Memory puzzle meets card game meets a hungry demon rabbit. 🐰

To play:

Use the left mouse button for everything.

1) Match 2 cards on the board. 2) Play a card from your hand onto the board, and repeat.

If you can no longer match cards on the board, you'll have to sacrifice a life card. Once you're out of life cards, it's game over.

There's no quick way to restart the game currently. Sorry!

Usually solitaire sounds like a boring game, but that tiny bunny makes it so much more enjoyable XD You need to plan ahead and make sure you have a pair on your hand, before solving the whole thing.
The only caveat I have is that you can't "un-choose" a card you selected for putting on the "board"^^

Good job with the game! Had some challenge in setting up the board and hand for clearing the board.
Would've liked to be able to cancel which card to put on the board after clicking a card in your hand.
But nice job nonetheless :thumbsup:

Very cute game and nice graphics! It was a nice twist on memory games where you put cards back on the board. Keep up the good work.

Loved the new take on the classic memory game. It's ridiculosly addictive. Endless replayability plus addictive. You did something right.

Great and fun game, good job! It would have been a great addition if you could see your best score somewhere.

Really adorable graphics! The mechanics are really enjoyable and have good replay value. The only obvious issue I saw was being unable to deselect a card.

Fun game! Got a score of 345 eventually. I hoped there was a way to completely satisfy the rabbit but after 5 minutes of playing I gave up on that. But then I kept playing for 5 more minutes just because it was fun :)
Cool rules and the talking rabbit really adds to the charm.

definitely requires a lot of concentration not to end up with unmatchable pairs at the end. given that that part is the real challenge, maybe the mid-game where you're just clearing the board should be accelerated somehow? maybe powerup cards and things?

Nice graphics, simple to understand but difficult avoid mistakes. Only down side is that you can not change your choice of card to put on the board once you have clicked it.

Really nice game! Easy to understand, but hard to master. I would have loved some music, but other than that it's a really solid entry!

Nice and simple, but quite challenging. I really liked it, nice job :smiley:

It would've been nice to be able to unselect the cards (in case I accidentally clicked one), but that's very minor.

The overall look of the game was very nice as well.

Demon bunny is too cute! 🐰

Was already interested after hearing about how the game works but actually playing it really solidified what a cool concept it is! Really interesting to bring the concept of lives into it, since in regular solitaire if you're stuck you just… lose. 😗

I take it there's no win state to the game, tho? Since I was noticing it was kind of difficult to get a perfect board (much like in real solitaire) I kind of expected the game to end once I actually managed to clear the board. There's no specific amount of rounds I have to play to win? Just the final score after my lives are up? Just to make sure! I thought maybe the meter with the rabbit face had something to do with this too but I actually never managed to figure out what it does. ): What was that tied to?

Then of course there's the fact that it isn't just solitaire but also memory! Works really well! Cool game overall that I can definitely see developing into something post-jam. 💜

Very cute matching game! I liked the sounds and art. The background movement was a nice touch :)
