Nice concept. I couldn't understand mechanics at the beginning. It's creative mixing shadow theme and card genre.
sorry the card selection is really finicky. You have to stay hovered on the card in your hand until it stops scaling up, then you can click-and-drag onto a spot in the middle!
Cool concept and art, but I don't quite understand the game mechanics 🙈
Could you please update the submission page or comment here with some explanation of the rules, like when am I supposed to place cards and when do they get removed? What are shadows that I receive? Why is my health bar (seemingly) filling up when the enemy attacks?
Thank you in advance :)
Thanks for the feedback, yes I just added more info on the rules. The "health meter" is supposed to be the "shadow meter", which if fully filled is the loss condition. The monster randomly attacks and removes cards, as well as moves the lantern. Cards have different effects if they are in the light or dark. Unfortunately the font being screwed up on the export makes it impossible to know what some cards do... Should have exported prior to 10 minutes before jam ends :D
Haha alright I got it now, thank you :D Yes, I also noticed some bugs during my first export and was so glad that I didn't wait until my game was "finished" (or time was up)... xD Anyway, very cool game, keep it up :)
Wow this game is so scary and great!
Woah ur so right I agree 1000%
