Card Encounter is my first solo entry. I tackled a card-based pseudo-RPG idea using GameJs, Brackets for Mac, and GIMP.
I wanted to make a more creative use of the theme so I explored the idea that, "you only get one," and the rest will be used against you. This in mind, each round of cards gives you one new card, but passes two to your opponents.
This game isn't exactly a technological feat but I wanted to develop in iterations leaving almost everything on a long enhancement list. This worked out well as we got house guests at about 6 PM on day 2. You see what made it in, here are a few things that didn't:
Audio (What are ya gonna do?)
Modifier cards (armor, weapons, etc.)
Animations and particle effects (something to space out the rapid flow of the game)
Introduction and instructions
A bit more fanfare upon victory or defeat
I had fun and I learned a lot. Please enjoy.
