You play the card game War. Everytime you win a card, you lose your life. But this is what you want since you have been living in a swirling vortex of a void for so long...

A great dark atmosphere and intro sequence! I think if there was another layer on top of the card game war (reaction time, pattern recognition, bullet hell etc.) the game would've felt like it had more purpose. I really appreciate the visuals, but something in my gamer brain (and low attention span) makes me struggle with the coin flippiness of the gameplay. I'd love to see you update this though!
For sure. Tbh i was feeling the same way playing through it. Unfortunately for us, time was the huge factor in not bringing in an element of strategy but definitely going to do so in the next iteration.
I rekt Mark. Anyway, I like the visuals and the story introduction bit. Reminded me of some classic games which was nice.
Thanks. And Mark deserved it.
I liked the game concept a lot! And the presentation and purposal are quite inviting. It has appeal and plays nicely. But I'd like to suggest something. How about the player being able, for example, to draw 3 cards and then choose the order of playing these 3 cards per turn? Not sure if this would break the game idea, but I think that if choice is involved, the player can make strategies, instead of relying just on luck and guessing.
Good job!
Great suggestion and thank you. We had talked about adding in an element of strategy but the time constraints really handcuffed us.
Interesting, and dificult
Looking interesting but I can't do anything ( After I click mouse button - I can't do anything. At start I can just press Enter. But when card game begins I cannot do anything neither with keyboard nor with a mouse =(
Same thing for me. Too bad, because setting-/story-wise this felt great : (
I know exactly what we did wrong. Let me do a hotfix and it'll be playable.
Fixed.
Yeah now its working!
