pretty cool effects from the cards, there are a few gameplay issues like I can’t go to the edge of the screen to collect cards, because enemies would spawn there.
also there isn’t much point for me to know what card is next since there’s no time to look, also very hard to.
If you make the game level bigger and camera follow the player it would solve the first issue.
Other than that it was pretty fun and if it was a bit more polished I’d play more.
Here’s an idea if you want to make it a full-fledged game.
A top down shooter where yo have to pick cards for your deck that are your weapons etc, as you play the game you unlock more cards. so you combine deck building + top down shooter/twin-stick shooter
Thanks for your thoughts! The edge of the screen is indeed dangerous, using the sword/shield might help with that! But yes I do agree I would've made the game level bigger if time suited. Good ideas all round tho :)
cooool game!
pixel art is kinda confuse though, I like these different cards.
Thanks for playing :D
Wow... Complex, but super fun!
Glad you liked it!! :D
Sweet and short game! Card abilities are kind of random but they have very interesting effects that set this game differently from other bullet hells in this jam! Also music is kind of a banger lol
Thank you, appreciate the music comment!! There was supposed to be some decision making involved but did not end up that way :P There's another comment below with a meme I posted that sums it up quite well hahaha
Good entry! enjoyable. But not much time to think and make decision based on current card so you forced to play kinda random
Thanks for playing! I did want to make it more decision based but ran out of time to make it that way. So here's a meme to make up for it:
I love the rogue like feeling of this game!
In my opinion you implemented the special object outstandingly, 5 stars for that and did you actually make all those power ups (cards) within this period because I was surprised to see someone that added many features in this short game jam!
Mad respects🙌
Thanks for the praise, glad you enjoyed it! Yes I thought of what most of the cards before it started, and had a few that I was struggling with 6, J, and K etc. I have a notes app where I just scribbled all my ideas down, it was messy!
I totally get
Funny enough I also spent more than a day planning it 😅
Didn't expect this game to be so fun, I got a high score of 34300. The music is phenomenal and even though the game felt unfair or too chaotic at times it added to the fun, great game! My one suggestion is to track the player's high score.
Thanks for playing! 343000 is a good score! I've seen higher though ;) A high score tracker is be a good idea, if I had time I would've tried to add a leaderboard.
Whats going on!! cool
Thanks for playing!!
Really cool game. The only thing i missed is an explanation of the card abilities. Help button and spinning card in top right corner is a damn good idea :)
Good catch hahaha, the menu is technically "playable", as you can move the guy and shoot in it :P. Yeah I didn't get a chance to put the card explanations in the game so the best I could do was add it in the description. Thanks for playing!
Really fun gameplay wise and the art is nice too. The only thing I would say is that it could use some sound effects and more difficult enemies. Otherwise great game!
Thanks for playing!! Sound effects and enemies was definitely the next on my list, but didn't get there in time!
Very fun game with simple but fun gameplay that gets chaotic really quick! The art is also really nice, I enjoyed it!
Glad you liked it! :D
Neat little game, I had fun playing it, the art is super cute! Good job :)
Thanks for playing!!
Great Work ! Most of the time, I ended up dying because of the teleportation card that teleported me straight into a blob lmao. The movement and shooting feels great :) ! I like when the projectiles burst in every direction .
Appreciate it! I did add some invincibility to the teleport, but yes you unexpectedly land in a spot and have to adjust hahaha. Thanks for playing :)
Very fun game, I enjoyed playing it! I think adding a small margin for blob-on-player collisions could be great for making it easier without changing any gameplay. Similarly, it would be nice to have the current and next cards more noticeable or at least closer to the player character. Continuing in the card variety direction, it could be cool to be able to tell which type of cards blobs drop. That way the player can strategize which cards to pick up and the order they do so. I noticed the blobs tend to group along the edges, which makes gathering their cards very risky. Lastly, I think a custom cursor would add a nice touch to the game. Looking forward to seeing where you take the game!
Hi, great feedback!
I agree, I did find myself dying to like a small pixel of the blob and having a risky time around edges.
Also did want to put the a smaller current card on top of the player but didn't get to it. The blob card drop being shown would be a nice addition which I was still thinking about so thanks for bringing it up again :) A custom cursor would be a great nice to have which will go in the list :P
Thanks for playing!
great use of the theme and special object. Good idea. I feel like I have to just play what I got, no matter the current card, since there is little time to think about what the card does.
Thanks for the feedback! I agree with you, it's definitely one I was stuck thinking about and wasn't sure how I could show it before time ran out or limiting the one ability rule. I have some things in mind which will maybe be there for the future :)
Nice game, like the implementation of cards and the chaotic feel of the game
Thanks!!!
I immediately noticed your game from the charming art but I wasn't expecting such chaotic gameplay, I gotta say its a blast to see such a simple top down shooter turn into a "WHO WOULD WIN? 1 MILLION BLOBS OR 1 CARD" lol, great game! Oh yeah I think I found a bug, you can gain points after you die by chance from blobs hitting your shield thing and getting crammed together so hard that you pick up cards from it.
Hahaha thank you!!! I did notice that bug, but couldn't find the cause in time. Will fix when I get the chance!
This is a very charming game. The chaotic nature was very fun and the artwork fit the action well. Nicely done!

Its not a bad game, tho it was hard for me to get the hang of it at first.
Hey! Thanks for your feedback, I did want to add scaling difficultly so it starts out slower but ran out of time in the end, which I guess makes it truly an "arcade style" shooter 😆. I might add a key of the different cards and what they do!
