I did not expect to be so invested in the story of a mini jam, especially with the One Scene for Everything restraint! You really did a good job taking a simple game and pushing it to be an amazing creation. The game looks and plays great and even though the card game was simple, the dialogue in between kept me wanting to play another round.

We are very happy you liked it,

The card game is a vessel to give you more to discover through winning and losing, it is not supposed to be hard or complicated, it's just a game between 2 friends, the main focus is the story telling.

If you like these type of stories we are planning to put alot more in our upcoming game "Bag of Swording" that's getting a big story and Universe filled with stories.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind!

beautiful artstyle, luv the overall vibe... short and simple, just like momma used to make ≽^- ˕ -^≼

only suggestion i can think of is making the cards on the table change and move around based on game progress.

Developer

Thank you for your comment!

We really wanted to do that, but with the little time we had, and the restrictions, we couldn't really add almost half our ideas into the game.

If you wanna see more from us make sure to follow us!

And thank you again for your comment.

Artwork is very good. Gameplay is also nice, considering the amount of time you took it.

However the narration sounds very artificial. Are any of you Russian? Or is it your imagination of old Rusglish? Tbh offensive. стыд

Developer

Hey there, 

We are really sorry you thought it was offensive, we tried to paint a heroic vision of these men and never was it meant to be disrespectful to anyone.

We didn't have any male friends that spoke Russian, but we had a Russian girl that coached the voice actors, they tried their best with the little time they had and the little experience in voice acting they had.

We thank them a lot for their effort considering they were very short on time and very busy and we hope you understand their situation too.

Thank you for trying our game and we hope you enjoy our other créations.

Thank you for your answer!


I think that during development you can make a better narration. Language 100 years ago was different than now, it is hard for most of modern language users to imitate old accent (the best to ask your friend's parents, since most of users around 50 years old are having this kind of accent). If that was your first try then good job. I was thinking that you just grabbed some words and made fun from it without checking. However it can be definitely improved. I can offer my help comrades.


Overall it is very good game, chapeau bas.

Developer

We would love to have your help if we do something similar, for now our team is very tired and have a lot of life responsabilities.

These type of scenes will be part of our big game "Bag of Swording" that will have a graphical remake as well as more gameplay elements and if we ever plan to include Russian (which is now sounding very appealing) we will call you first.

Thank you for the feedback we really appreciate it !

The game is really good! The artwork and especially the music are amazing, and the special touch was the suspenseful atmosphere at each ending.

Bro, the art is AMAZING. Considering how little time it took, it turned out incredible. The game also has a simple but fun mechanic. Overall, just super cool.
