Thank you for the kind words. There were two of us (I & Sockhousestudios). I have participated in three other jams, and they have an actual solo game shipped on Steam.
Could you suggest any areas of improvement?

Sure thing:
- An options menu would have been nice to control the volumes of the FX, music, etc
- Totally subjective, but I didn’t notice the “scoring info” button at first. Moving the UI around a little might help with this - like raising the “poker tower” box slightly and placing some of our buttons under it. Would also clear up some room so we can see more of the background art and keep that as the “play area”
- I feel like an additional failure condition, like a timer to ascend to the next tower level, could have been interesting. Or possibly taking too long would burn a random card in your deck.
I really enjoyed the wild card - more creative cards like that could have been fun too, but of course, that would add to the scope significantly
