A very fun and unique take on the theme! The gameplay is really well made and a lot of fun, the cheating aspect is implemented very well! The art is very well made, you've done a great job with it. Overall the game was very fun and polished. Well done!

Well done, I had fun ! The  concept is nice.
I would maybe change the fonts, it was a bit hard to read. 
Maybe I got lucky, but my opponent did not notice i was cheating for multiple rounds, maybe you could increase the difficulty ?

Good game, and the concept is very cool. It's like real life for me, except in life I get caught every time. It's a little hard to learn at first, but after a few rounds, I started to understand and have fun. Maybe provide the player with information about the ace value at the start of the game and adjust the clarity of the fonts (less blurry). Apart from that, nice work !
Great submission !!

I'm an enthusiast card battle player, and this game rocks! The more you play, the deeper you can understand how this game truly works! I like the strategy of putting sh*t card for your opponent to draw.

Of course, sometimes you definitely can't win if your opponent hand is just too good and fit with all goals of that round. (RNG problem)

Simple and easy to understand visual. Audio is okay. A bit of tutorial would help! 

Overall, I really think this title has potential and can be developed into a great deckbuilder.

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed my game! Thank you for the feedback as well ^^

This is actually a really complex and well-done game that I feel like makes it harder on itself than it should by not having an introductory tutorial. I know it's hard time-wise but in a game like this a tutorial is absolutely vital! So it took me a bit to figure out the mechanics and controls, but once I did damn! There is so much in the game! The peak looks amazing from a pixel art design perspective, there is an AI behaviour in a jam game?!

I agree with the others that the music really gets on your nerves after a while (especially for me who spent a lot of time figuring the game out xD), but it's a jam and it's fine. Better than nothing.

So kudos, it's a great game, but in the future I would definitely recommend adding an interactive tutorial.

Developer

Thank you so much for your kind words! And I agree with everything you said! I actually wanted to make the cards move through the board instead of just appearing in place, so the player could see a bit better what's happening. But yeah, not enough time :') Still, I'm really glad you enjoyed it ^

A card game with good pixel art.

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you like my art ^^

I love the concept in this game. Having different ways to cheat built into the gameplay is fun.

I think that the mechanic would work better and be more fun if you knew the win criteria for multiple rounds ahead of time, so that you could strategize better what cards to keep or get rid of.

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the feedback! That was a possibility I considered as well. I'll keep it in mind for future game jams. I'm glad you had fun ^^

He started noticing at like round 4, but I lost there because of bad luck, really fun game!

Developer

Thank you for playing! I'm glad you had fun with it ^^

Nice game! I had really fun cheating my way to victory :D

Only negative I can think of is the music which becomes a bit repetitive after a while. Adding another track or two would really help. Or have the option to turn it off. This is a very minor issue though.

Great job!

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the feedback! And I totally understand. I unfortunately didn't have enough time to work on the music, so I made a quick loop. But adding the option to turn it off when that's the case is something I'll keep on my mind for future game jams!

Love the game and its art style! I think a few times it was bugged when i put down the winning card the other guy won. Please check out my game if you can get the chance! <3
