Ah here this is astoundingly well thought out. One of the last games i've played in this jma and its such a nice surprise. Very satisfying combining cards to do hefty damage and I audibly gasped when it turned into an isometric dungeon crawler. Amazing entry, thanks for jamming ✨

Developer

Thank you for the nice words, had a ton of fun in this jam!

Game was fun :)

This is amazing. 2 types of games in one. Had real fun and kept on playing for quite some time. A very polished game in such a short amount of time. Really congrats. This can be easily made into a full game. By easy I mean gameplay and lore wise if there is enough content for more levels. Real nice art and music too. All the best !!


Maybe you can provide some feedback on my game as well. It's less detailed compared to yours haha

This is awesome! I like the mechanics for the card battling and it was fun getting upgrades after each fight, it made me want to do all of them. I didn't fully understand why sometimes I had a bunch of mana to start a turn,  but I was never mad about it haha. The isometric overworld is really cool too. Great job on this it is fun!

Developer

Thank you so much! 

The mana thing was probably the upgrade you get by the power of dice

Wow, I really liked this game! The music too. I was getting really excited to get to the overworld, so I was a bit disappointed to see that this is where the game currently ends. :(
I hope to continue playing it someday, when it is finished. Also, there are a few annoying bugs: At the start of every fight I get the "No more mana" text and I need to actually run out of mana to make it go away (maybe it's because I skipped the intro, as I have played this game once before the jam finished) and the boss' music continues playing after beating it... also, the password thing could've maybe had a better design (show if the password is wrong, retry, ... and to not make it scrollable). I also think it would be really fun if those face cards (Ace, queen, ...) could be stacked, so one multiplies another one and that the next one and so on.
But overall, I think this game really has potential to be made into a real good one!

Developer

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! 

I actually wanted to add those features you mentioned but I ran out of time

I didn't like the music, but the game itself is awesome. I love it.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!

Really really has a lot of potential, I'm guessing a Balatro/undertale or maybe Inscryption inspiration here

Having so few actions meant it felt a bit awkward to play out my turns and I couldn't set up many combos which I think is where the fun mostly is with a game like this

I liked the idea of the overworld, but I didn't feel like I made many choices just walked to each next button/enemy

I think if you spend a bunch of time getting feedback and iterating on this it could be really really fun!

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind when I get to updating this game

And yeah I did get inspiration from Undertale, nice catch hehe

I had a good time playing it, I do wish there was a little more strategy in the cards you play because I feel like the battles were a little bland, but I like the aesthetics and feel that it was made very well. I liked the overworld travel and the upgrade variety.

Developer

I'm glad you had a good time! And I will try to add more strategy when I update this game in the future
