How is your game related to the Theme and Special Object?
Can you outlive the mushroom madness. The only ability you have to fight this fungal force is your ability to release the cards you have collected. The card special object is the core damage of your skills, you collect the cards and deal damage based on the value or face of the cards. Controls: WASD to move, Q to use skill, SHIFT+WASD to move slowly, P to pause game.

Love the game concept! Especially when the bullets pattern changed. Only thing I didn't like is it felt like I was barely doing damage to the boss. I lost after almost reaching 50% of his hp. It was still fun to play
At first I through that the boss health takes too long to drop, but getting good combos makes up for it all. Q, J and green A and you do 320 dmg, nearly a full stage drop. I liked it all but the player is hard to control if they are too far out as the camera zooms out. Either way, Mushroom Vanquished!!!
Nice Visuals and Audio although had some weird visual bugs from time to time
As for game play I've realized soon that i can just sit in one place and wait for cards to hit me basically beating game afk but that would take more than half an hour with how much health boss have
Credits to the artists, check the link on our page description.
That's one way to play the game haha, in all honesty, we may have made the HP a bit too high. Thanks for the feedback!
Really cool concept. I felt like it was taking way too long to chip away at the boss' health but maybe I didn't figure out the best combos yet. The visuals are great but I was really missing some visual feedback when you take damage.
I found it quite difficult to see which cards I was picking up, especially since fullscreening the game cut off both health bars.
Overall this was a great concept and great use of theme!
Yeah, we were kind of trying to incentivize coming up with a strategy for choosing cards by making the boss HP much higher. We may have fumbled with the probabilities of the card drops by a bit so Aces were a tad too rare...
The art came from artists here on itch.io, you should definitely check them out using the links in our game page description. We wanted to add more visual feedback and effects but sadly we overestimated our abilities to pull them off given this was our first game jam XD
And yes, I believe we messed up the resolution scaling. Not sure how to know if it works since it worked on our computers so we'll definitely keep it in mind in our next jam.
Hey, thanks for the feedback though! We really appreciate it :D
Ah yeah I play on a 16:10 monitor so that's probably why it's different for me. Most people use 16:9 but there's a decent percent of laptops out there that are 16:10 so it's good to make sure you support that as well. Most game engines let you choose your resolution in editor so I always check both those aspects and make sure the UI scales properly.
Absolutely love the game, animations, and mechanics. feels super fluid to play, awesome idea! Definitely gets a little tedious w/ the boss' health, but outside of that its super cool
Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. The animations are from artists here on itch.io, you should definitely check them out, links in our description.
This game was so fun! The boss had a lot of HP but I finally "vanquished" the monster. This would be very fun if this was like a boss rush of some sort! Good job!
Thank you! It does have a lot of HP haha, but a proper strategy with your card combinations can make the game easy to beat!
very original game definitely fun to play! and the game over sound was funny!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :D
Very funny! But also very hard to beat the boss ... damn!
Feels like a boss fight in times of SNES games.
Thanks for playing! It's not a boss for nothing haha. But it is easily beatable with the proper strategy, it'll just take some luck and time.
interesting concept, on theme, nice presentation. Well done.
Thanks for playing our game! Appreciate the feedback
Obviously a lot of time spent polishing the visuals, very nice! Gameplay could be expanded in some fun ways, a good concept :)
Thanks for the feedback! The royalty-free assets we used were from different artists here on itch.io, you can check them out in the description on the game page.
Glad you enjoyed the concept! Yeah, we had a lot of ideas on how to make the gameplay a lot more interesting, but we overestimated how much work we could do within 2 days so we had to botch several ideas in favor of completion XD
Nice work, would love to see even more bullet pattern variations :D
Thanks for playing! Yeah me too haha, it was our first time messing with this implementation of bullet pattern generation so we only managed to cook up a few patterns for this short jam.
This was a lot of fun. Great use of the theme and cards! Great game.
Thanks for playing it! Glad you enjoyed it.
I really liked the art!
awesome game, good job!
Thanks! The artwork we used was from the free assets selection on itch.io, you can check them out in the game page where we linked the artists :D
Really great! You should include controls in the description.
Thank you! Oh right, thanks for pointing that out haha
I think this is one of the best game in the jam i hope you get into the first places
Thanks, this means a lot! Glad you enjoyed the game despite it being a short one! :D
