Spell by dark_hunter

[raw]
made by dark_hunter for LD28 (JAM)
A simple but epic card game with interesting set of rules.
Play, win and collect (as usual).

*I've uploaded a quick fix for a critical bug when you have all cards collected.

**I didn't have time to compose any tracks. The audio here is a royalty free tracks.

Really fun game, but I don't see how it fits to the theme.
Awesome game!

Really nice game, it took me some time to understand the keep mechanic, but it is really neat, and fits nicely in the theme. well done!

Typos in Tutorial: "commense" should be commence, and "the one who have" should be "the one who has". "two from each" should be rewritten as "two of each"

Otherwise a decent game, but very loosely tied to the theme. I feel as if you wanted to create a card game, and just made up the theme-related component arbitrarily to fit.

That's different to see a card game, nice work! The rules of the game are simple enough to start playing quickly but have enough subtlety to make the decisions interesting.

Solid gameplay and an impressive amount of cards!

Pretty cool card game! I like the concept, but the rules are a tad buggy, for example if you have 1000 life the corrupted priest's ability won't work, and if you both are going to kill each other in the same turn, you win by default, which it should be a draw. Also, would've been cool to be able to deselect your attack and keep card if you change your mind. Was a great experience though, and the eerie music fits well. Not sure how it fits with the theme mind.

Really nice card game. I would give 5/5 for audio but I don't think you made it - I'll check back here later in case you say that you did (I know it's not against the rules for game jam).

Nice game. Good work. Simple and fun deck builder. You should work for a post comp release with sounds, better graphics, music, and of course tablets and phones ports, I think the interface is perfect for those. Good luck!

Incredible, I would never have thought making a collecting card game for a Ludumdare was possible. Were you alone ? If not how many people in your team ?
The gamedesign is simple but efficient. I think you achieved a good on balance on the death for empty deck conditions. I like the fact that the keep mecanic make you run out of card later but also reveal what may be your next move. I dont know if IA care about that anyway.

The game i had the most fun so far! well made mechanic, works really well. i play a lot of card games and yours is very entertaining. the random of the game force to just have the most damaging card and can't be a reliable mechanic on a full game but you can balance it with a card cost (maybe card cost more or less health to be played). but i play like one hour of it and really enjoyed it.

Simple amazing game, I'd love to be able to collect more than 2 of each card though, or have more cards to get... but I understand it was made in such a short time so you couldn't have too many cards.. and the ammount you already have is very impressive!!

I just love the game overall, 5 stars! Very addictive!

Really cool music, really cool game. Reminds me of Yu-Gi-Oh! (except very different). Enjoyed getting Boris with insane power. (I think that was his name anyway). Nice one.
