This is really impressive for your first game! The interactions felt pretty good, same with the visuals. I got a few endings, but I wasn't really sure what I did to cause them to happen. Your tutorial/explanation in the beginning was great, that is something my game needed. Continue to do game jams, you're clearly talented!
The presentation and visuals are very cool. I really like the sound effects too. However, I had a hard time trying to figure out what to do. But for your first game, this is very impressive and good!
Cool concept for a card game! The visuals are smooth, and gameplay-wise, I see there are ways to collect cards to decide between different endings. It sounds like there’s something involving a king's army and a rebellion, or maybe destroying it all, but that’s just my speculation. Good job on the entry!
This is such an interesting concept! The interactive ui part of going through the cards is satisfying. At first, it was a bit confusing, but after understanding the game better, I had a fun time playing with all the different interactions and endings. I do wonder if there is an ending for the royals, since I was a bit confused about those cards.
Thanks for the review man really appreciate it! Glad the game started clicking after a bit lol. The royals dont have their own ending right now 😅
Royal spoiler
The only ending where a royal is part of you is 2 in the front. They are more like hazards you have to deal with during the run.
I definitely need to explain those cards better tho 😅
The visuals are very good, well done! However I didn't really understand the game even after spending a decent amount of time in it. In the description you mentioned endigs so at what point does the game really end? I'm just not even sure if I got endings or some mid run failures. Overall nice job on visuals, sound and animations!
Nice one, but it was kinda laggy, I have like 15 fps XD, but maybe the problem is on my side. But litle optimalization and quide would help a lot.
Thank you so, so much! I started testing the game, and while porting it to the web I accidentally introduced a bug that forces everything to always run at 1920x1080. Unfortunately, I can’t change that silly piece of code until the jam is over.
Sorry about that, and super, super thank you.I’m also going to check out and rate your game!
I love how the card interactions make you question what you can actually trust. Also, loved the text effects at the beginning! The interactive UI is also really fun and makes the game feel more engaging.

I always new that cards are against me!
That's why I'm always losing in casinos?
I couldn't understand what to do. But the visuals and game was nice.
Well done!
And feel free to check out my game as well
Very good visual. But hard to understand XD i played for 20mins but still don't know what am i doing
Great game, and such a unique idea! Ran super smoothly and looks clean. Really great concept of just getting the ending while figuring out the game.
