Hi! I'm a solo developer from Chile working on MOCKED, a poker roguelite where poker hands aren't used to score points — they're how you fight.
♦ Diamonds build your weapon
♥ Hearts keep you alive
♠ Spades and ♣ Clubs are the enemies.
You choose up to five cards, form a poker hand, and that hand becomes your attack.
Enemies you don't kill stay on the table and keep pressuring your next hands, so you're constantly deciding between making a stronger poker hand and dealing with the cards that are becoming dangerous.
During a run you can also:
- level up your poker hands;
- collect relics that change how you build your run;
- mutate cards;
- create increasingly ridiculous combinations.
I've been spending a lot of time recently improving the first-time experience, combat readability and game feel, so I also added a short browser version that lets you play the tutorial + first phase without downloading anything.
The downloadable demo goes further and includes the first three phases and the first boss.

The demo is available in English and Spanish.
It's still actively in development, so if you give it a try, I'm always happy to hear what clicked — or what didn't.
