Interesting concept. I would appreciate to be able to choose between several cards in my hand to get some strategy.
Also, the cards of the computer shows a blue car instead of a yellow car.

Keep working on games to make even better ;)

Reminds me very much of those old horse-race games. A little too RNG, would like to be able to have some choice/skill in it. And the Title of the page is still LD41 Compo. Good work!

Yep, as said before a little of strategy would have make the game more fun. Now you only have to click and hope... Anyway graphics are simple but constant.

As already mentioned, it would be good if there was some strategy to the game. Functional, but rather simplistic. Good job on getting something out that functions though!

I couldn't figure out how to play at first, but based on the comments I assume it's just random card draws. Definitely agree with others that it would be great to be able to choose your cards and put together some kind of strategy. I like the use of the theme.

It's certainly an interesting idea, and the graphics are nice, but it would be really nice to be able to somehow influence the outcome of the card draw. As it stands it's a bit too random and I feel like I don't have any sort of control over the game. Congrats on getting it done, though!

I thought there was perhaps a trick to picking the right card, but it seems random. Read the comments above and yes, it is :) Still, you finished a game an submitted and that is what counts! good work :)

Good Concept

As you said there many things you can add but for game jam it's quit good.

One bug i found that I can click on opponent card deck so at one time opponent card all over but mine is remaining.

Few extra feature come to my mind is

1) Card deck is different from the normal playing card. like Card have power ups like booster, Bullet, Jump, etc.

2) You can give choice to player like player can pick up 3 cards. and than he can select which card he wants to use so it's become semi random game.

Keep working on this :smile:

Well there certainly isn't much to it. It's pretty much like playing War. With that said, it works, and it's actually kind of fun to keep clicking and see the results.

War is what I thought of when making it. I would have added other features if I had the time... like jokers or special cards. Thanks for playing @BelowParallel-Ian

It's not really my cup of tea, but nice effort and idea, esp considering the short timeframe! It fits the theme well, and I think with some work like other commenters suggested it could be pretty interesting. I would like to see non-playing cards like @Yashpal suggested, where you can make decisions like "Do I move forward farther, or do something to hinder the progress of the other car, or make no progress this turn but get more cards next turn".
