Had to give away a finger but pulled it off in the end, great game had fun. I really loved the forge mechanic, it made the game really fun. Cards were really well drawn, the sound and animation when the cards are handed is pretty satisfying. Only thing I would add is maybe a background song when playing. Great job!
I lost, game’s rigged, dealer cheated. lol. Really cool take on blackjack, more violent than I expected. Good work!
Interesting twist on blackjack!
Great job! I really enjoyed the unique twist you added to a classic game! I played all the way through and the only suggestion I had was that the option to forge shouldn't be available if you don't have the 25 chips to use it.
I played through this 4 times, and thoroughly enjoyed it. As someone that knows a bit about blackjack, it was interesting to see the forge card mechanic. My main strategy was pairing a 10-card with a low card to give the most options when drawing. It is a bit unfortunate that you lose the other 6 cards when forging- as I thought at first I could build a card from 2 of the 4 sitting on the table. I think there should be some kind of indication to the player that you are only picking one card from the options. It was also unfortunate that tying counts as a loss instead of a push, like in traditional blackjack.
Overall I think this game has great potential with some small tweaks. Good job!
Cool game! Nice card forging mechanic. The cards being ripped and joined was satisfying :) Couldn't get too far into the game before getting bust. Great job on the initial story animation (however an option to skip it in future runs would be helpful). Overall this is a neat idea and well executed.
