How does the ai and the increasing difficulty work? i'm curious
The AI follows simple rules to determine which card to play. Both Blue and Red have the exact same AI. This means that with the same cards in hand and the same card on the discard pile, the AI would always play the exact same card. It first looks for Skip or Reverse cards. If there are none playable, it looks for cards of the same color, then for cards of the same shape/value (e.g., 1 on 1 or +2 on +2). If none of those options are available, it plays a +4 or chooses a color.
The increased difficulty currently lies in the fact that the probability of Blue getting a special card becomes lower while Red's probability increases. This means that gradually, you are more frequently forced to give Red a better card (since the available choices consist mostly of good cards), requiring more tactics.
This is a simplified explanation of how it works, but it's roughly accurate. I hope you enjoyed playing the game :)
This game is really fun and really relaxing
I'm glad to hear that.
This is more fun to play than actual Uno
I agree as well :)
This game is very relaxing, i loved
Thank you very much. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This music is a VIBE! :catjam: The pixel art is nice and simple, and the idea is unique. Everything I generally look for in a game. You even managed to add an in game tutorial in a jam game! 👏
(BTW could you publish the music on Spotify? This stuff could supercharge my work!)
I'm glad you enjoyed it and had fun. I also really like the music, but unfortunately, it's not created by me. As mentioned in the credits, it was made by Qumu (a YouTuber normally known for Nintendo remixes). Here are the links to the two tracks:
- "I Am," which I used for my intro and main menu.
- "Among Familiar Faces," which plays during the Uno game.Both tracks should be available on Spotify, to the best of my knowledge. I hope you have a great time listening to them.
Oh, ok. Thanks for the links, anyways. I've already been listening to Qumu music on Spotify, don't know how I didn't come across these earlier.
Awesome game, just now realizing how bad I am at Uno!
I was surprised because I expected this to be a breeze, turns out the later levels are indeed challenging enough because even when you have control of what to give out from the stack, nothing beats a good starting hand in early phase, I'm impressed, well thought out and fun!
Thanks ^^
This is a concept our team considered but didn't really know how to do, very cool implementation of the idea! I do feel the animations and such take a bit long even on x4 speed so I quickly felt I was becoming inpatient. But it's a charming little puzzler.
Nice idea, i feel it it was a little bit too long when the red player was drawing 8 cards in a row xD but overall , nice play.
I really love this concept! honestly playing uno it did always feel like the cards favored someone over another and now its true! the music was nice and chill and the gameplay was simple but really fun
Yeah, now you'll discover the truth about how the cards are dealt in a real game of Uno xD
I'm glad you had fun with it :)
Nice idea, well done :D
Thank you :)
Great concept and execution! I enjoyed the music, too! Good job!
Thanks :D
Very polished and enjoyable. This game proves that simple ideas are often the best ones
Thank you for your kind praise. Yes, initially, I wanted to make the game much more complex with additional rules and player-controlled elements to provide a more intricate gameplay experience. However, I realized that (A) time constraints prevented me from doing so, and (B) keeping it simpler actually makes it easier to understand and enjoyable.
really like this game, truly captures how it feels to play uno (i'm red)
In all seriousness, good concept and good execution! Well done
Thanks :D
Cool game
there was a level where i lost without any of the players having drawn any cards, was pretty funny
very enjoyable game
Yes, that is something that could happen. Thanks for your comment.
Woah! very awesome idea and execution! Only thing is I wish the fonts were consistent. Keep it up!
Mostly they are, but you are right - it's not always the case. Thanks for your feedback.
This is the most creative game i have seen in this jam. I hope you will bi in the top 100 ;)
I'm curious about my creativity score, but yeah. However, I don't think I'll come anywhere near the top 100. There are plenty of other games that have been very well developed. But thanks for your comment :)
Surprisingly easy to lose track of time in this one. I could see myself playing this for a long time without it getting too old. Very nice game!
That is one of the best compliments a game developer can receive. Thank you very much :)
i loved playing this, it is a simple concept that is VERY addictive
If you want, I can add a hint about addiction counseling in the game xD
