Very good game concept

There are many bugs and balance issues but the base concept is great, I have often been coming back to play here and there even though I cannot beat stage 2 lol. Do you plan on releasing this or is this a hobby project?

Hehe, yeah there is a few bugs that i am trying to smash, sometimes those buggers escape my traps but i will find them eventually.

The current plan is just to keep working on it as a hobby project until GMTK Game Jam 2023, i do have a multiplayer concept i wanna try in the game but the networking is easier to do with Steam since they have lobby and matchmaking system i can use for that and that's is atleast a half year away i believe. The Steam version with Multiplayer and full release will cost but the price will be around 5-10$. If i don't, my wife will be pissed at me because "We can't make a living on free games" even tho i already have a great job. I work on the game mainly on my freetime so development might shift in speed times to times and lets see how far we can go in one year.

It makes my day everytime someone writes here and i can see that people actually playing the game. Thanks for playing my game, it means allots to me. Will come with an smaller update in 2 days i think. I forgot to add items with Burn it turns out so it will be an "Hot" patch, Burn will really help with World 2 ;)

Im glad to hear that it will be updated. The reason I ask is because I like the base concept so much of using dice and cards together that I want to make my own rendition but keep the core concept of using equipment/dice/cards. Would that be okay with you? My coding skills probably aren't as good as yours so working together might be out of the question.

Go for it, would love to play your version.

This is how creativity works and new ideas is created, inspiration from each other.

Awesome, I will keep working on it! I was wondering how you came up with this idea? It's similar to dicey dungeons but more hardcore

I have played allot of similar games, Slay the spire, Poker Quest, Monster Train and so on, think i have about 20 or so games like this on Steam. I have also made a prototype of this as physical card game that i also took inspection from. So it's just a huge blend of allot of different games.


The core was done under the GMTK Game Jam 2022 so it was made within 48h so the time pressure made me simplify allot of the game mechanics.

I've played the popular ones that you mentioned but I missed out on Poker Quest,  I can see some similarities now!
