Starts off a bit simple but I like how the cards with special effects allow for some interesting strategies.
Loved it! High score: 9 rounds, 31 heroes defeated
That's pretty good! The average seems to be around 7-8 rounds, best I've seen so far was 10. Great job!
Oh boy I really do love card games like this. Great job, the only thing I missed was some music and more SFX.
Thank you, I hope my game was good for your love :D
Yeah, SFX and music unfortunately needed to take a bit of a backseat for this solo project - but therefore you got 16 cards, with 10 or so of them actually having a special effect! ;)
If you check the game we've made, you ll see a lot of similutude with this one !
You are the boss and you manage your monsters. Your game is more like a traditional card game and mine was more a like dungeon management game.
But still, the ideas is similar !
Nice game!
I liked it, it was simple to understand and fun to play. Being able to speed up the game is a nice QOL feature.
The game has a very high level of completion. It is a very interesting card game.
I loved the idea, very interesting mechanic. So simple to undertand and makes you think about nice strategies. Got 8 rounds and 25 heroes defetaed hahah
Simple concept but effective! I liked how it's similar to a turn based game but with the cards you display on your "side"
nice one, but i was missing some music
Very good game! Interesting to play. But it's sad that there is no any roles reverse except of visual one :( It's steel very cool!
Really good concept, main problem in my opinion was the enemies outscaled my cards too fast, maybe Tier 2/3 of the same cards with buffed up stats for the later stages with Knights and Barbarians?
Otherwise very addictive!
no I agree completely - the balancing is a bit out of whack, as the heroes are too strong / too numerous too quickly. Easy fix, but unfortunately I was a little pressed for time at the end and didn't manage to do a long winded playtest to figure out balance. :D
great result
This was great! Very addictive and creative! Would love a bg music as I play this.
I totally decided that players can choose their own music as they play and it wasn't because I didn't have time to find some good background music and implement audio controls, nono... ;)
glad you otherwise enjoyed it. what's your highscore? :D
I liked this one. The mechanic was fun and the card art was nice
I've seen multiple games having this "Core idea", but I think this one is one of the best execution. Nice and fun
thank you. :)
This was the game I played the most in the jam. I don't know if it's by design but when using an archer on top of other card the passive doesn't work.
I actually wanted to do a card game in this jam too but didn't have enough time.
Well done!
that's great to hear (that you played the game a lot, not that you found a bug :D).
No, the archer is supposed to work whenever it's on top of the pile, no matter whether it has cards under it. Its bonus is calculated at the start of the round so it doesn't account for destroyed cards (by technical/time limitation, not design tho). I did notice it being a little inconsistent though, but only after the deadline unfortunately.
Oh well - it's a GameJam game, here be bugs. :D
Really cool game!! Love the pixel art and the flavor text for each card! The only thing I don't really like is not being able to drag cards back if you want to switch a card's position or move them from a stack (before committing them by pressing the arrow). Otherwise it's a great game! Good job bro
thank you for the kind words. That's a good point that I'll keep in mind if I ever expand on this.
This is super cool! I wasn't expecting to see any card games for the jam so it caught me by surprise. Well done
Thank you for your kind words, I appreciate that!
The theming and sense of humor for the game were great! The gameplay felt very nice as well, though it could benefit from some difficulty tweaking it's a really nice foundation and a solid card game overall.
Thank you ♥
Yeah I think I overpowered the heroes a little bit in an effort to make it not too easy.
