I like the illustrations and the mostly consistent design of your game. Tooltips and embedded rules instead of a separate section would have been nice, and an "Exit" functionality to close the app.
I fully admit I'm not much of a card game player, so I couldn't tell you how this stacks up as a card game. But it was easy enough to figure out how the game plays, being effectively rock paper scissors. The illustrations of the gods are great, and really capture that hieroglyph look. I do wonder if there was some issue either on my end or with this build, because I see SFX and music was credited to someone, but I didn't hear any audio in the game to speak of.
As for the rest of the game its clear that a lot of effort went into the design and visuals. I think it would have been nice if the reset, skip, confirm, etc. buttons could have had the same look as the menu buttons though. But this is a jam game, and I'm not one to be talking about bland UI.
Great work!
Seems to be an enhanced version of Rock Paper Scissors. The illustrations for the gods are very nice. It would help if there was something showing the powers on screen rather than just in the rules screen. Like a graphic showing Red beats Blue beats Green beats Red. I couldn't remember the order so I lost all of them even when I switched colors.
