I like the narrative and the gameplay loop is super fun and engaging, however it felt a bit too random at times. I know, it's all about randomness, but some cards (like +1, -1) don't do much in terms of increasing the odds. Also those "No effect" cards, I don't get those, I don't know what is the purpose. Apart from being cruel to get (especially, when you have to add a card to your deck and you're presented with an option of 3 No effect cards, which, not gonna lie, had me laugh at just how unfair that was :D).
Cheers!
Really well polished for a game jam! Very compelling too! Reminds me of that blackjack minigame from Resident Evil 7 which I couldn't put down for weeks. I'd love to see the idea explored further!
Alpa, first off thank you for teaching me about windows key plus g, saved my life. Next, your game was a lot of fun. My favorite part was the character design, personality, and animation. I see a lot of potential in this game with adding extra mechanics, cards, ect. The music was also great. LOL, the beard guy made my day :D. Keep up the great work.
Wow! Loved the art, animations and audio composition creating very cool and distinctive characters, and all done during the jam! That’s bonkers (as mark would say hah)
I managed to beat the game on my first run, so I guess I’m very lucky? But it wasn’t a satisfying gameplay to me: I didn’t have to actually think too much nor had many options to choose from; in the end, it just feels like the god of luck liked me this time and everything went right.
But in the end it was an enjoyable experience and I’m glad I managed to beat the game and see the ending. So congrats and nicely done! :D
Amazing game idea, stop giving me all no effect cards in shop tho
I can see that the game tries to integrate strategy and RNG, however the RNG aspect overshadows the strategy too much. The facial feature is the only thing giving off information for you to choose your card, and even then it's still up to RNG. However, it is a very cool idea that can evolve into something interesting if developed more.
The art, animation and audio is pretty solid :D
P/S: I couldn't give live commentary due to not being able to stream, sorry
Like how the game looks! Very good job. Feels like it has good potential.
Great art, Cool concept kept me hooked for a good time, battling to get the higher number and using cards is a fun gameplay loop, i just felt that the no effect cards were unnecessary as they didnt affect the game at all. but great game overall had fun playing it
I loved the art and the concept!
I loved this game! The characters were very funny, all of the music was great, the art was good, and the game was overall very well polished! Good job!
I would play a full version of this for sure! Great concept and fit the theme well.
This is really cool! Very good character design. A bit frustrating in how much RNG there is, though.
I got choose between 3 "No Effect" cards, as a reward for winning a round.
Aw no that sucks! We even made it a really small chance as well
Really Nice game I love it
really good art style , good job bro ;)
I love how you really had personality in the art style and animations, my first rating of the jam and I can already tell this will be one of my faves for that reason.
Honestly the only thing I didn't like was the no effect card, just felt like it had no reason to be in the deck and when i got the rewards a lot of the time i just mindlessly clicked the only non "no effect" card or w/e.
I think i died like 2-3 times iirc but i managed to beat the game so it had a pretty nice balance considering it's a jam game lolol
good concept and it was really fun. im interested to see what a full version would hold!
Liked the concept and enjoyed playing. The randomness never felt unfair.
Really good environment settings. It's a random game, so I feel like having bad or good luck is very much part of the game. Still felt sad when I died though. I enjoyed it!
Well it was a long time ago a starting menu screen has gotten me to laugh that much!!!
A simple concept really well executed! Gameply loop was great and the characters with their own animations and even music just topped it all off amazingly!
Great work! :D
