  • This looks pretty amazing, the art is awesome and the game looks awesome, but I had some bugs that made impossible for me to finish the game, on the first level with portals, after I clicked the portals, I could not restart the level anymore. Other than that, this is a great game!

Which parts of the game did YOU create BEFORE the jam STARTED?
Nothing at all

How was your jamming experience? Did you enjoy the theme? Were you able to produce more or less than you expected?
At first I didn't like the theme, now i'm okay with it but there are other themes I would've like more... I was able to create A LOT more than I expected, i'm really happy with this game!

I provided most of my feedback on discord.  Besides some bugs and UI issues the game presented nice visuals and good puzzles.

Huuu, I understood nearly nothing, really, I destroyed an enemy with a fireball, I placed a card on the field, punched and enemy but I couldn't pass my turn or do anything significant… I must be stupid or something.
I don't see the black and white theme, nor the puzzle :/ Maybe it's totally a misunderstanding.

The goal is to kill the enemy cards in one turn, normally you can reset at the top... I know this game lacks a tutorial, hoped the game will be like "learn as you go" but yeah... failed at that, the black and white theme was a game mechanic added to later levels, there will be portals that go to the dark realm but it's hard to explain.... Thank you for playing though!

I feel sad to failed at understanding it, because it is clearly something cool

Developer

Naah, don't be! It's my fault for making it so unclear

Nice work. I was able to make it to the end. Although I did have the glitch where you can't restart on the first level with the dark portal. Sadly that gets really frustrating as it takes a bit of trial and error to figure out how to use the portal, which means playing through again after reloading. Once I understood it, the puzzles really came together. I think the main thing needed is a better way to make the player understand how the portal works. Great job.

It's weird why that portal level glitches out, i'm sorry for that :( I still don't know what causes it but thank you for playing! Hope you somewhat enjoyed it!

Definitely enjoyed it. I played Magic for years and this felt a lot like the old puzzle problems that people would make.

It's a fun concept, but even as someone who plays Hearthstone and similar, it was hard to understand what to do at first. And then when I reached the dark portal level, it started glitching out and I couldn't restart or continue!

Developer

Yeah, I hoped the game would be clear without real tutorial but I guess it's better to do that in the future! And  yeah for some reason that portal level is bugged but still can't figure out why D: but I hope you still enjoyed the game, thank you for playing!
