How does the game fit the theme?
Fast-paced, risk-and-reward card game where every draw could bring sweet points—or explosive disaster!
You begin with 4 identical decks, each holding tasty 10-point biscuits… and one bomb biscuit. Each stage gives you 3 turns: draw as many cards as you dare, bank them to score, or push your luck for bigger gains. But beware—draw a bomb before banking, and you lose everything that turn!
Clear stages to earn powerful upgrades: add bonuses to decks, upgrade your biscuits, or even gamble with extra bombs for juicy multipliers. With each stage, the score requirement rises, the tension builds, and the temptation to risk it all grows stronger.
Can you balance luck and strategy to survive the stages, rack up the highest score, and claim your place as the ultimate Biscuit Master?

Cool game! Loved the theme. Well done!
Nice game! I really liked the movement of the cards, it was very satisfying. If you ever want to expand on this game in the future, I think it would be nice to add special cards with certain abilities/power ups (like being able to peek at the next few cards), kind of like the board game Exploding Kittens (the explosion aspect of your game reminded me of Exploding Kittens, which I really enjoy!) Awesome work!
Thank you for the wonderful comment. And yes, I wish to expand upon it. I have a full-time job to juggle while making this, so lots of other ideas has to put on hold. AND YES TOO! this is inspired by exploding kitten! I just added a pinch of Balatro into it.
Cool card game! this could be a good board game in real life!
Fun game with cute and functional graphics. I played for a lot longer than I expected I would. Great job! (But, are they biscuits or scones? :-)
there were some miscommunication with my artist there hahaha.
it was supposed to be biscuit and gravy kind of biscuit.
I liked the tutorial part, simple and informative. I'm not a fan of card games, but I had a good time playing this game.
really nice game
This is a really cool game! I love all the polish on everything and the card shuffling animation is epic. The music is also really good. It was super fun to risk pulling another card so I can hopefully reach the target score. This was the highest I got:
Pretty good entry, just maybe too rng dependent
Such a solid game, being lover of card games this one really stand out!
This was a pretty solid game! I liked a lot the gameloop of it and how you can modify the decks to change the chances of things happening on your run. It really suits the theme very well and every time it's very risky. Good job!
I'm not great at card games. I'm more of a puzzle guy myself. But I still enjoyed it. I think this is the first card game I've seen when rating submissions. Overall a good game. Well done.
Pretty fun! Didn't get very far since I'm terrible at probablility stuff, but it's very good at what it sets out to do. Nice entry!
Nice work! I only got to level 5 :)
Quite a good entry! I got to stage 11. After a few runs, I decided to keep adding cards to one deck and applied some modifiers to it, and went the furthest. In one run, wanting to change strategy, I clicked fast in the deck. I think a bomb exploded while cards were in the air, and it crashed. But other than that, it run smoothly. A very complete game, quite polished, and fun gameplay that seems balanced. Congratulations!
The game perfectly embodies the jam game theme. I only got to level 7, but I was frequently hit by bombs... maybe luck wasn't on my side yet... :D
There was one thing that caused the game to crash. When I pressed the cards too quickly at the beginning, while the cards were still shuffling, I was hit by bombs twice, and the game crashed. Overall, good job!
I swear I am the unluckiest in the game like this. My high score never exceed 100 TT. As a gambler this is a blast. Good job for summiting this into the game jam!
Haaaa, got a pritty high score in my first attempt! I ended up putting almost all my upgrades in the first deck and mostly draw from it.
I like the music and art style of this game. I also really like the gameplay (can't help myself - I enjoy these simple gambling games), reminded me a bit of the voltorb flip minigame in pokemon hgss.
Some suggestion: I think the game would look better if you could use the same font for the UI buttons as you used for the panels and instructions. I am not sure if I am correct, but maybe the bombs are too punishing as the same amount of bombs is kept in the deck - as once recieving a bomb in one deck, the deck looses a lot of value. Not sure how to change it though.
Overall, I really like your game!
Haha highest score I ever seen! haha (without using exploits)
very fun, almost addictive gameplay, slick and polished UI, very cute art and nice fitting music. Absolutely loved it!
But then disaster happened and I was blown up by bombs.
