Controls

Rules & Info
------------

Build up a stack of punch cards to insert into the card reader machine at the end of the round.

- Place cards from your hand onto the stack of cards.

- A card can only be added to the stack if it has at least 1 matching hole with the card on top of the stack.

- Click the "Fin" card to end the round early.

- Differently coloured cards will have an affect on the "Jammability" of the card stack. If the stack becomes too "jammable" the round will end early.

- When your hand is empty, a new hand of cards will be drawn from the deck automatically.

- Drawing a card from the deck while your hand is not empty will lower your score a little.

Scoring
-------

- If a card placed onto the stack has any holes in the same position as the last card added to the stack, this increases the depth of that hole.

- Rotating a card (Right-click) might give you a better match.

- When a card is placed onto the stack which covers one of the holes in the top card of the stack, this ends the chain and score is earned based on the depth of that now-covered hole.

Wow the style and gameplay is unique, i thought about punched cards when heard old tech too)) Really nice game, and the character in background is really creating a style.

Really great presentation. Love how grimy and dirt everything felt.

I played a few rounds and my highest score was 21. I felt like the game relied on randomness a little too much, but it was still fun for what it was going for. Trying to get all 4 hearts was definitely pretty tense but again, felt like the rng was a little too against me. ( Or maybe it's just a skill issue on my part lol )

None the less, very cool entry

@badpiggy The way "Jammability" is presented was kind of flipped on its head at the last minute so really it should be "Stability" or "Integrity" and is essentially a regular old health bar.

If you lose all 4 hearts the round ends early so should be avoided until you've racked up enough points to win already.

Some presentation changes for us to make post-jam, thanks for playing 😄
