Had to write this down before even playing: dope music!

...now I've played a couple of games. Dope graphics too, gives me a nostalgic horror-Flash vibe. I've not seen many card games during LDs, so this is pretty novel in itself. And the strategy of playing it too (balancing the value of life vs power, hey that's the theme!) is interesting.

The game is great and fun to play, the music is amazing. However, there needs to be a quit game feature

Thanks for feedback everyone! @joe-bell Yeah, I forgot about it! I was focusing on web version only. I think I can add it right now. For now, you can only quit it by alt+f4.

Can you set the quality lower on the WebGL version, really lagging for me?
Evolus29 Apr 2019, 10:43
Really nice game

@madbeagle Hmm, that's so weird. I'll consider it. Maybe you have to try play it on other browser.

Yeah it's strange. My game is pretty unoptimised, some very expensive 3d models but still seems to run smoothly in Safari.

Borysauthor29 Apr 2019, 11:07
@madbeagle if so, you can always download the game if you are on windows.

I enjoyed playing this. The graphics and music fit the mood nicely.

Music is spot on; art is spot on - really feel the part. Game seems pretty balanced, too, which is impressive. Would be nice to have some sound effects on attack, death, etc.

One of the best games in terms of graphics I've played so far!

How can i say that in one word… löve the game. Pretty cool. Spend many time on it keep it up guys ! Simple, nice and cool. Waiting for an other version with more stuff !
Mia Devs29 Apr 2019, 14:21
Good Graphics But Need More Sound Effects Like On Card Click And On Mouse Drag

Great graphics and music. The random nature of the game and it seemed I started with less cards made it quite difficult to win. There was some strategy, but didn't seem to be enough for my taste. Still it visually was great and had a great horror vibe.

Took me 3 tries to finish! Cool art, spooky music. Nice mechanics, had me thinking how to best match cards.

Borysauthor29 Apr 2019, 15:42
Thanks for feedback everyone, you are awesome!
@dk5000p Yeah, player has less cards than the opponent, but more powerful. Player mustn't be wasteful. Although it's possible to win, but it's kinda hard.

jjjjason29 Apr 2019, 15:53
@borys It is quite hard, I managed to get the enemy down to their last hand twice now before dying :D
Borys
Borysauthor29 Apr 2019, 15:58
@jjjjason I know it's hard, I had situation where the enemy had its last card and I had died then haha PS. Are you still playing it? :D
Lugo4229 Apr 2019, 16:37
I like the music and the mood, nice art tho

A card game! I am have had a few months in Hearthstone so i know about the value of cards (attack to health) so i really enjoyed the game!
glibjibb29 Apr 2019, 18:05
Kinda confusing, but really nice atmosphere
PCh29 Apr 2019, 19:16
Really nice gameplay, well executed card game. Simple, intuitive but not easy.
Some visual/sound effects would do wonders to make this a great game.
paul5929 Apr 2019, 19:42
Very nice sounds, graphics and layout. Unfortunately I get this nasty graphical glitch which stops me from playing properly. I think it's a Unity issue as I've noticed it with a few Unity games (html5).
Borys
Borysauthor29 Apr 2019, 19:55
Thanks everyone for feedback again!
@paul59 Whaat?! I see this glich for the first time and don't know what this exactly is. You can always download the game if you're using windows.

no bug, the job is done nice game :)
seriar29 Apr 2019, 20:23
LIked the art alot. The music is also very good. I do not play card games usually so i had to play couple of times before i figured some simple strategy and won for the first time.

It was interesting, thank you
Rancoud29 Apr 2019, 20:43
Good work! I think it will be a good idea to put tutorial inside the main game.
Borys
Borysauthor29 Apr 2019, 20:45
@rancoud I made special level that there is a normal gameplay, but with precise explanation.
paul5929 Apr 2019, 21:11
@borys It could be a rendering issue with Firefox (or Linux graphics drivers) but it only happens with a few Unity web-based games. I'm sure it's nothing to do with your game per se so don't sweat it :D

The thing I liked the most is the presentation, 110/10 under this aspect. The only thing I would do is to make the numbers less generic and easier to understand with some symbol next to them, like a heart near the life or something like that, just to make things easier to read. Excellent game overall.

Beautiful art, great music. It really sets the mood. Took me a bit to figure out what was happening, but afterwords, I loved the strategy around it. I wasn't quite sure what I was trying to do until I was almost out of cards and put it together. Amazing game. Loved it!

One of the best looking games I've seen in this LD. Music and mood are awesome. The game balance seems to be quite good. I played it about 10 times and all of them ended in close matches.

I figure there wasn't time for it, but it would've been cool if the cards themselves had individual sound effects when used.

Had a lot of fun with this one!

Wow, really strong on the graphics and music! They together nicely with the demon/hell theme, and really sell the overall vision.

I managed to win, and it was really close - I think I won with my last card standing! Cool, simple game. I didn't even do the tutorial until after I played, and I managed to figure it out as I went along, although the numbers on the right confused me a bit and I had to watch them carefully to get it. The tutorial is nice and to the point - I should have used it right away.

Solid scope for an LD compo. If expanded I'd want to see a few more unique elements on the card to give me a bit more to think about as I'm facing various scenarios.

Nice entry!

The mood is perfect. The gameplay is very simple and quite good.
At some point at lost because I sacrificed my last card to his last card and I though both were going to draw (and I had more cards). So it's even more complex than just going for the most beneficial maths.

The value trade simulator! I "lost" the tutorial, but then I realized what I am supposed to do and from then it was pretty tough to lose. Still, the game forced me to think every "turn", which is amazing. I mostly didn't read the card names or even saw the art to be honest, as my eyes only focused on the numbers, but the dark theme does fit well along with the audio. And nice Game Over screens :D

I just now realised it's a compo entry :open_mouth:

Simply amazing. Most teams would not be able to make a game like this in 72 hours.

One word : Dope. Hopefully you don't mind if I keep this game a little longer on my PC ? I want to play it on my spare time.

Sincerely, this was great. It's a bit sad there's not a lot of strategy to it, since the amount of cards is quite limited, but damn it was fun to play, pretty, and the music really enhances the atmosphere of dread and helplessness. Okay, maybe not that far, since you can win pretty easily, but man, this is one of the best games I've played for this jam. Looking forward for you next jam ;)

Love the art and animations - everything is very smooth!

The cross in tutorial doesn't actually close the tutorial (seems like it's obstructed by an invisible button that advances the tutorial).
The music was a little repetitve, so I just turned it off an played the game by some Disturbed songs :))

Giggity.
hutchings904 May 2019, 01:08
Very well done! The game plays well and the tutorial was excellent. I noticed in the tutorial that it says "This is your table" for both tables. Shouldn't it say "This is your enemy's table" for the upper table? Also, having a different color for the attack value than the regular text would have been a little more clear.

Cool concept, not sure if it would've made it too easy but maybe showing the next few cards would make it less unpredictable and more strategic? Fun nonetheless!

This is a nice puzzle/card game! I love the graphics and atmosphere you've created here. I think you should show the next card/few cards as well, it would help with planning. Overall nice work though!
Beastiebeastie5 May 2019, 18:50
Really fun to see a card game here, something a bit different. Love the graphics and music. Game is simple to get the hang of but reasonably difficult with the enemy having more cards than you. Excellent work!
