Nice short and sweet little card game. I like the premise of the girls just chilling and passing time with a card game, music was a nice fit for that as well. Nice art too, both on the character sprites and the cards. It was satisfying to win by the power of cheating! In an expanded version it would be funny if the opponent used powers too, though probably would need a more elaborate card game.

I'm not too much into cards games and it was luck based. hopefully there was special actions. but it was fun.

Must say I love this submission. It is very well made and the game is very fun too -- although it is almost entirely luck based (altho due to the abilities it is easy). Very well done.

I didn't think I would see the concept of Magical Girl being used simply for cheating lol -- the creativity is out of the roof.

So yeah. One very amazing submission here.

In the first round, because there are no special action buttons. I actually thought this is the mechanic for whole game. But then i see those special action buttons in second round ,and the game starts getting interesting. Maybe it should skip the first round? However, even with special actions, the game is still fully based on luck. 

To make it more strategtic, I would suggest that, the player should see his own next card (and the cards throw out when tie). "Shuffle" is a special action. And there is a "neutralize" action just to neutralize the opponent's special action. (yes, the AI should have special actions too) With the suggested mechanic, i would expect player may has this strategic. 
1. if the card is low, use "equal" action to trigger a tie (for luck), or "exchange" to trick the enemy
2. if the card is mid, player may use "+3" to boost his chance
3. if the card is high, and AI has some special move in hand, player may use "shuffle" to keep the high card, or "neutralize" to make sure nothing changes.
4. if not have enough cards, use the "neutralize"  to avoid opponent use "equal" to trigger a tie forcing you to throw out your last cards
5. if opponent wants to use "equal",  use "+3" to win the cards( "+3" effect is after the "equal" effect)

Ah, maybe each characters can have their own set of special actions

Just some random ideas. 

First things first, the card art is great! It really stands out and elevates the whole package.

The audio works well enough, though the music does get a bit repetitive. I appreciated that it stayed light and happy though, considering the premise of the game is that you're killing time waiting for something more exciting to happen.

The gameplay itself... is War. The first round took painfully long. I'm glad I stuck it out though, because I did like the following rounds! Adding the abilities was cool, and made it feel more engaging.

Nice work! Considering all the neat MG designs on the cards, I'd love to see you do a game that featured more of these girls!

So, it's a mahou shoujo version of the classic card game of Battle. A game that's known for often dragging on, and for being completely based on luck and devoid of strategy. Or so I thought until the second game began. OK, it's still not very tactical. The abilities you get make your victory almost statistically guaranteed. I'm just imagining what would happen if your opponent also had special abilities, and maybe a hand of ability cards... This is so close to being its own card battle game.

But the mediocre gameplay is not why I like this game. It's the cards. All the face cards have their own unique magical girl designs, which are all beautiful and somehow still very cardlike. The two girls that are playing are in fact a pair of Jacks from the deck they are playing with! This is such a cool concept, you could do a lot with the 16 total characters you have, while exploring the dynamic of them being cards at the same time. You even have them in a hierarchy already. I seriously hope you make some games, write some stories, do anything with these characters.

I really like this entry, to be honest mostly for the potential in the ideas and designs, but nevertheless I think you've done something really special.

Okay for such a simple concept that was waaaaaaaaaaay to fun. The music was very catchy and the cards looked fantastic!! Great job. 

The intro is a bit meta, but the concept of this game is actually pretty good.

I didn't realize there were abilities the first time I played this. I think the biggest flaw in this game is that the first round can go on forever if the RNG goes a certain way (I ended up restarting) and you never even see the abilities. It really should be scripted to go a certain way, or something. Until I read the other comments I'd kind of dismissed this game as barely even a game at all.

I do like that the game continues whether you win or lose, which makes sense given the context.

The art is really nice. I love the playing cards with magical girls on them, it's cute and charming and works perfectly for this game and this jam. The music is nice, but it did get annoying after a while, so it might be a good idea to change tracks between rounds.

I second the suggestion of having the girls' expressions change as they win or lose; that would be a cool addition.

it is pretty funny to submit an game literally called one of the themes haha. Well... in the end it's a card game based on chance. I don't know if the original is balanced this way but it seems like the probability curve for whoever has more cards is always higher right? I didn't know what the abilities did. The card art was nice and sort of hinted at a greater universe, and as someone who also ended up with Playing Card Magical Girls, I appreciated their designs.

The music was sort of driving me crazy after about 5 minutes of clicking though.

The first game took me like half an hour so I thought this was just a battle game with a magical girl. It's only when reading the other's comments I realized there were abilities later (does that make us a cheater for using magic in a card game?)

The abilities change the flow of the game completely, and since this isn't multiplayer they just make it less frustrating. 

also, the arts and music were nice.

pretty fun, I spent more time on it than I expected.

Pretty cool illustrations. I would love to see them animated even a tiny bit or change perhaps as a reaction to the hand. I thought it was great how the characters were incorporated into the deck. I do want to see more of them. It seems like the characters were a wallpaper for an already solid card game system. I feel a little embarrassed to say I don't know how to play this game. I just know to click on the card and it deals a new hand but I can't tell if I'm winning, losing or what I should be doing. The card game by itself is very slick.

Making the player play a full game of War to get to the abilities is a bold strategy. I'd maybe consider a few scripted hands to show how things work, I spent nearly 15 minutes clicking through that first game before finally losing. I'm glad I did though, because I like your other girl designs, and the abilities add much needed interactivity to the game.

I'm not sure if its intentional, but using the Equals ability into the +3 at the end of the war let me slice through the entire rest of the game in less time than the first game, while I'm not sure when I'd ever use the switch ability, as I'm not planning on card counting in War. 

I'd suggest adding some abilities such as "look at the top card of your deck, choose to discard or not", or "force opponent to redraw their card". Some happiness/sadness facial expressions for when the girls win/lose wouldn't go astray either.

War is a pretty good template to build a small card game from, don't be afraid to bend the game as far as you can.
