Very cool for a card game!
Says I need libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll when starting on Windows. Maybe you forgot to include a mingw library?
I'm getting the same error as chaosed0. I haven't manually installed any gcc stuff on my computer, and I'm running Windows 7 64 bit.
When I saw you worked with SDL2 I immediately downloaded your game, nice ;) Card games are not really my genre but I played it and was, as expected, quite confused. Partially because the font is a bit nervous, but mostly because apparently the cards can also cost health, which was the case with most of my cards. Needless to say, I died like a kitten in outer space. You had an interesting card game concept in your mind (to a noob like me the mechanics and card powers look interesting) but I had a hard time grasping it. Also the graphics and general flow of the game could've gotten a bit more love imo.
Windows 32bit version should be fixed, I've changed linker flags to make this library statically linked and just to be sure I put the library into archive.
Please report any more errors, I will do my best to solve all critical problems. Thanks :-}
Very nice! Difficult, too!
Great game! A bit of audio wouldn't have been bad, but still :D It's interesting that I won just barely, since most of the powerfull cards take down you own health too. Anyway, thanks for the game :)
Won't run on Ubuntu 14.04... :(

Would it be possible to just link everything statically? It vastly increases the odds of people being able to run your game.
Well, I think you have 64bit system and there wasn't proper support fot it before. I've updated the archive, now you should be able to run my game.
About static linking - I don't think it's good idea, it's much better to rely on system libraries.
Couldn't play: windows and source links:
Not Found
Error 404
I can't download the game at the moment (docs.google.com is throwing 500 Internal Server Errors) but if I can download the source I might try compiling it on Mac OS X for you.
I've tested the download links and everything seemes to work ok. Was probably issue on Google's side. Sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. :/
If this is going to continue, I will think of moving the files elssewhere.
good work(ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
Interesting concept. Good game
It would be a little easier to understand if the symbol for hp, science and energy were next to the name. So you can connect the cards requirements and the players stats visually. Good card balance for a Jam game!
good to see a card game out of many others..
Wow, I've thought about making a card game for Ludum Dare before but always thought it'd be infeasible - I'm really impressed you managed it! I like the flow of play, it seems quite well balanced and came down pretty close (although I still won on my first attempt).
I like the resource types but found it a little hard to intuit what needed to be spent on what -- it would be easier if you had perhaps colour-coded the numbers, eg green for science and blue for energy, matching the icons.
Also, when I and the CPU were both at about HP 9, I first noticed it seemed to stay there, even though I played gunshot cards.
I guessed that generators or scientists gave some kind of shielding effect, but didn't know what was going on.
You can guess, then, I didn't read the whole instructions page. It's a high-contrast barrage of text in a bold, headline sans-serif font -- it *hurts* to look at, and would be easily fixed just with a less heavy font, and some less contrasty colours.
Overall the game is OK to play, but I felt would be nicer if it had some more visual cues showing what is happening, for example when it locks out for some time period, you can't click to continue; you have to wait. You can't see your own cards when the opponent plays one, and the card effects aren't 'obvious' if you're not closely remembering what all the numbers were.
Still, even saying these things, I'm really pleased to see a card game on here, and I've enjoyed playing it through several times now.
Interesting. The computer opponent is pretty tough. Good game!
The cards being played stayed up for a bit too long, but other than that it was actually a really well executed card game. The only thing it was really missing were a bit of polish and some visual flair. Great game.
