Wow I am all here for this. The art stye and gameplay are off the charts!

I love it! Couldn't get past the 3rd NPC but definitely had a lot of fun, played it for quite some time too, longer than I should have hahaha thank you for your submission!

I accidentally used anger management in the tutorial and burned all my red cards, nerfing myself the entire run. Might need some balance tweaks on that one.

Cool concept, nice art. I like the music too.

Great concept, very well executed. The art and voices are great, the gameplay is more involved than the vast majority of game jam submissions, and it's also longer than most jams. Would be nice to have a save but I guess that's kind of crazy for a game jam submission, haha.

Creative take on the theme! From the title alone you get a good vibe of the game haha! really enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed this one. The art and voice are amazing. I would give this 6 stars for style if I could. I like how your deck is constantly changing in size and you have to strategically use the correct cards to keep your deck the way you need it. Really well done!

Really well done but often you are in situations where the game wants you to play a certain card which you do not have in hand.

You should be able to play one of the cards in your hand (especially the cards with abilities related to discarding) to obtain the card you need. Moving on to the next situation after one card is played makes the entire game chance based, dependent on what cards are drawn into your hand. If you could actually utilize the discard abilities without being "punished" for playing the "incorrect" card that the situation called for, then then the player could fully engage with all the ideas that you all came up with.


Really creative idea, the theming of judging the dead works well with the strategic mindset that a card game (and/or deck building game) evokes.

"Pocket Sand" got a good laugh out of me, good job game is great.

The voice acting was great, but later stages had issues where the audio and BGM weren't balanced properly. The third stage music was about three times higher than the voice, and 4th had about 1.5 times louder music.

Absolutely amazing. The over the top voice acting and the stupidly funny title really sold it for me. The aesthetics and vibe were great, I loved every part of the game, wished there was a save though. It was beautiful.

A jam game being voice acted is insane. I really like the after life egyptian style of the game, i think it fit's the theme very well. Only thing which bothered me is that i didn't remember all the morality of gods, so i just choose whichever felt like the right choice to do (maybe this is intentional though). Overall i think you did a amazing job. Keep it up!

Cool to see yet another Egyptian-theme game. Clever take on the theme with some good writing. The art and voice acting is also top notch. Good work!

Submitted(+1)

Omg never thought I'd see a voice acted jam game. The concept is really cool and the character designs are superb congrats to the artist

Submitted(+1)

This was fun! There was something satisfying about picking the right cards and watching the scale tip. I just had to keep playing to see the design of different characters! Enjoyed it very much. I found it fun to find another game that uses animal characters as well. (But yours are much cooler. Mine are just cute little guys haha)
