- Love the menu screen with the cards! Creative integration of the game mechanics into what is usually a boring part of any game. Nice job! Very thoughtful. I was a bit bummed clicking on settings and credits didn't work though. I checked in two browsers, Chrome and Firefox. The game mechanics were very well done. Selecting a card by clicking is simple and was self explanatory. Placing the card was satisfying because of the audio that went along with it. I loved the card sounds. I wasn't able to un select a card once I'd selected it. Making it so I could sort through the cards without committing to a selection would help the player relax a bit and have more time to see what they've got in their hand. The theme was well incorporated into the overall design and gameplay. The little chip being a weapon that moves and attacks according to the cards was really well done way to enjoy being a weapon in a game. It felt really good to get the card progression figured out and hit the other player. The sound design is excellent! The sound effects and music are really well done. They give a suspenseful, epic feeling as you play. The sounds help to reinforce what's happening with the game mechanics. One way to improve your game would be to incorporate a bit of explanation into the game as things move: the benefits of choosing the different types of weapons at the start, if there are any; the chip at the bottom being your weapon/movement item; the cards placed, maybe a dialogue to show what that card will do; etc. Great game!! There was a lot of detail and hard work put into this, I could tell! It came across very well. I hope you keep working on this! Excellent job and thank you for your submission.

Summarise your game!
'Way of the Weapon' is a tactical cardgame.
You and your opponent take turns placing 5 cards.
Top-row cards use their top effect; bottom-row cards use their bottom effect.
Once both sides place 5 cards, you start moving.
Weapons follow the directions on the cards they step on.
Cross the middle line after stepping on 3+ cards to attack!
On the opponent’s side, you move straight ahead, ignoring all directional cards.
Reach the opponent's edge to deal damage!
Stepping on traps on the opponent’s side hurts you—set traps to hurt them!
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You are the weapon and the cards become a medium to direct your attacks.

Looks cool. Plays great. The only issue I had is a bit slow feeling pace of the game.
Very cool card game, I lost the first time but won the second time once I understood the rules. The minimum of 3 cards is what I needed to use. I think the core mechanics are there, it just needs a bit more variety in cards with special effects. Art style was great, I thought the board design was really good and intuitive. I am impressed with your entry, well done!!
Thank you! :)
I really like the game. The enemy is really hard :D Tried 5 times and did not win.
It is a shame once you selected a card you cant unselected.
I Really like it!
You can unselect a card by pressing 'R'.
There is UI next to the card that shows the button, but maybe i made it to small haha.
Glad you liked it!
okay thanks!
