is something i actually enjoy and love to play since they both are card games! besides that i really love the UI and Graphics including the audio!! Good job!
thanks for nice feedback!
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]
Thanks for the nice comment!
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.
We tried to pay attention to how interactions feel :) So glad you noticed, thank you so much
This is really great idea.I really liked it.nice work!
thank you so much!! <3
Outstanding work—great results driven by great development.
Thank you for the nice commet!
