Wow, what a fantastic jam entry. Got some serious FTL/Into The Breach vibes from the art. I was able to narrowly beat Ragnarok at the end.

I’m not sure if I was doing something wrong, but the “return to hand” augmentation would bring the unit back, but I wasn’t able to use it again afterwards? Similarly, the repair a building purple card I wasn’t able to use despite having energy. It highlighted buildings in green, but didnt seem to activate.

Overall, very well balanced gameplay. I felt like I was narrowly winning at each phase, and having to make meaningful decisions given the resources I had. Really hard to pull that kind of balance off in a jam, so big kudos to the team. I hope yall keep working on this afterwards, because there is definitely a nugget of something very good here.

Thanks a lot for your feedback. Into the breach was an influence for sure, Glad you were able to beat the game despite all the bugs. I think there is a but with the returning to hand card that keeps the card assigned on the zone so its strange but i saw that bug on sunday night and did not had the brain to find the source after being programming the entire weekend on this. We are planning to continue the game post jam because we are really happy with the result so keep in touch if you liked it!

Very good game for just 10 days!

Developer

We ended up exhausted but we gave all we had. Thanks a lot for playing!

Very good graphics, really. It reminds me of a game I used to play as a kid on the Super Nintendo 64 emulator. It reminds me a lot of the game Metal Marines. Honestly, I'm not into card games; I never played Magic, although I liked the Yu-Gi-Oh game for PlayStation 2 called Duelist of the Roses. But the work you did is impressive. The number of polished pieces of the units and the upgrades is quite complex for the jam's timeframe. Congratulations, guys!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for your feedback! timeframe is the real enemy on this kind of jam and this kind of games are super challenging. Give Magic the card game a chance! Its awesome!

Submitted(+2)

I was not expecting a card game but it's refreshing. It's fun and very polished for a jam. Lots of great ideas here.

Developer

It was our first card game, if i knew the work we had to make im not sure if this was my final choice :P. Its kind of complex the interactions you end up having and how to achieve some sense of deckbuilding strategies with stages without making a full game but the challange was awesome for us at least to learn.

Thanks a lot for playing and those words!

Great gameplay, awesome graphics. One of my favourites of this jam.

Good job!

Developer

Thanks a lot for those kind words!

before opening this I had an Into the Breach vibe 

wow a card experience that kinda feels like inscryption, with a kinda stage sequence feeling like Slay the Spire, already excited about it

even the soundeffects bring me back to inscryption (the part you fight the robot guy)

ok, this feels both like inscryption and with slay the spire, a lot of potential with this mechanics, with perhaps some narrative definitely something worth buying on steam

Developer

Amazing, you mentioned the exact three main inspirations for this haha Thanks for playing! 

Developer

Were you part of our brainstorm? hehe. Thanks a lot for playing, i think the game its easier to understand if you come from that references, we are lacking explanations for people who dont. We are considering doing a post jam version with more contente and mechanics we left out of scope so if you like that kind of games keep in touch!

Submitted

very promissing project indeed, following you guys to see updates

7/10, i like the concept but it needs more work

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! If you have anything more specific could be really useful for us to improve! What you didnt like about the game or what part of the game you think could need more work. Thanks!

Submitted(+2)

Great graphics and idea! Well done

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing!

Nice I like a little card game, even though I wasn't able to destroy the boss I was super close!!

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing, the game is hard to be honest so don't be upset about that, also there are some bugs with return to hand mechas and things like that which makes it even harder, hehe, but defeating the game is totally possible besides that. Glad you liked it.

Submitted(+2)

Great entry! I really like the design, and think it was very well balanced, given the short deadline and nature of the game. I could see this game getting built out into something bigger for sure.

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot for your words, @juandroid made an excelent job balancing the monsters and being able to also deliver awesome pixel art stuff so that was thanks to him. We are considering extending the game in a post jam update cause we left some mechanics out of the scope so keep in touch!

Submitted(+2)

Great art and concept! I think it was quite polished and fun to play, good work. Concept was also pretty original

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing, we wanted to achieve more polish and less bugs but we had no time, the game turned out quite complex with all the interactions and stuff. Thanks!

Submitted(+2)

I WON YIPPEEE!!!! It was very close in the end but I prevailed...very nice work it was fun to play! 

Developer(+1)

Wow, congratulations on defeating the game, it was not easy im sure, specially for IHOPUTT which makes my life miserable everytime. Glad you enjoyed it!

Submitted(+2)

Great art, great concept, great fun! I like the puzzle aspect of building out the team. It reminds me of Into the Breach a bit, but with Kaijus! Nice work!

Developer

Thanks a lot, im glad you enjoyed it and had fun. Into the breach was a great inspiration for us, great game.

Submitted(+2)

Such a great and fun idea, I would love to see more cards and enemy designs!

Developer

Thanks for playing! We are considering to add some things in a post jam version of the game so keep in touch!

Submitted(+2)

I did not expect myself to get engrossed into this card game in such a short time, very well done! Believed in the heart of the cards! :D

Developer

The heart of the cards is everything! Im happy you liked it, hope you defeat the game. Thanks for playing and keep believing in that last mecha draw that will save you :D

Submitted(+2)

Awesome entry! Only complaint I have is that it's maybe too easy to discard cards, I kept trashing my best card on accident lol.

Developer

Yeah, maybe the area was a too big because at first we had like one big second pile, and ended up with smaller ones. Thanks for pointing that out and thanks for playing.

Submitted(+2)

Firstly, good job with the pixel art, it's great! Maybe you can add some challenges, like killing this monster to get the X card. I am really impressed to see such a game in a short time, good job!

Developer

Thanks a lot! It was not easy to be honest, the game turned out to bit a little more complex than expected and the idea of having 10 days is tricky as you always think you have enough time until you dont. We are planning on continue the project a bit further as we are happy with what we achieved, so rewards and challanges are expected to come. Thanks for your feedback.

Submitted(+2)

Really awesome pixel art. I like the switch between progress ui and battle ui.

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing! The artist did a wonderful job indeed :D

Submitted(+1)

Really cool game! I was impressed with the level of polish and the amount of content. It was really fun to strategize and learn as I went. My only criticism is that the screens are very static. Even just some basic idle animations would help liven up the game a little bit.

Developer

Thanks a lot for playing! Agree on the static feedback, we wanted to add animated water at firtst, then we reduced the scope and planned to add rocks and then we realize we have only a couple hours til the jam ends and did nothing, we had some time issues cause the game turned out to be quite complex and we didnt reach the polish we would like to. Thanks for your feedback!

Submitted(+1)

I enjoyed it, with more different units would be really fun

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! I agree with that but we struggled a lot with time as everyone i guess. Thanks for playing.
