How does the game fit the theme?
The player has to guess between 2 options each round. These options can be made easier or more difficult by playing cards. the cards that make the game easier cost points and the ones that make the game harder gain points. The game is about balancing risk and reward—the more you risk, the more points you can potentially gain, but you also risk losing everything.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

image.png Had a good time, it ended up being too easy and it didn’t give me a lot of red cards so I wasn’t able to raise my score that much. Got to like 1300 and lost those points on a couple of hard levels lol. Would have loved more control, and the lose on card slot should definitely give you far more points imo given it doesn’t let you get potentially more from future red cards in that slot. It was still a good time, enjoyed it a lot. Edit: If you like games like this one, there’s an excellent demo for the new sokpop game Brain School on Steam right now that you may enjoy! It shares a lot of the DNA of this game

Very fun game, good touch with the power up cards. Managed to get pretty far I would say! Good job

Would you try my game also? :)

Man those particle effect combined with the sound track, i spent 5 minutes just watching them before learning what i was meant to do because it was so relaxing. 
The core mechanics of the game were really fun. You'd get on a streak and think you were unstoppable, only to lose suddenly!

Very original, super intuitive and fun!

Ha. This reminds me of the high card low card drinking game. I like the idea. Nicely done

Really fun simple gameplay and mechanics! I really like the use of the cards in your hand playing into the theme and affecting your score! Really neat idea!

Such a simple game but I loved it!

WOW (btw, i loved the pot of greed :D)

Despite how simple the premise is, it was quite fun to play, congrats!

I feel like it was sometimes quite hard to measure a value of using a specific card (points are kinda arbitrary) and the game could definitely use a tiny bit more juice, but it was still really fun.

This is really interesting. I like the small logic puzzles you have to solve, in combination with the randomness of the card draws. Fun little game with a surprising amount of depth!

Loved the game. Seriously relaxing and actually just straight up GOOD GAME in every sense of the word. No gimmicks or anything like that. It actually makes you think and approach each round strategically. Very good job!

EDIT: Oh, I would just make the cards a bit more readable, otherwise, excellent game.
