Really solid game! The art was great, and using record scratch to represent rap voice was a fun idea. The UI was a bit sparse. I would have liked just a little bit more indication of what was going on, but it fit the aesthetic well.

This was great. I didn't think it fit the theme much but it was an awesome game on its own merits. Card system seems like it'd be pretty expendable but still fun. I wonder if you might want a timer on making moves to keep a better pace.

Not really sure what hype and flow do...

Absolutely genius idea. By the end I was freestyle rapping to myself 10/10

Nice entry, the graphics and sound were pretty good, and the use of record scratch for voices is indeed original, as well as the rap battle / card game thing, i was just a bit confused by the mechanics, i didn't really knew what to choose to counter the opponent,

a good game nontheless :)

Well done! I truly do hope you win something!
Game was well implemented with some cool tactics, even though they took a minute to figure out.

Simple gameplay, but a lot of fun, great graphics and audio :) I'm glad someone else made a card game too! Great job.

Art looks awesome, sounds was amazing too. I like the concept but was confused by the game mechanics a little bit.

This is a very neat idea! :)
The text on the cards was a bit hard to read in the web version though. Even when fullscreen, it was really hard to read the text on the card your opponent played.

Ow, greate game here, ah! I love the battle with cards.
I would like to take this opportunity to ask a favor. You already rated my game, but I was not allowed "innovation rating." Please could you assess this item now? Take the opportunity to play with some corrections. Very thanks:http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=36629

Polished design, fun to play, I didn't catch the link with any theme, but... A rap battle with a card game ! All is said.

Super solid and polished. The cards should be expanded just a little. Also, stating the relationship between flow and hype is a must.

This was cool! Art's good, beat's good, and loved that scratches stood in for words. I now know how precarious freestyling can be.

Neat graphics and audio, but it's too hard to win and there isn't usage of theme. Overall a great and original game.

4/5

Super great entry! Thats indeed the first rap battle card game. I wished you had more explained the cards before. I'm a dumpnuss in rap battles ;-).

Where is the 2 player mode? Need it! Now :) !

The two guys look great, the sounds 'Fett' it's polished.

Only the theme...is no 5 stars...but thats only a minor concern.

Rest is 5 for me!

Tight graphics and music, really contributed to the quality of the game. Cards were initially a bit confusing, but you get the hang of it as you play.

very nice game. would be cool if the heads bobbed in time with the music. also the text was a bit small to read and I didnt understand the objective until i won. overall fun game

Some explanation or tutorial would be nice. Still, got the hang of it eventually. The text on the cards was a bit tiny, and viewing the enemy card until button press instead of timed would have been nice for the beginning. The 50% chance cards seemed to backfire whenever I needed them.

Fun concept. I like the music. :)
