This is a great concept and would love to see more ways the player can get involved strategically.

Awesome idea and concept, and great game! It'd be cool to see other poker hands being counted, like flushes or straights, but it's still fun to strategise.

I dont really get how game counts points, I had 4 rows of flushes but game didn't count them... Beside that great idea!

Thanks for playing! I’m not really a poker player so I had to research how to score and I’m sure I got some stuff wrong 😅

Really cool concept that had me thinking! I'm not sure the wild cards work as you intended - I had a row of 4 aces and a wild card that seemed to count as a high card only which was confusing. Could use some more fleshed out sound design, but I really like the concept!

Thank you! I'm still learning the PICO-8 sound creator so just did some simple sfx and gave up on music in favor of keeping the 3 hours lol

Gameplay was well thought out, the visuals were appropriate and looked great for the time given, sound fx meshed well, and the game fit the theme. Great job! Only thing I might have thrown in is a little bit of audio ambience in the background, as this is a nice casual relaxing game, that could help with the vibe a bit. If this is your original idea, keep going with it and get it in some digital stores!

Thank you! The first thing I did was sit at my table with a deck of cards and dice and came up with the gameplay testing it IRL!

Cool game, a bit difficult to understand exactly how the scoring works, but I like the idea.

Thanks! Basically each column and row is a poker hand that's scored
