Great game! The art is good and the gameplay is fun. Something that would make this cooler is if there were different merge results for different cards.

Developer

Yeah, but there are only 3 merged cards = (

Interesting game! Everything is great, but I think it would be cool if the enemies visualized their attacks and also had cards. After the jam you should edit some mistakes in the text. Good luck!

Thanks!

Loved all of the card art, it took me a while to realise that i could merge the cards, which is a very cool concept. All the cards with very specific details kept it interesting. Really nice entry! 

Developer

Thanks James! Great that you liked the game

Submitted

It was fun yet repetitive :)

Developer

I enjoyed the game a lot! The art on the cover instantly wanted me to play it. Your game page is also nicely designed. I played this few times and had a lot of fun. I really liked the merge concept.  Made it interesting. Your in game UI was amazing too.  Loved the goofy looking enemies. Well done! All the best!

Maybe you can check out my game and provide any suggestion/feedback on how to improve on it.

I like it! Fun game but there were so little choices I made and it felt like the game was just chance. Still, I had a lot of fun playing it!

Developer

I know, the time don't allowed me to put more content inscide the game, Thanks for the commentary!

This game is SO fun. You did a great job creating a set of fun rules for a card game and making it feel unique and engaging. Definitly coming back to replay since I'm sure my luck is whats bogging me down.

I fell great seeying that peaple are actually enjoing my game, Thanks!

I defeated all the enemies, except the king of cards. The game is playable, but not very engaging. The only choices I had were the sequence of playing cards, and whether or not to merge them. I liked some of mechanics of choosing the sequence, for example it was important to play the king before the queen.I think the game would be more interesting , if you had for example five cards in hand, but could play only three. Then a player would have more choices to make.
Also, I'd like to point out that the drawings are decent. They are simple, but they do their job well. And the color palette is good.

Developer

Thanks! I had no choice to put the 5 hand size because I only made 9 cards, excluding merged, and I would be even more repetetive with 5 cards on the hand, I know that the enemy drawings are bad, I don't know how to make good pixel art, Thanks again!

Submitted(+1)

But your drawings are good. They are really expressive and stylised and funny. 

Developer

Thanks! Comments like yours make my day!

Submitted

It's a nice game!

Developer

Thanks!

This was fun, I really liked the merge mechanic to cycle through your hand more quickly. Maybe with some more cards or some deck building this has the potential to be a very fun strategy game.

Developer

Thanks for the deck idea, maybe I can implement this in a future update. : )

Submitted

cool game! i wish there are more merge types tho, sometimes i merge and end up getting a worse card ;_;

Developer

There are only 3 types of merged ;-; I ran out of time, maybe in a next update I can fix the 3 because it is broken and add more cards, Thanks!

Submitted
I didn't understand the game
Developer

I was going to add a tutorial to the game, but I ran out of time

Developer

Just click the cards and maybe merge them

Submitted

Cool idea, but i only got king of cards and some ace card when I merged cards.   and its to random which card you get so you can't play very strategic.

Developer

Unfortunately, there are only 3 merged cards in the game, so the it is totally normal to repeat thoose cards, the strategy is when you get the cards and you need to manege how to use them in the best way possible, thanks for the commentary!
