Use of the limitation
I wanted to "fuse" Alice in Wonderland with another myth. When I heard about controlling the environment as the limitation, I chose Persephone, who shares a deep connection with the Earth. This is why she uses Earth powers in the game.
Cookies eaten
none, but I had a total of 3 Sandwiches, which are also baked goods I guess! :)

Honestly, I’m not really a fan of the JRPG genre (with a few exceptions) but making the battle system as simple as the rules of Blackjack made it really fast-paced and fun! Not to mention the cutesy art style and great music!
It means a lot to me that you gave this game a look anyway and ended up liking it! 😍 That Feedback is very helpful tysm :]
Fun game concept. Blackjack system is cool, however, can feel a bit unfair and frustrating if Hades keeps getting damn 21's! Maybe some other features to give the player some more control would be fun. But overall the game looks really cool and is smooth to play, oh and also a health bar for Hades would be nice.
Good job!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the concept and the looks! :]
The health bar was a complete oversight, I'll definitely add one in the future! xD
Looking forward to it :D
I find the idea of battling using the blackjack system intriguing, but at times it can feel a bit like you are stuck trying to win against the casino because of the lack of other tools the player is given apart from getting another card and waiting.
I would have liked a mechanic to play around with the cards you have already been dealt, like the ability to destroy a card sometimes, or maybe swap a card with Hades to try and gain more control over the situation. A bit more than Vanilla blackjack.
Overall, a fun concept that I think could really improve with some more tools for the player to express his creativity
Thank you so much for your feedback and your wonderful ideas! Destroying a card is a feature I really enjoyed in a TTRPG called Night Reign, and swapping cards sounds really intriguing as well. Those are some cool concepts I could definitely see myself adding in future updates :]
