I liked the idea behind the game and with a little more tweaking the AI could be made more challenging that it is right now. The art is really well done and the cards have some very unique abilities that I've not seen before in a card game. I hope you plan on continuing this after the jam as I believe you have something really special here. Some more characters possibly with there own distinct style of play, add in some funny sounds when playing a card and some wacky monster music and I could see this on steam early access :laughing: Anyways, congrats on completing the Jam!","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"jin47","author_uid":"1009952","time":"2019-04-30T12:30:57Z","epoch":1556627457,"modified":1556627457,"text":"I really enjoyed that game!. There is a nice balance of the cards and with more effects (there is already planty) this could be a really cool concept.\nDestroying the principle of mana and only having 1 single currency for a card game is a really nice turn of concept!\nI would have liked few sound effects and maybe more visual feedbacks but the gameplay loop is here and it is fun!

Yup! sound was a miss! About the randomness is something we experimented with. At the end we decided to go to fully deterministic. But there is a lot to experiment in that regard.\n\n@kunonooni Thanks for your motivational post. We put a lot of thought into the card interactions. Different AI's with different card pools would be cool. Right now the AI is inexistent it just throws cards at random. Early access is something I'd love but I don't know if I will be able to update it frequently enough.\n\n@jin47 ^_^ I'm so happy form the wining game of the jam. If it wasn't for the life is currency thing, this game wouldn't be half as interesting. Thank you!\n\n@kpedatte Thanks! Multiplayer would be cool. Implementing multiplayer is way too scary right now xD\n\n@copito Thank you very much. Yes, you can win the game 50% of the times just playing randomly (because is what the AI does). Anyway, as an excuse for that, it is fine that people can beat the game with 1 or 2 tries. It heps testing the game.\n\n@ristoretto Love to see people post their crazy combos! This game could perfectly be a roguelike with deckbuilding. Thinking of it.\n\n@cheebz I'm glad you enjoyed making choices in our tinny card puzzle.

Played many rounds and still wanted more :)\nThe graphics were a mixed bag: I really liked those cartoony sprites but the graphic design work on both the fonts as well as the kind of ugly gradients could be better in my opinion. That didn't really matter though as I cared more about the fun game loop.\nChoosing which cards to play in which order was really fun and made all the difference. I lost some fights but generally it was a pretty easy game to win against the \"AI\". The fact that you made the AI so predictable was actually kind of cool though as it turned it into more of a puzzle game.\nIt'd be super interesting to play this game against a real human being. I'd love to have a local multiplayer mode.\nAnyway, great submission!
