This one would also have fit the last LD theme, "The More You Have, The Worse It Is", as more victories made it harder and harder to keep up with the bombs. Nicely done!
@fashionbatman About unresponsiveness, without it the player spam the hell out of cards and game become much easier (and also appear some minor bugs). And thx.
@Dumivid The theme was tricky to work with, true, but I've never been more excited to play LD entries as I have on this one, just because of all the weird and interesting genre combinations people have come up with.
I thought I was a smart person. Concentration and matching was apparently not something I was destined to play. "Casual" because you can play it in business casual clothes, "Hardcore" because you can get fired for swearing at your machine while you're playing at work.
This was a fun challenging piece! Having to balance between wacking the bombs and paying attention to the matches makes it a bit challenging at times, which translates into a really rewarding feeling when you get to complete the level. @agentparsec True! I think the main issue I had with the theme was the phrasing. Once I decided my take was "two genres that at first seem incompatible but that then they are not", I was able to stop hating it.
@notb Thank you. Get tired for from triyng pixel art and tried new art style. About theme, still not sure how well they fit togheterm but at least its was some fun to design.
@John Darrington @Eldemarkki@harusame@Shoj92@Rolf Rothgerber Thank you for warm comments. Some say the game it's stresfull, some say addictive, at least no one remain indifferent. Hope everyone will practice in continue, to improve their GD skill and have some fun.
Simple but works really really well, especially the addition of bomb spots as you match cards. Could have used additional mechanics to make it less repetitive over time, but other than that, pretty polished game, well done!
@SvartTand@Talops I know, the game its kinda repetative, but at least is short, beatable in 5-10 minutes and its NOT overscoped as hell. First LD I felt very tired just beacause of huge scope, this time, was much easier (even if i spend like 2-3 hours less tha last time). So yeah, still room to improve.
@dumivid I find it hard to not overscope so well done with that! I couldn't manage to avoid that on my game which, while it can be finished quickly by sequence breaking, lasts very long especially if you're not good with sh'mups. On my end it sure was tiring but so much fun to make!
It's a very relaxing game given that there are bombs about to explode. However i think you could have tried to add more humor to the game by having more complex things on the cards with some theme(i.e.: faces, emojis or else).
@ludum1118 Maybe. I tried to keep cards as simple and memorable as possible. And also i personally don't found emojis very funny. A good idea could be to make cards with different human silhouets, like "funny jokers" or w/e, but this would consume too much time for compo submission, however, this its a good idea for Jam.

It's hard to focus and memorize cards and at the same time keep an eye on bombs.
Cool concept, good job !
