  • While card games are fun, and it's always a treat learning combinations and strategies for me, I felt that only one part of the themes were used while playing. The various combinations that were possible and how they would affect play style and strategy were a nice touch to the overall gameplay, but the use of shadow didn't seem apparent at all for my experience playing. While I may want to see how shadow would fit into the overall game you've put together, I do feel what was presented was fun to play (again, I am quite the fan of card games). All the same, keep up the good work.

Tell us about your game!
its a card game where you have base elemental cards(earth,wind,fire,water) and you can combine them to make new cards ith different stats,i have some lore in my head where you are like a student in an alchemy school and this is the game they play to decide who is stronger

Extra Notes
there was supposed to be a whole shadow card mechanic with special cards that cost more to use but are very strong unfortunately i didnt manage to finish it

Hey, fun little Cardgame. I liked the simplicity but maybe a hoverUI could help explain the differences between the elemental cards? Nicely done!

Sick little card game!

  • Simple and clean art style that gets the job done
  • Sweet mechanics that are easy to pick up
  • Would love more element combinations, new elements, 3rd and 4th level combos to ramp things up!
  • Would you keep things simple or try to flesh it out with flashy card animations, art etc.?
  • Would love to duel with some crunchy 8-bit beats in the background!
  • It just works :)

Overall, I was able to get into it right away and it was great fun. Excellent work!

I had fun when I played this game. Good job! But I would like to see more combinations and rebalancing some combinations, like wall.

Love it, really elegant! i think it already has a really good foundation i can see this being expanded in a more complete game. Good job!
PD: We also have elemental cards in our game, so i had to check this out :P 

This game has good bones! With more base cards and more interactions (maybe 2nd tier interactions?), this could go from a fun little game to a fun big game!

Fun, simple card game with mixing elements that sum up the power. I like how the cards change their appearance based on what you mix. Nicely done ! GG

A very simple but well designed game. The cards look great and the merging mechanic was really cool. 

I would have liked more variety and it felt too easy to get energy to just steamroll merges a little later but overall it was fun :)

Developer

yeah i definitely should have put more thought into balancing and playtesting and you know how it is with the time limitations,well i'il take that as a lesson for next time,thanks for playing it realy means alot!

Neat game! The mechanics are simple yet fun. The enemy AI is pretty easy to beat though. But the game has good polish as well. Godd work!

Nice sound design! Combining elements was cool as well. Not sure what element beat what and the AI was a little silly, otherwise nice work and I hope you keep it up!

Developer

i toned down the difficulty because i thought people would find it harder than i do but i guess i was wrong😅anyways thanks for playing <3
