  • I defeated all the locations, Im the best! Haha, but seriously for a simple mechanics card game it works very well. Unsolicited suggestion: have the enemy draw at the same time so that we dont get a free round. Creativity is on point, a simple but effective card battler. Gameplay is great, simple and efficient. Theme is great. Although not super well represented through out the game, and just the story. Polish is very high. Some sounds like the fire are a bit weird and loud. Some enemies seem to be very defensive and would never attack.

In three days, developing a card game seems to be a very difficult task.

Although you are certainly well done, by how you managed to do a lot!

This is very fun! I can definitely see the potential for more complex cards and interactions, love how fast paced the turns are but it did feel like sometimes the match was very back and forth depending on how many healing spells there were.

Nice game, I had fun with it. Nicely polished and good atmosphere created.

The AI wasn't very smart in this, but the cards were well designed, and the visuals and sfx were awesome. I spent way too much time in this, but the game denied me my last disintegration lol.


Great game!

I love deck builders - This was pretty straight forward and fun. I couldn't stop playing. lol
Are you going to keep working on it?

Developer

Thanks! I'm not sure whether to make a game out of this or use it as a battle system in the space game from the previous jam.

Pretty simple and attractive gameplay, nice job. Completed full game and was waiting for some sort of endng or at least screen like "You are the greatest mage in this region now. Game over." Also effect sound toggle is not working...

Developer

Thanks! Sorry I didn't have time to put up a screen for the winning scenario :'(

Fun little game with a lot of polish.  Card battlers like this are always fun - very ambitious for a 3 day jam.  Only critique is the enemies all felt about the same (same strategy, card variety), and the hover text / tooltip / selection of cards was a bit finicky.

Overall really great entry.

Developer

Yes, you're right.  All enemies are mostly the same, and all of them are dumb.  Thanks!

This is really nice! Takes a second to figure out what i'm doing but when i did it's pretty fun!
