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)

Developer

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!

Developer

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.

Developer

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!

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!

Developer

Thanks for playing and commenting! We'll try to develop this game further :)
