Very solid concept and very fun.
my only issue was that at some point, one of my cards wasnt flippable which forced me into a unwinnable scenario cause the other cards werent high enough to satisfy the demanded number. would also say the slow rotation was a bit of a detriment, but nothing else to nitpick about.
definitely a favorite

Gets pretty hard pretty fast - nice! This idea is pretty unique.

I hate how good this is. Such a simple game, executed well.

Cool game, I had some trouble getting the shield mechanic but I love the idea.

Music is nice, animations look crisp (thought slow as you wrote in your disclaimer.*).

Also had a point where I had to add King, 3, Jack and 5 together to make 25? don't think this is possible but I may just be bad at arithmetic haha

Great job, thanks for this.


*I also had the problem with low speed after building to WebGL, I'll give a beep if I figure out how to solve it.

Thanks. The game uses blackjack card values, so jacks, queens, and kings have a value of 10. The combination for your hand would have been king + jack + 5.

Ohhh, that explains it! Anyways, well done :)

I liked it

Interesting game. The math magic on the top confused me for a while. The cards rotation is waaaaay too slow.

Yeah, unfortunately the cards slowed down and a couple bugs appeared when the game was imported to itch.io and we didn't have time to fix them.

Second best card game. :P :D

That was quite fun. 
I had a bug,  where suddenly I could not click two of the cards, I think it happened because I failed and clicked the correct cards before those had a chance to flip back over.

Really liked the power ups you can get. They add a lot to the game loop.

Once I got the hang of it it was quite fun! Well done.
