The graphics are professional, the mechanics are very easy to learn, and the advice spouted by the gurus is absolutely hilarious. Just plain fun.\r\rMy only nitpick is that your success or failure depended a lot on the random appearance of the cards, but then, that's kind of hard to avoid in a game like this.\r\rOne of the funniest and sleekest LD entries I've played. Hope you score high."},{"author_name":"Almax27","author_uid":"21581","time":"Dec 19, 2015 @ 7:50pm","epoch":1450554300,"text":"This is fecking genius. Hands down my favorite game so far!

The sound effects will still play.\r\n\r\nThe goal is to reduce the opponent's amount of followers to zero by playing quote cards and convincing their followers to join you.\r\n\r\nA card costs karma (purple gems). Your current karma is displayed in the top left corner. Your opponents current karma is displayed in the top right corner.\r\n\r\nAt the start of every turn you and your opponent gain one karma.\r\n\r\nA card has a color-coded type, displayed under the name of the card. This type can be: body (red), mind (blue), soul(white) or spirit (green).\r\n\r\nEvery type of card counters one other type of card. This is displayed under 'Counters' on the card. Body counters Mind, Mind counters Soul, Soul counters Spirit and Spirit counters Body.\r\n\r\nIf you counter your opponents card with one of yours, you gain followers from your opponent. Most will go to you, while a few will go to the neutral camp. If your opponent counters you with his card, the same will happen, but for him. If neither of you counter each other, no changes will occur.\r\n\r\nSome cards have special effects. These special effects only happen when countering with a card, unless otherwise stated on the card. These effects can range from doubling the amount of followers you get to gaining followers from the neutral camp.\r\n\r\nSome cards also have effects with which you gain extra karma. These effects always happen regardless of countering, even if that is not explicitly stated on the card. Use this to your advantage.\r\n\r\nIf you can't or don't want to play a card, you can use the big purple button in the left bottom corner to play the meditate effect. The meditate effect costs no karma, but gains you one extra karma in addition to the karma you always gain at the start of your turn. The drawback of the meditate effect is that it is countered by every other type of card, so use it wisely and with caution.\r\n\r\nEvery now and then a random event happens. Be surprised!\r\n\r\nAnd most of all: have fun!\r\n\r\n[END TUTORIAL]\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nHello,\r\n\r\nThank you for visiting our game.\r\n\r\nOur game is about rising to the top as a guru by battling other gurus in a quote contest. The game is essentially a card game where the objective is to defeat all the gurus. A guru is defeated by reducing his amount of followers to zero.\r\n\r\nWe hope you enjoy our game!\r\nAnd if you like it, please consider sharing it.\r\n\r\nTom and Luca\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you find any technical errors or have suggestions for the game, please let us know through the comments.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[F.A.Q.] \r\n\r\nThe game does not work! - Unfortunately our game does not work on Internet Explorer. It should work fine on both FireFox and Chrome. If you find any other technical errors, please let us know through the comments.\r\n\r\nHow big is your team? - We are with two: Tom and Luca, both programmers.\r\n\r\nHow much time did this take? - We both worked for about 45 hours on this game. We built it almost from scratch.\r\n\r\nWhy aren't you competing in the audio category? - The music loop you hear in the game is part of a composition that is free to use for freeware. We did not make it ourselves, so we chose not to compete in the audio category.\r\n\r\nWhy is there no tutorial or help screen? - When we were finishing up the game it was already deep into the night. We decided to focus on making the game playable first. Unfortunately the rules do not permit us to change the current version of the game to include a tutorial.\r\n\r\nThe game seems unbalanced! - We did our best in the 72 hours we had, but it's terribly difficult to build and balance a card game in that time frame. We focused on getting it working first and balancing second.\r\n\r\nThe battles take a long time! - As stated in the above answer we focused on building the game first. Battle time is a part of the balance of the game. We balanced it as best we could, but were unable to totally nail it down in 72 hours.","title":"GURU"}
