Beat easy mode first try, then jumped into regular mode, pacing felt on point (which is hard to nail)! Really creative ideas packed into this game. Love the sound effects and art, they really bring it to life!
Thanks for playing! Glad to hear it was well paced I did my best to emulate slay the spire and wildfrost fight lengths so I'm luckily thats seems to have paid off!
Oh there's some really neat ideas in here! I liked being able to over-heal/pre-heal, and I liked having to work to keep my pals alive (until I Biblical Greeded them to death lol.) Very fun!
Thanks for playing. Im glad you enjoyed!
Great game! I had fun with it.
A bit hard to get into at first but was able to understand quickly. Was able to defeat normal mode on my first try. May return to this game for hard mode 😆
The gameplay itself got a good bit of variety to it and some good amount of strategic depth, so I like that. The metagame map is also pretty cool, but some events just give you a straight rare cards haha. I understand it might not have been in the scope of a game jam to expand the events further.
I love the chunky fighting sound effects. Art is ok overall. The game lags a bit for me on some section, like the difficulty selection screen. Some of the cards also got their stats number mixed up, so I was always a bit confused of what stats a card supposed to have. having icons next to the numbers would have been nice.
Overall I thought this was a really solid entry. Great job!
Thanks for playing! Glad to hear it wasnt too complicated. Yeah the event / non combat spaces are just cards you cant get anywhere else because i didnt have time for a shop or random events, ect. Ah yeah I reused one of my old Unity URP shader graphs for that scene which was likely not well made and was probably too resource intensive (i think i also used it a bit in the combat scene and the lose game scene). Yeah I need to find a system for adding symbols into text that would have def help with that! Thanks for the feedback!
Super fun game. I'm really bad at card games like those but this one is simple and easy enough. Love that it's not overcomplicated lol Could spend quite a lot of time here lol
Thanks for playing! im glad you enjoyed! I tried my best not to make too many mechanics to avoid over complication!
Really like the pal system, it has a lot of potential to expand on the interactions with the pals, like giving them "friendship" mechanics that buff the neighbors, giving them "buffs" like hats and such. very nice!
Yeah there's a lot you can do with the system! Games like wildfrost and inscription do it wonderfully which is what inspired me to make this game!
Good job! The 3 slots to place new pals or buff existant ones are a good idea, I liked that.
Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed!
Good game, I liked the idea of some cards. The hard mode almost made me lose, I really underestimated. great job!
Very fun! i I killed so many henyas NotLikeThis
This is an actually solid card rogelike playloop. The feeling of "holding" cards and the effects are great, it's an extremely good feeling for a jam.
Thanks for playing! I'm glad to hear that!
OMG, Is this inspired by Inscryption?!! Love this game, absolutely 5/5
Yup its inspired by both inscription and wildfrost! Thanks for playing!
My turn, draw, Monsutaa kaaddo! This game will make you feel like a duelist with spikey hair.
Glad you enjoyed!
Really fun game and replayable game, good art and music, good job, I had fun and I won after a second try!
Thanks for playing!
Nice gameplay and love the art (especially the well drawn henya)
Would love if you can double-click on the card to add or remove from play
Thanks for playing! I did the best i could with my lack of art skills lol. I'll be sure to include that in my next card game thats a great idea!
really cool, managed to beat the regular mode! Would be cool to see some bosses summoning their own minions too, as they felt very strong to use, especially when they dealt damage as well as tanked for you, while the pure damage spells left you open to attack. loved it overall, nice job!
Thanks for playing! Yeah the first time i tried making this type of game i did that but it was a little confusing to communicate to the player so i'll try my best to find some middle ground between the two!
Really well done! Some of the dynamic movement of the cards was a bit distracting and I found the game a bit easy, but it was very fun.
Thanks for playing! When was the card movement distracting? Im curious because thats the first ive heard of that so I'll do my best to avoid it in the future!
They're little things, but when you click on a card it moves to be cetred on your cursor, pulling a card out of your hand makes the other cards wiggle a bit, when you highlight a card the spread of the hand changes. Lots of little things. When I went back to check it didn't seem bad at all, but when I was immersed it pulled me out a bit.
ah ok gotcha a lot of those things were intentional but ill look into it and find better ways to handle those interactions! thanks for pointing that out!
Nice work! I liked the card concept
Thanks for playing and im glad you enjoyed! Let me know if ya got any criticism so I can improve if you got time!
I love deck building games! Fun and unique and easy to understand.
Thanks for playing! I was a bit worried about new player on-boarding so I'm glad to hear it went well for you!
Pretty fun game! Would love to get an expanded version
Thanks! Yeah I may make a improved / revamped version next year!
Love this one! reminds me of Inscryption.
Thanks for playing! Yeah i really like games like inscription and wildfrost for ally based deckbuilding games so those were my main inspirations!
A very fun deck builder! I really enjoyed the references. A little confusing to grasp at the beginning but, but pretty fun once I understood. Well done!
Thanks for playing! Yeah i would have liked to have a full tutorial but I got too sick to keep working on it lol. Glad you enjoyed it despite the rough start!
