Deck Bomber by Britt Henderson
Deck Bomber is a card game played with up to 4 people/bots!
The goal is to be the last one standing while the bomb explodes everyone else! Take turns playing a card - each card has a value that gets added to the bomb's value when played. When the bomb's value goes beyond 10 or below 0, the bomb explodes on whoever last played the card!! They are then eliminated and the remaining players continue until there is only 1 left.
Every player gets the same deck of 8 cards: [-5, -3, -1, 1, 3, 3, 5, 5] This deck is randomly shuffled at the start of the game - at the start of the first turn, player draws 3 cards into their hand. Every turn they choose one of the three cards in their hand to play, picking up a new card at the start of each turn.
Btw... since this is a jam game, our netcode was done in a weekend. If you try to break it, you'll probably succeed. Also, to play online with friends, download the windows or mac build. WEB ONLINE DOESN'T WORK :'(

Love the music by the way 😀
The gameplay is simple but has surprising depth of strategy.
The graphics and humorous sounds are all a plus in making this a simple and fun experience.
My only gripe is that the AI is a bit too easy to beat, but hey, strategy games and AI are a hard pair to do.
Loved the game! Hope you make a full release, or at least a board game out of this!
It would be fun if there are joker card like x2!
If you plan to expand this you might want to introduce special cards like UNO reverse and skip turn. Maybe also rare cards that set the bomb number to their value rather than summing to it? Maybe rare cards that don't trigger the explosion despite going beyond +/-10? Just some suggestions, it's up to you.
Nice work!
