In what way does your game fit the theme?
You must use cards together in order to defeat the Evil Magma ghost!

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all code myself, and am very proud of it!

For the assets, I bought some assets and found some. This Jam allowed that. I did not have any time left to make assets sadly. I hope that is okay.

That was a fun concept, and I enjoyed playing it! The mechanics were well thought out and put together, all-in-all. The music I think let the game down somewhat, as it didn't match the visual tone of what was being seen. Other than that, good work :)

Really interesting concept dude! took a little bit to figure out so next time id add a tutorial but it was really fun trying different builds and seeing what worked. More card variants would be nice but overall really really solid game

Hey thanks for the play and review! Yeah I wish i had time to do more of what you suggested, but this was a great learning experience for next time. Thanks for stopping by :D

The game was a little bit confusing at start but actually very easy to understand.

Card game is the kind of game I never expected playing in this jam.

Good job, fun game.

Developer

Hey thanks man! yeah I should have made things a bit more clear, good to keep in mind for next time! thank you for taking the time to review my game :D

This was an interesting game, and definitely a well done base for a card game.  Though I can definitely tell it was unfinished, moreso content wise than anything.  For your first jam though it's a really solid base.  I'll have to see what you make with a few more jams under your belt.  The graphics were pretty good and the game has a pretty responsive and usable card system.  Though I think you might be able to game the system a bit by holding cards on screen, I didn't really get to testing it too much.

Really fun to play game. Would love to see some more monsters to battle and different game play mechanics added to the cards besides just drawing more cards. I really enjoyed how clean and intuitive the UI was also.

Very interesting and well polished game! Really like the animation work and the UI , i like that you can allocate points to specialize in certain things which makes it a lot more unique and offers variety in the gameplay, it is a little tough to learn none the less but still a great game for only a week in development. Good job!

Hey thank you! I really wanted to implement a few more things that cards could do, but i just ran out of time. I appreciate your feedback!

I like what you did with this, it has elements of a TCG, but you boiled the system down to its bare essence for something that could fit into a game jam. Great job keeping this in scope and still keeping it fun, and I love how you incorporated the assets together from (what I assume) are difference sources, it blends together really well!

Here’s my game if you want to check it out.

Hey there! Thank you so much for the play! It's my first game jam so i was worried everyone was going to ream me pretty hard, but so far the whole community has been very supportive and constructive. Thank you for adding to my love of this jam with your review!

very good game. I am amazed to see such a good card game in a game jam. A huge bravo. 

The mechanics are complex but easily understandable and once well mastered it's really fun. The art direction is really well done and it's consistent with the game. 

Congratulations. 

Developer

 I wish I had more time to give it some more polish, but I am glad that I just got a playable game in on my first Jam. I appreciate the review, thank you!
