cute lil game. i love the stylee. i do realise its a prototype, and im not sure if youd abandoned the project or anything, id just like to give my thoughts anyway so i hope you dont mind 🙈
took me forever to realize that the 10 is displayed as an X which looks a bit too similar to the K lol. if they were all in roman numerals then it wouldv made more sense to assume that it was a 10. or maybe if the X was less stylized with the serifs
the Q and 8 are also kinda similar heh. i understand the limitations in the pixel art tho.
the letter names for the suits was a bit non-intuitive for me. i got it eventually but it took awhile 😅 maybe an accessibility option can be toggled where it shows suit symbols in the art instead. im sure u could make some cute suit symbols
pause menus are pretty easy things to implement in code that most people would appreciate, especially especially in games with timers
