Amazing artstyle, and very interesting concept!! Another entry that I'd love to see more built out of.

i LOOOOOOOOOOVE the art

Awesome game, loved the art and the mechanics. Maybe some card giggle when the enemies take action could have added some clarity. Overall a fun experience though. Great job!!!

The presentation is great, and the premise is very interesting. Unfortunately the game is super buggy, which really hampers the experience. I couldn’t really play the game properly because my cards kept vanishing, enemy health often looked like it was maxed out when it wasn’t, and enemy cards occasionally looked alive when they were already dead.

If those bugs are fixed, I think it would be a very enjoyable game to play.

Cool atmosphere and music! Really love revers mechanic, but rules hard to understand in first time.

I really love this aesthetic !

From a gameplay point of view, I really like the idea to have cards with two side to it. More technically, I found some minor problems with UI text not hidden, not display or over other text on the .exe, and the browser game doesn’t launch (I don’t know why, it’s the first one that had this, from the 50+ game I’ve played so far).

But overall, I really dig the concept. With more time, it could become a really good game !

Yo! Thanks for your comment.

I have absolutely no clue on why your Web version is not working.

Have not heard from anyone else with this problem.

I'm afraid the downloadable Windows version is severely behind in terms of updates, as we really focused on fixing the bugs for the Web version on that final extra hour, so you almost definitely ended up encountering more bugs, so: sorry again!

No problem 👍

Need tutorial - but the game is one of the best

Amazing graphics! A tutorial would help a little bit but all around a good entry!

Yo a card game! I thought it couldn’t be done 👀

the art is sooooooo pretty

As a huge card game fan myself, i enjoyed the game overall. The gameplay was a little bit hard to understand first but we used it. The art and music were on point. I feel it needed a little bit more time to make a really full enjoyable game loop.

Yo! Thanks for the comment!

Coder of the game and main idealizer (of the gameplay) here.

Yeah this was definitely an experiment, and tbh, I probably ended up over scoping a bit. So much so that I coded for about 30 hours lol.

Having maybe like some 8 extra hours would have definitely made the game great IMO, as the game really needed some tutorial probably and it is incredibly unbalanced (I had no time to test it).

Do not worry about the balance I, myself have made a card game that i didnt even have time to test it xD.

Art and Music are on point ! I'm a huge fan of card games and making one in two days is an impressive work. The reverse mechanic is really cool and fits perfectly the theme, unfortunately I keep getting stuck when using it. I'll play your game if you post an update, keep it up !

Art and music are cool. Gameplay is a tad bit unclear . Overall nice work

Submitted(+1)

really love the art and the music, and the cohesion between the two

Submitted(+1)

Cool concept! I was enjoying the strategy and cardplay. The gameplay was a tad glitchy and unclear, but I enjoyed what I played. Good job!

I really like the presentation and idea, and I think the gameplay would be fun too, but I keep getting stuck on the card flip phase and I can't progress past round 3
