Charming illustration with a neat fisheye effect, cool abilities presented in theme-appropriate honeycombs, fun flavor text, and great touches like the bees in the borders. Thanks for making and sharing!
Always great to be reminded of the Collection of Various Clothing Styles, and you do a nice job of gamifying while still keeping it esoteric. Well done!
Extremely legible despite a good chunk of text (including flavor text) -- this card taught me something. Love the idea of different rarities of rests. And nice picture selection. Thanks for making and sharing!
Love the sketchiness of the drawings vs. the precision of the design and text at the bottom, harmonizes well. Nice consistency on the card edges and title, very profesh. Thanks for sharing!
A fun mixture of traditional face cards and something like the two-faced Tlatilco figurines from Central Mexico. Nice attention to detail with the double set of hands and the outline around the letters in the title for legibility. Cool ability, feels powerful. Thanks for sharing!
Looked away for a couple days and now there have been SO many great new submissions! Just sampled a few cards and they brought me a lot of joy, thanks everyone.
I think this jam's concept leads to combination of
a) having lots of evocative words with no referent
b) boldness of vision (to convincingly imply a whole card game's rules and vibes using a single card)
c) concentrating all each submitter's time and energy into one exquisite piece rather than diluting it across a whole system,
All the word choices are so evocative, and the flipping between "A reality" and "B reality" combined with the animation works great. Thanks for making and sharing!
Strong concept and execution, thanks for making and sharing! It has the satisfying trajectory-shooting of Steamworld: Heist, the roguelike synergies of Luck Be a Landlord, and the physics-based pachinko chaos of Peglin. Definitely interested in the full game, keep up the good work!
Really fun! Feels great to handle and I kept surprising myself with how some levels weren't as impossible as they first seemed. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the full version!
The BFM (Big Furry Monster) from Unglued is two separate cards, where the title and mana cost are so large that they need to be divided...
And from the very first set, Arabian Nights, Shahrazad requires both players to pause the current game and start up a new subgame beside it, with the loser losing half their life points. Just like in the original 1001 Arabian Nights collection of folk tales, the card can be played again and again in those subgames to keep the story going...
What a fun little game! 14 speeches total, but I got antsy whenever there were more than 12 people in a faction. Loved the first person hands and the Latin proclamations ("Deus Ex Machina!" and "Lorem Ipsum!" got chuckles out of me.) Thanks for making and sharing!
I'm a high school teacher outside of Boston who finally got to teach an (analog) game design class this year. On day 2 of the story games unit, I just did my best to GM four versions of the Raptor at the same time...and students were into it!
Next class, they're all going to be hacking this into 2 stat RPGs of their own. My examples:
A Grey's Anatomy RPG using Hots and Guts
A Love Island RPG using Wits and T*** / Talks and C****, depending on gender ;)
Thanks for the inspiration and the resource -- it's still great!
Very cool, as always! I teach AP Art History, and I might incorporate this into my introductory architecture day when introduce students to the idea of plans, sections, elevations, etc. The trouble will be when I want students to move on to the next idea (because using your tool will be too interesting!) Thanks!
