How was your experience with Mini Jam?
It was my first "real" jam (I joined one previously that was not hosted on itch and more chill) and I had fun making it. I didn't spend too much time on the game because I have school.

hey fellow scratcher :) its also my first gamejam!

Your game is nice i just had the problem of 5 green enemies wanting to kill me in a row and the spinning time didnt let me enough time get all the green cards i needed. Oh and i dont know if intended or not but spamming your cards seems like a good strat :D


did you also use htmlify to convert it? Or is this even made in scratch?

Overall a good job

oh i see forksphorus :) well if you ever make a bigger game htmlify runs smoother and you can adjust the resolution which is nice

Cool concept of having 4 cards with the 4 enemies and having to time it right. The sprites look amazing and the movement feels smooth and polished.

Im a simple man, I see an enemy i want to shoot it. This stopped me from doing this and had me thinking about timing as well as accuracy. Very interesting mechanic great job :)

Very cool!

It's really cool how the rhythm determines the pace of the game!

Future tips: If you want to develop it further, consider adding some sort of penalty for just shooting non-stop (enemy jumps forward a bit, or next shot takes a while longer). Also, you have a great oportunity to create a mechanic similar to beat saber's where there is an optimal "kill spot" for each card that matches the background music.

Thanks, I would definitely consider adding a penalty.
