Did our clickbait-thumbnail work? :D


This is our deckbuilding mini-roguelite - heavily inspired by Slay the Spire.

Can you beat our highscore time of 4:11 min?

Really cool! Love a deck builder!
Some cool cards, always a fan of a multiplier and sacrifice for big damage! :D

I enjoyed it! Good job!

Cool game! Cant believe you made a actual deck builder in the jam. nice work!

Really solid jam entry, one of the best I played so far! Easy to get into and graphics look great. Completed my run in 8:36, and I had a great time playing :)
Well done guys!

Nice game!! One thing I thought it did particularly better than others was to explain the game well (the how-to-play section was very comprehensive, and hovering the mouse on the UI elements gave a nice explanation in case I didn't remember what an specific thing did), and the gameplay was very engaging. Good work!

Very good game. Like strategy in the game and the different combos. The art works was well done also.

You madlad managed to make a card deck game for a game jam. And really, it was really goddamn fun. Especially the last boss, I really needed to strategize to defeat it. Consider me impressed.

The game is relly fun and the concept of a deckbuilding roguelike where you can summon units is really cool. If you can, consider expanding it into a full game. Good job!

I really like the concept. It's a nice twist on Slay the Spire. The visuals are super cute and coherent. Great job!

One of my favourites of the jam so far! I'm kind of glad it only took me 10 minutes because I could have lost hours to this haha. Really like the whole thing - art, creature design, game balance, UI is all awesome. And the extra layer of polish really elevates it. Great job!

I did not slay the skull, it was Just too strong for me but great game and great execution visually as well as gameplay wise.
I made a card game as well, but mine is a simple rock paper scissors style game. I would say our creatures are done in similar style, but Your gameplay mechanics are way more advanced! Good Job!

Very cool game, I very enjoyed playing it, the mood and the graphics are great. The only negative I can say is that IMO it's a bit too easy as I managed to slay the skull on my very first attempt.

Very nice game! Love the polish and all the tooltips. Some details really impressed me, like the Shine visually turning into a shield when you kill it. I'd say the game was too easy, but I think it's pretty much impossible to correctly balance a game during a jam.

I like this game, I was happy that the word mana wasn't in it - super easy to understand and great graphics. Well done!

What a great game! The artwork is absolutely incredible and I am completely blown away by the fact that it was programmed in only 3 days! This is definitely my favourite, I love Slay the Spire and this game simply turned out beautifully :)

this card game has very significant potential and which I am sure will be able to make a very great game (12:01)

This was a lot of fun! The game is very well made. The art is appealing and the music/sfx all sound great. Bonus points for nice marketing with the thumbnail and challenging everyone with a time to beat :smile_cat:

Only half evil. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I love this game it's simple and nice. It's a great concept, it just needs a little polish (in the balance of the cards). Good job!

Fun deck-builder! Just the right amount of synergies available to be fun but not overwhelming for a jam game. Good charming graphics and audio as well. The last boss was very hard though...

Very nice and well balanced, the choices of cards were very interesting and the presentation is polished. Well done!
