Hey another lovely game! I like poker and it was a nice exercise of my card brain to try to think fast and do the most efficient moves. The card animations / physics were very well done, with a kind of relaxing casual vibe throughout.

I've learned a LOT from playing your games. Your approach to game design is very cool and very different from my own, and that's the best way to see outside my little habits and appreciate a different way of looking at mechanics. It's been awesome hanging out through GDKO and it's been an honor to go through these rounds with you. Best of luck in all your future endeavors, and I look forward to staying connected on Discord.

Thank you for the kind words. So good to read this 😁

We can definitely learn a lot from each other, just send me a message when you want to brainstorm about game design.

Why did nobody tell me that gambling is so fun?! Seriously, you once again outdid yourself with this game, I love it! Even though I never played poker, I got so invested in the gameplay once I googled the card layouts and focused on getting as many chips as possible. I played through all the levels and I am so impressed that all of them bring something new or different to the gameplay! This is such a well made game, wow. Literally, my one and only complaint is that the background rotating constantly made me kinda dizzy, because I played for too long lol.

After every round I couldn't wait to play anything that you submitted, your games were always so surprising and creative and I had so much fun with every one of them. I am still thinking of how genius your idea was for the first round game! In my opinion, your submissions often stood out as the ones with the best game design and creativity. This final game is no different. Joszs, I think you could (and should!) win this GDKO, because you kept a very high level with all submissions and this one is the perfect culmination. Also, it wouldn't be the first time that a game set in space wins the final round of GDKO :D

Thanks for your comment. Really appreciate it especially coming from you 🦆. I need to look up past finals, did not know there were other space games 😅. I will do that now actually

Wow a wild and crazy ride through all kinds of poker games! I didn't get through the last one but I'll try it again when I have time. Really fun concept executed well.

Thank you, thank you, no worries, the last level is there to have some extra replayability I think it can take a lot of time to complete the last level 😅
