Really fun, loved it!

Developer

Glad to hear it! Thanks!

Amazing game, I loved the gameplay, the use of the cards and the sprites. 
There is just one thing that holds this game back and that is that this game gets repetitive pretty fast. Maybe adding more enemies the further you get would help with that.

Over all a very good game, especially considering you only had 72 hours.

Thanks so much! And I actually didn't even get started until day 2, so 48 hours, but who's counting? haha! ;) Thanks for playing and commenting!

Liked it, a bit hard with mouse controls, maybe if you made each card slot is a letter like "A,S,D,F and G" would feel better. Otherwise art is cool and it's much fun. keep going ^^

Developer

Agreed. That's a great idea! Thanks for playing and commenting!

Great entry! I really enjoyed it, Im doing video feedback if yee intrested

Developer(+1)

Wow, I'm honored! I thoroughly enjoyed watching that entire video! I'm thrilled that you played it for so long! You got pretty good, which was impressive for playing with a mouse/PC. I'm glad you later figured out that it was intended for mobile. It becomes a whole different experience when you can play multiple actions at once. ;) And I'm also glad you figured out the scoring system. As for playing with one card, I find it to be a fun challenge to go as far as I can on the last card, especially since that's when you get the most points!

I agree I should add keyboard inputs, and explain the points system in the instructions, as well as smaller point values.

And yes, the little guy is a doom reference! (He also sorta looks like the Master Chief, haha)

Thanks for making this video!

No problemo, it was easier to make this video than it is too make games!

And here is the gamejam's winner. Great job, the game was well polished in all aspects, arts, sound and mechanics!


As feedback, the cards shuffle sometimes are a little unfair, nothing that a little balance with the shuffle shouldn't handle.

Now speaking about the UI, the cards are a little too big, it's kinda hard to switch fast between one another. Using keyboard for cards usage and making it a little smaller should do the trick.

Congratulations!

Developer

Oh my, thanks! haha!

Currently it's just a 1/3 chance for any of the 3 cards to show up. Perhaps some built-in luck mitigation to ensure a card shows up in no more than X draws?

The game was really designed with mobile phone play in mind, hence the large cards. I should have included keyboard bindings to play with the number keys for PC.

Thanks for playing and commenting!

graphics, sound design, and concept are excellent. The game's just a bit too hard for me :)

Man was this nice! I really liked the concept and as someone mentioned i do feel like it will work on mobile, as for pc i think it would be better if you could use keybinds instead of clicking them imo.

Developer

Ah shoot, that's a great idea! Don't know why I didn't think to make it work ideal for all platforms! Thanks for the feedback!

Super interesting concept and I can definitely see it working well on mobile. The web version was a bit too fast paced for me...

Developer

Thanks for trying it out!

It was hard to see due to the cards at the bottom of the screen and when you have 2 cards or less you're  basically dead because of the randomness of the cards you get. 
Really smart use of the limitation and nice concept.

Developer

Yeah, I wanted it to feel like "hell" when you get hurt too much, but reward you by having 5x points multiplier to make the most of any last seconds you survive with 1 card :) Thanks for playing!

I really liked the pixelart! Overall nice game.

Developer

Glad to hear it! Thanks!

Very nice take on the limitation and I found myself getting incredibly frustrated (in a good way) when I had to rapidly choose what card I wanted to use :)

Developer

Haha that's awesome to hear! Thanks for playing, rating, and commenting!

Quite a nice way to use the card mechanics!

Developer

Thanks! :)

Great game, enjoyed it ...nice use of the limitation!

Thanks! I appreciate that!

I really liked the concept of the game!

Developer

Thanks!

I like how you use the limitation. 

I think of auto runner with action card too when I see the limitation but I toss that idea away because I can't think of a way to make it fun. 

Developer

Thanks! I was worried about the idea but just "ran" with it until I was able to find something that worked.

Fun game! I played it in the browser and had some difficulty clicking the cards fast enough at first, but got used to it pretty quickly.

Developer

Yeah definitely designed with mobile in mind, but thanks for playing and commenting!

Submitted(+1)

Cool concept! I played on web, but I can see how it'd definitely be better/easier to play on mobile. I'll have to give a shot! Liked the art too!

Developer

Glad you liked it! Yeah it's way easier to do much better in the game when you can tap multiple actions at once, like a fast jump shoot or dash jump etc. :)

Submitted(+1)

Dang, that's really fast-paced haha. I love it. Great work

Developer(+1)

Awesome! Thanks!

Very unique use of the ideas presented, fast paced and fun.

Developer

Thanks for the comment!

For best experience, download the Android apk file on the game page! Multi-touch support is ideal!
