Great idea, very funny and entertaining. I LOLed at the first "Fus ro dah" xD The web version does not register the button clicks, I had to download the standalone. You might want to take a look.

Really polished and fun :D Loved the sounds.

lpeter1997 2014-08-25 08:53

It's a different approach. Absolutely fun! And the sounds are hillarious.

Love the creative interpretation of the theme.
Humorous and cute gameplay and sound.
Clever spin on Memory - you're not just remembering the cards, you're remembering the interactions between different types of card too.
I can't really find any fault in it. Nothing huge and ambitious, just a well-produced, neat spin on a classic.
My only objection is that I seemed to lose every round due to a Dragon card spawning at the last moment...?

@hungyg : hmm web works fine I think, you might just have lost the focus on the Unity window, does that sometimes ! Reloading does the trick I guess :)

njord 2014-08-25 09:05

@wolfmother : probably really bad luck on last round dragon spawns ! Or you just didn't get rid of the annoying cards early enough ;)

gwa 2014-08-25 09:06

Cool and fun game special the sounds :)

emak 2014-08-25 10:10

HAHAHA love the sound, remind me naeulbuck!

2014-08-25 10:49

Funny game :)
Sounds are ... lol ^^

hoyt-hoy 2014-08-25 13:12

Very Funny!
I love try different possibilities, and the voice is a really great narrator.
Good game :D

billtowin 2014-08-25 13:12

Great voice. Got me to laugh out loud which blows my mind. Interesting twist on the classic Concentration/Memory card game. I'm impressed, I'll be looking at your code later on to learn from it. A+

lafleur 2014-08-25 13:15

You and I have different definitions of the word "easy!" Challenging but fun!!

ittlebit 2014-08-25 14:57

The sounds really made this experience fun. Assassin!

gambitsunob 2014-08-25 15:10

haha I love the audio. Epic Dragon Quest!
That must have taken a while to connect all of possibilities together. Really neat concept.

hypp 2014-08-25 17:16

Very good. Nice sound effects!

boaheck_artgent 2014-08-26 11:17

This is a very interesting game cant say much for the take on the theme though. I enjoyed the stories that I made out of this.

monsterkillu 2014-08-26 12:33

Fantastic sound effects .. hilarious ... But just confused about what goes with what :)

pinkninja 2014-08-26 12:39

Fun to play. Very original indeed :) I was just playing over and over again to try new things :) Congrats

vururia 2014-08-26 21:25

I got a lot of fun playtime with this game! It's my fav so far, epic work, well done! 16/10 :D

chongdashu 2014-08-26 21:26

This was good fun! Made me laugh. The audio is hilarious!

naytron 2014-08-26 21:28

Amazing sounds! Really fun trying to trigger all of the different connections. Great job!

vulpineblazeyt 2014-08-26 21:29

Really funny! I loved the voices and the sound effects! I'd love to see more tiles/interactions! But yeah, this is a really polished and complete game!

awesomeusername 2014-08-26 21:30

Fun and funny!

thingostudios 2014-08-26 21:30

A cute way to get around your nonexistent graphic skills, I guess. It's very, very funny. My only problem is that I wish there was an in-game way to understand what did what-- I thought Sword + Assassin would kill the Assassin, but it stole the sword and ran off...?

nicepenguins 2014-08-26 21:31

A cute and fun game :) nice job

njord 2014-08-26 21:35

@Thingo Studios : you got me, i can't draw ! :p And about combinations, some are easy to guess (like town+earthquake), some are meant to be surprising just to be annoying I guess ;). I considered adding a sort of ingame encyclopedia though, so you'd have a way to remember the combos you already did. Time decided against it in the end.

danman9914 2014-08-26 21:35

A fun tile based create your own adventure. Fresh take on the classic matching games

ellipticaldoor 2014-08-28 12:25

hahahah

ellipticaldoor 2014-08-28 12:25

I love the sound effects.

waynaul 2014-08-28 12:33

This is the most humorous game I've played so far. I enjoyed seeing the result of combinations of words.

javadocmd 2014-08-28 18:58

I am so in love with this idea: the dynamic story-telling aspect is just perfect. Simple but so fun. And the voice-over really brought a lot of life to what would otherwise have been a too-text-heavy game. Excellent writing.

I wish there were more ways to reveal cards, since fairly often I found myself without any real choices to make.

alvivar 2014-08-28 20:31

Lovely idea, telling some kind of history while puzzling around.

garethjenkins 2014-08-30 13:43

First time I've rated an LD game 5 for humor ;)

mramaizng 2014-09-03 09:03

This is a really fun idea. I'm not really sure how well it fits the theme, but it was fun none the less. I played for much longer than I care to admit as it was very entertaining to see all the combinations.

Everything seems to work well. I didnt find any annoying quirks. Great job!

banana4life 2014-09-03 09:09

really cool game and i like the sounds :)

cstudios 2014-09-06 08:49

It has a simple humor, but the game is realy enjoyable. I could not slay the dragon unfortunately, but the sound effect were awesome! Also: you missred the title of the theme? :D

dhargan 2014-09-09 11:49

all cards have been vanished except king and queen. then nothing happened. except... you know. magnificant idea. really good job mate!

natrium729 2014-09-12 02:42

Really a fun game. The sounds were hilarious, and the combinations suprising. I would have never thought that I would enjoy this kind of game! Very innovative an fun! Good job!

soulgame 2014-09-14 18:14

Friends of yours told me about your game, I was eager to try it but unfortunately I have troubles installing Unity web player... I'm currently troubleshooting this issue with Unity support team. Looking forwards to play it!

njord 2014-09-14 18:20

Yeah the plugin can be annoying sometimes. I guess you should just download the Windows version. And I tested your game too, was pretty awesome !! ;)
