I notice a certain affinity in our ideas, even in my game you throw cards to eliminate enemies. Did you create all the assets? In any case good work.

Developer

Thank you! I'll check yours out when I get a chance! 

Sadly, no, I'm not that talented at 3D modeling. The only asset that I made was the robot.

I really love this game, its quite fun, it starts off slow but as you build your poker hands and chamber them in your gun, its gets utterly ridiculous and I'm all for that. The concept of this is awesome, and the arena looks pretty cool, the controls do their job fine but could be improved.

Things I noticed that could be improved: More feedback, such as showing how many possible hands you have, making it clear that a round has started, etc. Also the difficulty is too easy, I would love for harder enemies to spawn in later rounds like even just enemies with double, quadruple health, so that I could really test my gun combo out on them. Also a bug I found is that after a certain number of hand size upgrades, the chip cost no longer get subtracted from the player's chips.

Really enjoyed killing these silly poker bots, the map is a nice arena, the lighting is good though illuminating the hand when its up could be useful. I got to wave 10 then quit but it was awesome :^)

Thank you so much! 

There were definitely several things I wanted to add but had to cut for time. I would have loved to flesh out the shop more and make it deduct chips consistently lol
