Awesome game! Sucked me right in though I did get hit for like 768 damage by one enemy at the end when I only had 220 health. haha Y'all did a great job and I could def see this becoming a commercial product.

Do you remember which enemy it was? I hear the Ludicrous Lexicon has been the ender of many runs haha


Thank you for checking out our game!

I wish I did. I had just got into a rhythm of choosing cards, and hoarding health in case I took damage (which until this guy the most I had taken was 17) and I was waiting for the damage number and when I saw it was 768 I was like... Nope. Not even Deadpool gonna recover from that. haha

I am not one to typically like card drawing games but I LOVED THIS I would say this is probably the best game Ive played so far

Submitted

I really liked the art! I also thought it was a good use of the jam's theme

Super creative idea and the thought of a knight fighting birds with cards cracks me up!

Submitted

Awesome take on a card game! Height up the tower being a kind of stat that you want to outpace your opponents on for advantage is really unique! Fun graphics, enemy names, and theming too. Well done!

Submitted

Great game, and a very well done tutorial that was very clear - not easy to pull off in a short time for sure!

Submitted

This game was genuinely really fun to play, it felt good and was addictive, good job

Submitted

Such a cool game. I hope there would be more different relic and type of cards! I enjoy the game

Submitted

I actually played this one for a while! Great job!

Submitted

Good game, hilarious concept, excellent tutorial. 1267 btw

Really fun game!! Very charming style and the mechanics were just complicated enough to be fun without needing much time to figure things out, and I really like the height advantage mechanic. I was doing so well until the big evil Lexicon instakilled me at 689 ft. high. Lots of fun, really nice job! 

Submitted

Very fun game! Got Balatro vibes. I wish there were more high tier relics!

Submitted

I got 680. Fun card game with nice visuals!

Submitted

This looks cool! Even without the tutorial I could easily understand what I had to do. Nice design, you can definitely polish this out into a proper game!

Submitted

Really enjoyed this one. Highly since I always like games that involve anything to do with cards. I am big fan of your silly visuals and that one family guy reference on 'Game Over' screen.

Submitted

Real fun little game with great visuals! love the take on 'scaling' and combing it with a classic card type game. Love the design of the little jester in the balloon! 

Submitted

Great game design and interesting take on the topic. Reminds me of some of my favorite card games. I only wish there were more types of relics or other mechanics like for example double cards?

Submitted

nice game! I got 625.

Submitted

I like this one
