Cool concept, I did struggle with the cards, until I saw that there's explanation in the bottom page. Glad you could participated! ;)
Love the color palette and the way the map is split into the two colors. Awesome!
Thanks! <3
Cool idea to make the powerups unknown at the start and add that as a puzzle element to an otherwise action-oriented game. Great music too, I could listen to that for ages
Thanks! <3
Really like the color palette and the art, but I was a little confused about what the cards meant. I think they were used to increase how many bullets you fire but they never seemed to give me a consistent result. I tried typing in words for the question marks but that didn't seem to do anything. Dodging the enemies was fun though, and I like how you have to be on the same side of the screen as the enemy that you are trying to kill. Having obstacles that are only visible in certain areas is a neat idea. Great submission :)
Thanks for playing! <3
Regarding the cards I didn't do a great job of explaining the mechanic in the game. If you have one card with the text "A B X" and "A B Z" the A and B refers to the same word. As you notice in the beginning of the game you have very limited outcomes, basically "PLAYER BULLET INCREASE" and "PLAYER BULLET DECREASE". You can now deduce that symbol A probably refers to a PLAYER and symbol B to "BULLET". Now you need to connect the increase to a symbol and decrease to a symbol and then as the game progress more outcomes are added which are a mix of symbols you've seen and decoded and new symbols you need to figure out what they mean.
Ohhh that explanation makes a lot of sense. I went back and played more of the game with that in mind and it is a lot better now that I know what the cards kind of mean. I think the idea of that is so interesting, having to decode the upgrades that you get instead of just knowing them outright.
