Fun little game. I really like the art and sound design.
Really good game once you take 7 minutes to understand the game. Art, sound and mood were excellent. Good job noa!
Great art and mood, as always! The UX is especially polished, with a lot of juiciness for each actions.
I find the core mechanics really interesting. there's an interesting balance to find between spending magic, health, having more dices... However, too often I felt into (apparently) un-winnable situations. A bad hand of cards, either none that would grant me magic where I need it, or on the contrary when I have a lot of magic only cards that deal damage without healing, or several turns without having any dices, etc... This kind of game-design can be very tricky to balance! I was eventually able to survive for a while, but was for from being able to beat the game.
Which I regret a bit, because it is very fun to play! I don't know if it needs to be so much fast-paced. on one hand I loved the rush of the actions, and having to take decisions quickly. But on the other end I would often panic and feel like I'm stuck with only bad options. I still enjoyed it though, it has the potential to be a very solid card game. Good job!
说实话，我没有阅读您的评论，但我正在尝试阅读它们，因为我必须阅读！我有责任毫不犹豫地完成它！ Btw Helpful comment
To be honest, i dont even understand how to play, but i love the atmosphere.
Would appreciate a fullscreen option, as i have a 2560p screen and 1920p is just a floating window that covers around 66% of the screen, and that kinda ruins the immersion.
Tough as nails, but an excellent entry nonetheless.
As always, love your art. And the gameplay was interesting enough to be enjoyable.
Very nice art style !
I enjoy the atmosphere and then I knew it was Blackthornprod :O
Thank you for your youtube videos.
I loved art and atmosphere! great job!
by the way could you play and rate my game?
I didn’t really understand the mechanics, but I loved your art style)
Blackthornprod always creates masterpieces on an artistic level, GG Noa.
Yo, really creative use of the theme. It was interesting to play a dice and card game at the same time, essentially. Art and audio are also top notch again. Only wish the narrative was a little bit more more explained in the beginning. Why am I doing this? Who am I? Why do I have these dice?
Lol, the second I saw the thumbnail I recognized the developer.
The game looks and sounds amazing as always, I especially love this game's style with lots of black and grey. Unfortunately, the gameplay is a bit lacking. There isn't much instruction on how to play so it took a while to figure out. Once I did it was more interesting, but it feels impossible to really do anything without being super lucky. Sometimes the only cards available will be self-hurting ones so there's nothing I can do. I would suggest maybe having a safeguard against this in the code or something. Also, it would've been nice to see a representation of the moon's health so I can see my progress. But even with the questionable gameplay, the graphics and audio alone make this game really good.
Amazing visuals as always :)
It took me a moment to understand the mechanics but I managed to extinguish the moon
Overall awesome production
I relay like your art style. Game look really good and it's polished with juicy sounds effects and climatic music, but lacks content and from the beginning I didn't now how to play.
The art is out of this world { maybe on the moon }
The gameplay however seems very interesting, I played around for a couple of minutes trying to figure out how to effectively play but sadly I didn't get the hook. That Art tho... oh my, so good.
Absolutely stunning art and atmosphere. However I approached this game as an interesting puzzle when you need to manage your health, mana and dice, but it's very hard to, when you're constantly loosing health.
I liked the game! However, the buzzing noise was really annoying. For a second I thought it was my PC fan.
Nice Art looks really good. But not able to win the game.
Really loved the art and effects.
Note : I am one of your subscriber. I really like your arts.
The atmosphere is incredible. Took us a while to figure out how it works but we were so immersed the whole time we enjoyed every moment. Super cool game. Super cool world.
Cool visuals but the gameplay isn't much enjoyable :/
