How does the game fit the theme?
You are required to take more risk to gain more health in order to defeat more enemies. Blackjack fits this theme perfectly as a game that requires you to take risks in order to reap the rewards on the other side. Risking health for even more health down the line.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Background Shader (Mix and Jam), Card Rotation Logic (Mix and Jam), Music (Musinova, I did some audio editing in audacity to it), Card Sounds (signaturesounds).

solitaire but in a interesting way
The vibes are off the charts! The visuals and the music blend in so well. The gameplay is simple for now but its a great start. Great job! Would love to see you expend on this
The game is really cool giving you Balatro vibes.
I had some issues with the screen size in the web version. I assume there is no issue in the downloadable one (see below).
Also it was not totally clear to me after finishing the "boss" it just continues or continues by restarting from the beginning ?
Overall I really liked it and am looking forward if there is something more coming after the Jam regarding this game.
Great work.
the game needs to be full screen in order for the screen to appear properly scaled which i should make clear in the description for now (i made the web export last second when i realised nobody wanted to download something from here (me either))
and yes for now the game just restarts (to the beginning of the map) once you beat the last enemy due to me not having the time to do all of the implementation i wanted to :(
thanks for the review :3
Unfortunately in full screen it was the same. But I assume download version has no such issues.
Thanks 👍
did you use F11 or the one in the bottom right of the unity window?
I tried again today and this time it seems to work (used the one on bottom right. so nevermind ;)
I think the game's got a lot of potential, its a great idea but lacking in game feel.
As a fellow Balatro lover, I loved this game!! It definitely captures the vibe of it while still being super unique! Good job :))
Fun game! It would be cool if I could also learn how to count cards while playing.
i've actually been planning on creating an item similar which would assist the player in doing so :D
Feels simple and fun and well balanced. The only way I think it could be improved is with more sound effects for better game juice
pretty nice idea , i enjoyed
This game is awesome! I have been having a lot of fun playing it. I got 2 back to back Blackjacks in the strong fite and it was super satisfying! Great job!
Simple and sweet, and you did a great job at giving the game that polished Balatro-like appearance. Would love to see what this is like once you implement those items and modifiers!
Nice blackjack like balatro game, unfortunately I'm so bad at gambling so even while having some blackjack experience I got stomped quite hard. The game looks very polished though congrats on your submission!
Good game, it's entertaining
This is really fun, obviously inspired by Balatro but it delivers that same juicy feeling that Balatro does. I do wish the enemy could draw to 16, though - maybe I'm missing something, but any time the enemy has a low card you can just stand knowing they can't ever outdraw you. Cool game, on theme!

Quite fun already, I think with some more Balatro features it'll be amazing. Good job!
