Cool small scoped card game! I liked the cards that increased the effects of other cards, but it took a bit too long until I drew them. The turns felt just a little bit slow. Great work overall!

Thank you!

I liked the way you included the theme in a card game. I liked the looping mechanics and the cart effects. On my device the only problem I met was that the cards were small with a small text. Still, I enjoyer your game.

Developer

Thank you! We did notice a difference for people with varying resolutions. Unfortunately, we did not have time to fix that. Thanks for playing :D

I always love me some card games, though I've previously found they are pretty hard to get right during a jam. This one did a decent job with a good number of interesting cards, though some cards certainly seem quite a bit stronger than others (looking at you, Double Down, especially if you can increase its effect). I also had the cards trigger in the wrong order a couple of times unfortunately. Other than that, pretty impressed with what you've done in the short time, good job!

Developer

Thank you so much! It means a lot that you played the game :)

I liked it how the cards activated every time but I had really bad luck in drawing cards. My enemy got 2 double effects card and incrase amount so their one card did 18 dmg to me. But that shows it not a simple card game. It actually has depth. Optimize the flow but great game nontheless.

Developer

Thank you! RNG has a big role, we might tweak it to have less randomization in the future!

Great job! Love the fresh take on a card game. Some of the juicy synergies felt good to pull off. Highly replayable :)

Developer

Thank you!! :)

Really cool card game concept – such a fresh take on the theme!
Just two small notes: the late-game opponent animations drag out turns a bit, and the RNG sometimes feels overly swingy.
Still, awesome work overall!

Thank you for the kind words. At the later stages, we also felt it dragged out, but we did not have time to optimize this. Thanks for playing! :D 

I really like the concept! Really satisfying to pull off some huge numbers with double down lol

Developer

Thanks a lot! :D

Submitted

Cool game! And the art is really nice : ) 

Developer

Thank you! Kind words :D

Developer

Developer

Thank you :)

As someone who also made a looping-card game, I really enjoyed playing yours.

Developer

Thank you! I will try out yours

Submitted

Good game idea, but the UI scale is a little bit confused.

Developer

Yeah true we had trouble with the UI :)

Submitted

Great game.. I like the graphics... but the card descriptions are hard to read when you have to scroll through them in a small window.. overall good job :)

Developer

Yeah they should properly be larger. Thanks for playing though 

Submitted

I got caught with a pretty bad board state and couldn't rly get rid of the less useful cards. So much for the heart of the cards :<

Developer

I'm sorry you got so unlucky! How would you make the "getting rid of the less useful cards" system? :D

Submitted

Such a nice concept, I like the idea of the looping card game. Wish it was a bit faster tho, cause it takes a while to draw some damage cards sometimes

Developer

Thank you :) Time has been a big limiter for us!
