Both the art(UI) and gameplay were solid and really engaging! Honestly, this one felt refreshingly unique.

Well done!


Developer

Thanks for playing. I'm glad you enjoyed the UI, I worked a lot on the UX.

Submitted

Very clean UI, and i actually like these type of card games so here is a Halloween version lol, pretty fun and then i got ganged up on by the Undying Queens and they crushed me, me and my villager didn't have a chance =')

Developer

Lol. Yeah, balance is quite there, right now. Thanks for playing.

Looks cool!

Developer

Thanks.

Submitted

I love how smooth the UI is. It feels so satisfying looking at the attack and death animations. Gives me Inscryption vibes. Gosh I'm amazed this is done in a week

Developer

Thanks for the compliment. The core mechanic wasn't that hard to implement so I had a lot of time to polish it. Inscryption was a major inspiration.

Thanks for playing.

This is very impressive for a one week jam. Well done

Developer

Thanks for the kind words. I'm happy you think so well of it.

He may not be made for fighting, but the villager did some work! A really fun submission - the cards had great personality!! 

Developer

Lol, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for playing.

A very nice card game. Nice mechanics and I like the two decks of cards!

Developer

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you liked the game.

This is a fantastic card game with a really cool vibe! The music is well-composed and adds a lot to the atmosphere, though it could use a volume tweak. The art style gives me Wilds of Eldraine vibes from MTG, which is awesome and adds a lot of character to the gameplay. The sound effect when hovering over the cards is... interesting, Overall, it’s a unique and enjoyable card game.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words.

Really loved the game a personal fan of turn based card games very well done!


really loved the different mechanics of the cards made the game really shine and added a lot of replay ability


the sound design was also really well done loved how each card had their own kinda personality and the voice lines were all really goofy ah!!!


overall really good work excited to see what comes next for you.

Developer

Thanks for playing my game and for the interesting feedback.

Cool game. The cards are well drawn, the animations are cool (but sometimes they bug, for example, there is an empty space between the allied cards). The game lacks balance. At the beginning there is little mana, but at the end there is a lot of it and there are not enough cards. It is also strange that the opponent attacks the player and not his cards. And you can't attack the enemy directly, you need to destroy his cards first, it feels strange. 

Also, for some reason, there are two exe files in the archive :D. If anything, run "Call of the Cards".

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the feedback.

Wanted to play the game on Linux, but it requires Unity or Steam, if I understand correctly. Could launch it if I really wanted, but it takes time and involves security risks (?), compared with playing in browser. I assume, there is more feedback for browser games in game jams, because you just click and play. For simplicity's sake I use JavaScript myself, and many people probably render their Unity games for browser (?).

Developer

Sorry for not making a web build of the game, I didn't consider the platform convenience.

I made a Linux build but to be honest, I have no way of testing it. I was unaware it had dependency requirements.

Thanks for your interest though.

Awesome game! The game mechanics were really solid and super fun😄

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Fun game! I really enjoy card games and this is a pretty fun game that plays a lot like Hearthstone. Definitely would be a cool game to see expanded past the prototype.

Developer(+1)

Hearthstone, MTG, and Inscription were the main inspirations for the actual card game. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for playing.

I love inscryption I can see the inspirations!

Submitted

Great fun, loved the cards noises!

Developer

Lol, I had fun with those.

Submitted

Game got stuck on the enemy's turn on the 6th mana unfortunately but up to that point it played great! Nice aesthetics and sound :)

Developer(+1)

Fixed the bug.

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it.

Submitted

I like the way the game feels. Sadly, i got stuck in opponents turn sometimes.

Developer

I worked a lot on the "game feel" part. There was a bug making the opponent stall around the sixth player turn; it's fixed now.

Thanks for playing, though.
