Awesome game executed very well! Come on masterchief, let's get the heck outta here

Submitted

Very impressive for a quick card game! I especially liked the references in the cards. I’m not so sure on the balancing, but that’s always a problem with card games. Overall good job.

That was a good time! Impressive you managed to create a whole card system in such a short time. The characters were super cute, and I was motivated enough to keep going until I got to the secret battle. Very good job. 

Developer

Thanks so much for playing! I was the programmer and it was so so hard to make a card game from scratch in this time frame. I might not do a card game for a jam ever again haha. I am glad you enjoyed the game though ^.^ I am sure our narrative designer will be so happy to hear that their characters were cute! 

Submitted

The idea and execution is great , music change and art design is really cool! Cards can use some tweaks and balancing and can use more enemies to defeat. Great job!

Submitted

Loved the twist in the end! It was very easy to understand the mechanics of the game and was addicting/fun to play. Flipping all happy/sad cards is a bit too overpowered though lol.

Overall loved the presentation as well as the gameplay! 

Submitted

Nice! But cards are for Wizards! 

Submitted

The card descriptions and character names were so much fun, and none of the dialog got in way of the gameplay. Even though I skipped the tutorial, I was able to figure out how to play 1/2 way through the dog level. Clever twist on this kind of card game! Good job.

I had a lot of fun with Dual Destiny! Having two-sided cards was a neat interpretation of the theme, and they were a lot of fun to mess around with. In a future version, I'd  love to see the opponent take some more aggressive turns to make the game a bit more difficult, as well as some more card variety. For example, it might've been interesting to have a card that boosted the power of other cards or affected diagonal cards instead of/in addition to adjacent cards. It also might have been useful to somehow indicate the significance of both sides of each card no matter what face you're seeing. Well done all!

Nice little card game, Gave me phoenix wright vibes at the beginning !

Developer

Haha, yeah I have never played Pheonix Wright but our writer said that our game was named the same as one lol. So prob gonna change the name in a post jam build. Maybe I will call it Dual Fates or something like that. Glad you enjoyed the card game, it was my first time programming one.

this game represents my emotional state perfectly

Submitted

This is a fun game! I found Simpathey streaming the making of this game and was inspired! Thank you!

Submitted

interesting title

Developer

Thanks, we gonna have to change it to something else after the jam probably lol. Dont want people to think this game is about lawyers.

This is a really cool idea, glad to see more card stuff! I love the way you have to try and strategize placement position. And really cool touch with the music, it seems like it switches mood depending on who is winning.


I'm not sure if it's just my computer but I had a hard time actually reading the text on the cards sometimes-- it might be nice if there was a way to zoom in or click on them to view a larger popup of the card.

Developer

This is a great idea, I could do it hearthstone style maybe where the card in your hand you hover over is larger so you can read the effect. Thanks for the feedback I really appreciate it. 

Submitted

Great take on the theme! Love the designs and jokes on the cards, sometimes I just wanted my card to swap mode to see what was on the other side

Who's a good boy with a bright future? :) good game! really like the music and art

Submitted(+2)

Very fun game! Loved the mechanic and theme, easy to have fun in the design space without it also being too easy to win. The card ideas were also very fun. The music changing from major to minor based on the leading emotion was a cool touch. Nice work!

Submitted

Fun card game. We liked the card art & designs. The point-swinging mechanic was interesting. Good job!

Nice work! This is a smart take on the theme and a card game. This game was a lot of fun, great job!

Submitted(+1)

Really fun and innovative mechanics! I'd say it was a bit too easy but balancing a card game is a huge ask for a jam and it's definitely best to go that way rather than making it too hard.

Developer(+1)

You so right! I feel like the game is a little easier then I wanted it to be. I honestly am wondering if multiplayer would be fun. I am not the biggest fan of AI haha. I am glad you enjoyed the mechanics though, that was kind of what we were experimenting with.

Submitted(+1)

Excellent game! I don't play any card games, but I was able to understand and have a good time with it, even without having to read the "how to play." I like how you combined the idea of tarot cards and card game, it's a clever connection.

Developer

Thanks so much for playing. I am glad the instructions were intuitive!
