🥰🥰
really cool game to play, the visual are incredibly good <3
Thank youu!! Glad you had fun and liked the visuals <3 🫶
Love the art style and music! It was fun too! :)
Thank youu!! Glad you had fun 🫶
I like the vibe and the art of this game. It's very polished. The gameplay seemed interesting, but honestly I had a hard time figuring out what was going on at times. Still impressive for a jam game! Good job!
Thank youu!! Really glad you liked the vibe, art, and polish 🫶 And appreciate the feedback on the gameplay! There’s definitely a few things to figure out at first, but glad you still found it interesting. Thanks for giving it a try and for the kind words! <3
I encountered a bug which soft-locked the game:
My opponent played Light which forced me to play a 2 on a 21... and then it just became stuck on my opponent's turn forever.
Ohh yeah, that definitely sounds like a bug 😭 Thanks for reporting it and for the detailed steps! We’ll look into the Light + 21 interaction and see what’s causing the soft-lock. Really appreciate you letting us know!
Loved the game, the visuals are top notch and the concept is great. Just a few things that got in my way:
There are way too many popups. At one point I got cursed, then milk, then cursed again, and the sound they make when they appear is so loud it becomes funny. The running sum of the cards also fades out eventually, which really hurts when I'm being cursed and offered milk three times in a row, because by the time all the minigames are over I've forgotten what number we're on. I'd also love to see it lean a bit more into bluffing, to fit the theme better.
My suggestion would be to make the milk interactable, you click it and then the popup appears, and to have the curse text fade faster once you've read it a first time.
It's beautiful though. One of the most charming games I've played in the jam: charismatic, stylish and really, really cool.
Thank youu so much for the detailed feedback!! We’re really glad you enjoyed the visuals, concept, and overall vibe 🫶
We actually really like the idea of keeping the card sum visible for longer, especially when the curses start piling up lol. And yeah, the curse text could probably fade a bit faster, while the popup sounds might need to be toned down a little 😂
The milk being limited to curse moments was actually a design choice tho, since we wanted it to feel more like a little risk/reward decision 👀
And congrats on the win btw!! 😂🥰
Really appreciate you taking the time to write all this, and those kind words at the end mean a lot to the whole team <3
The visual style is insane! this was the most frustrating blackjack experience ever, loved it. I think it would be good to mention to the player that a round doesn't end till you play all your cards/
Thank youu! Glad you loved the visual style and the cursed Blackjack experience! And yeah, that’s a good point — it is mentioned in the tutorial at the start, but we could definitely make it more noticeable so it’s easier to catch. Really appreciate the feedback! 🥰
I was a little confused on how to play honestly. I thought I would keep pulling cards like Blackjack is played solo. The art and music and everything was so superb in this game. I LOVE the whole aesthetic though!
Thank youu! Glad you loved the aesthetic and music! 🫶 The card system can definitely be a bit tricky if you’re new to this type of game 😂
First of all love the presentation and the music, it's got such a strong vibe!
like some others pointed out I encountered some bugs on the web version specifically with the cursor sometimes not registering (I am not quite sure what triggers it, just seemed to happen at random and then it would fix itself) and and I even managed to somehow softlock the game by playing a stop card at one point
The download version however is completely bug free form my experience and I was able to win the game
Thank youu for trying both versions! Glad you liked the presentation and music 🫶 Most of the web issues have been fixed now, and happy you managed to beat the game!
Great artstyle for this game! And an interesting version of the classic 21. Love the vibe of the game, keep it up"
Thank youu! Glad you enjoyed it 🥰
I love the artwork and overall vibe of the game. It feels polished and very cohesive throughout the game. I did run into a few bugs. Unsure whether or not that was because I was playing on the browser since no one else mentioned it. But the game did feel a bit unresponsive at times, I'd click a card and nothing would happen. And some of the minigames were broken? (or i misread the instructions for it).
Gameplay wise, i think its a cool concept, and fun plot that I could see myself playing a lot of. My only gameplay issue was that, it felt like no matter what I did regarding with the milk. I was punished. Maybe I was just unlucky, but whenever i picked it something bad happened, and when I didn't pick it something bad happened LOL I also really enjoyed the take on not knowing whether to trust yourself and what you see. I couldn't trust him or myself at times
Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! 🫶 We’re really glad you enjoyed the art, vibe, and the whole trust-yourself-or-not aspect! :D
About the milk, it’s actually meant to appear whenever a curse is active. Drinking it doesn’t trigger the curse, but it can either restore a lost life or reduce the time you have for the curse/minigame, which can sometimes make the random card selection happen before you have enough time to react.
That said, your feedback on the milk is actually really helpful! We can definitely see how it might feel confusing, so it’s something we might tweak or communicate better in the future 👀
And yeah, the card responsiveness is a known issue with the browser version that we’re currently fixing. The Windows version should give you the full intended experience!
Thanks again for playing and for taking the time to write all this! 🥰
What an excellent take on the theme, and what an amazing game! Very good job!
Thank youu! Glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
Super stylish look
🥰🥰
Fun game! I love the visuals, it's a very stylish game. It felt a little hard to pick cards sometimes but I really liked it overall. I could never resist the milk and I love all the cat puns lol. Only thing I would say it could use is perhaps a sound effect when you put a card down. Very fun game!
Thank youu! Glad you enjoyed the visuals and cat puns 😂 And yeah, that milk is hard to resist! 😅🐱
The visuals are amazing! Very engaging gameplay as well, congrats!
Thank youu! Glad you enjoyed the visuals and gameplay! 🫶

Wow 13 people! Big team and it shows, well done.
Thank youu! We really appreciate it! Glad the team effort shows 💜
just rated. I find the cursed-casino setup a really good hook, a bit nasty in a good way. Great job!
Greetings from Germany!
