good could be better if the joker moves faster

very good! i like the idea and the overall progression :)

one slightly fiddly thing i've experienced is the somewhat-unpredictable behaviour in the moment you progress to the next card - it seems like you have a 50% chance to get damaged by cards you're supposed to be collecting, and the same chance to be damaged by cards that are now of the same type as you. though it might be that i'm misunderstanding something :D

overall, great effort!

Thanks man! Yes I've noticed that too but I submited it like that so when Trijam ends I will fix that bug!

Great game! The gameplay is easy to understand and fun and visuals really cool. Just for the theme of the gamejam, maybe it could be better to give more importance to the king and queen 👍

Nicely done! Sometimes the detection is wrong - i lost life by picking a 6 when i was a 5 (and the 6 was shown top right) but still it didn’t count - but well… small bugs are normal in that tiny time frame!

You did a good job - was fun!

Developer

Thank you a lot! I did notices that but it was late to fix it. I think it some stupid check that I skiped but it is what it is now. I will try to fix that when Jam is finished

Love me a good card game! Great job implementing a solid game loop in the time frame. Simple to understand, fluid controls.

Developer

Idea is nice, altough leveling up could happen sooner. I think I did make it to the king, but died on very next card, so I'm not sure did I win or not :D

Developer

Now when you said that I assume it's my check if card should hurt you checking if card == player_level + 1 and when you reach king there is no bigger card than that and all other cards kill you. Will make that right, and add "You became a King" screen instead of Game Over.

Same As Drentsoft Game Ltd Says its really nice but that bug is kinda making me nervos and still i think that we should be able to take the lower cards not only a higher rank by 1 so its kinda weird 

i really like the art Nice Job 

Developer(+1)

That only card that are 1 rank higher it was intended because I was afraid it would be too easy to play. But now when you suggested it maybe I could make 2 modes one original idea and one with something like that.

Interesting idea! It took me a few goes to work out what I was actually meant to be doing because I missed the "chase this card" prompt. Once I realised that, it was pretty fun! I think there might be one mini little bug where you have to collect one extra of the previous ranked card before you can collect the one shown in the prompt so it goes "Prompt - 2" - 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 "Prompt -3" 2, 3, 3, 3 etc instead of "Prompt - 2" - 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 "Prompt -3" 3, 3, 3, 3. It's not a huge problem though and doesn't seem to happen EVERY time. At first I thought it was like a nice "grace" one but I'm not sure now 😅 I like the art and sound.

Thanks for feedback! I noticed that a bit late :D I submitted for Jam and after that I played couple of turns and saw that leveling problem. But I didn't wanna change nothing because this is how I submitted it. When Jam ends I will try to fix that and make it easier to notice what is goal of the game. Thanks again!
