What a nice "RMS" game this is - good job! :) Too bad there is no music and only very few SFX :P

Anyway, windows build works just fine! :D

eingya 2015-12-15 23:09

That's brilliant! Not sure how it fits in the theme, but it is a really cool concept!

Well done!

dj_pale 2015-12-15 23:10

Very nice graphics and animations - feels very polished. A little bit to grasp the game without reading instructions.

donar 2015-12-15 23:15

Nice, a Rock, Paper, Scissors Deckbuilding Game. I like that quite a lot. I don't know about the theme ... "Grow your deck" sounds like you tried to put the word "grow" somewhere. Anyway, it's a nice game, so you get a good rating from me - a little bit less for the "Theme" category ;)

zeriver 2015-12-15 23:15

Neat game, nice variation of classic RPS game. I liked visual effects, look really similar to Heartstone's. Shame there is no music, it could add to the mood. Good job

redbricksstudio 2015-12-15 23:22

A nice twist in deckbuilding games, and incredibly polished for a Jam game! A tutorial would be nice, but I guess that's really time-consuming to implement.
Too bad it has no music.

Really good entry though :)

Great game! Very complete!

retraffic 2015-12-15 23:27

I love it! Super juicy card game and I like the buying mechanic.
Only at some point the game stopped having scissors... Only Rock and Paper, round after round, which made it a bit dull. Probably a bug?

chriiis88 2015-12-15 23:31

Absolutely brilliant. Best game I've played of the jam and compo by far. Well done.

stevesalmond 2015-12-15 23:48

Awesome job - super polished with the visuals and animations. Really enjoyed the gameplay too!

rico-albe 2015-12-15 23:48

Nice game, seems quite polished for a jam game. A little tutorial explaining how the cards fight and that kind of stuff would have been welcome, but you get the grasp of the game soon enough. Good job!

leaghorn 2015-12-15 23:59

Awesome animations and flow. It plays super smooth. Very nice.

thembi 2015-12-16 00:15

High marks from me. Woo!

ohmaigawd 2015-12-16 00:20

Great graphics :D nice job

peekotus 2015-12-16 00:35

So good!

kaotiklabs 2015-12-16 01:01

Oh what a little piece of art, I love it.

mramlice 2015-12-16 01:15

Outstanding quality of work! I'm also a tad confused how it fits in with the jam theme. The graphics are amazing, the animations are so fluid, wish there was soundtrack, but none the less, great job!

fistmaker 2015-12-16 01:31

This has an amazing amount of polish on it! It's a fun game and it plays very well! I won the match I played. No bugs or anything! I just don't see how it fits the theme at all. It's a great game otherwise.

radmccool 2015-12-16 01:51

That was really fun. Had some really good rounds that felt rewarding for learning the combat system. Didnt read the instructions and it only took one round to figure it out so that must say something for the presentation.

gwakamolestudio 2015-12-16 01:54

Really hard exercise to do a card game in 72h, but u did it great :D
The continues building mechanic feat perfectly with this game, Great job !

ruka 2015-12-16 03:30

Awesome graphics and animations. Well done!

rocketship 2015-12-16 09:22

Great to see another card game here, very interesting take on it too! The level of polish on the animations and effects was great, the graphics were clear and the cards were easy to read. I was a bit confused about some aspects of how the turn progressed in the beginning but it became clear as the game went on. Good, polished work, well done!

timeshapers 2015-12-16 10:38

I also made a deck building game. Yours is beautiful and well done. Congrats.

hadesfury 2015-12-16 11:46

Nice game, simple mechanics. Loved the graphics but I feel it strays a little too far from the theme. Good job, though !

ss64games 2015-12-16 14:32

Very impressive little card game. It's hard to make a great strategy game in such a short period but this delivered pretty well. I often felt a little too at the mercy of luck (much like rock paper scissors) which isn't a great feeling for a game of strategy, but overall it was a pretty impressive take on deck building. UI work and graphics are very polished. Theme is not particularly well represented, but I'm glad you made this particular game regardless! Nice work!

martincohen 2015-12-16 17:58

Not a big card game fan, but I enjoyed the graphics, ideas and the animations too much.

nooner-bear 2015-12-16 20:36

I personally love strategy card games, and this is a neat take on RPS. From a game design view, that in itself is unique. I love the style for this. Gameplay is satisfying and fun. Excellent job all around!

christinaneofotistou 2015-12-16 22:57

So lovely! I enjoyed the Hearthstone vibe, but it's also very enjoyable on its own. Great take on the genre peeps <3

mrshoestore 2015-12-16 23:47

Very well polished. I didn't read the instructions, but I had difficulty coming up with a strategy... or I just had a bad deck!

younghorses 2015-12-18 16:31

I love this take on deck-building games and Rock Paper Scissors, and it was especially smooth and accessible.

I admit at some point late in the game it became hard for me to know what would happen when all of my special abilities went off. When I play paper is scissors and scissors are rocks, and my opponent plays rocks are paper, the results end up feeling random. But, I think that's a matter of how often transmutation cards end up being drawn, and it would feel less chaotic if I just had less of them.

pusty 2015-12-18 20:37

wow this was real fun! I played it for half a hour :D

jacklehamster 2015-12-18 21:29

This game is really well polished! Also interesting gameplay.

ssodelta 2015-12-18 23:31

Good job ! :D

jsmars 2015-12-18 23:32

Very impressive! Surprisingly fun even tho I'm not too fond of card games, and art and UI animations were fantastic!

jackyjjc 2015-12-19 07:03

Amazing graphics and animation. Really well polish game. It is an interesting twist on rock paper scissors, well done! The rule was a bit confusing at first but after a few games I started to get the hang of it.

dejvo 2015-12-19 09:50

really well executed and a very good idea for a game. nice job

de_von 2015-12-19 12:13

Loved the feeling of the card game! Almost as if it was Hearthstone. Wish I could do something like this in the future =)

leaden 2015-12-19 20:10

Excellent execution! You done finished game. It was pretty fun to play.

tapehead 2015-12-19 20:25

this is a really cool! i had a lot of fun with it. i could be a cool real card game .. only one thing, how fits the theme here?

lereveur 2015-12-20 05:18

Good inovative and simple card game with a so old good game. Nice and polished drawings, too. Well done. :)

tselmek 2015-12-20 12:10

This game is damn polished, I just wish there was more sound effects and maybe some music. The idea is really cool.

xgor 2015-12-20 12:58

Suck a great spin on rock paper scissors with quite some depth to it. Would be great if there was a two player mode as the game really lends it to it.

ewchap 2015-12-21 02:44

amazing polish for a jam game. Beautiful ui artwork and animations

mike-cullingham 2015-12-21 04:59

Not terribly thematic, but interesting spin on Rock Paper Scissors. Nice job.

inbetweengames 2015-12-21 07:09

Really great deck-building (deck-growing?) game. Using such a well-known concept as the basis for something with a lot of complexity is a great achievement.

guyunger 2015-12-21 10:15

This is an amazing entry Jan,
When I saw it on a gif before, I expected a pretty dull rock paper scissor game made fancy with cool graphics and animations. But it's not just only pretty, it's super strategic and really fun to play.
Great work!

sir-magic 2015-12-21 11:02

Interesting take on rock paper scissors but I can#t see how it fits to the theme.

piper82 2015-12-21 14:34

good looking, good polish, very enjoyable.

spotco 2015-12-22 00:47

Cool concept with an incredible amount of polish (can see you were really inspired by hearthstone's UI...), currently does seems a little too luck-based (since you have no idea what the other person will play).

lurils 2015-12-22 01:55

nice concept and very well executed

wevel 2015-12-22 13:19

Nice game, interesting mechanics but very polished

kaiseangames 2015-12-22 13:37

Wow. Simply wow! Well done. Very nice concept and nicely implemented. Graphics are superb. I love the graphics style.

stanov 2015-12-22 20:36

Masterpiece in graphics, animations and sounds. The rules are bit chaotic and unclear. The HP number could be labeled better as well. But still 5* for Overall. What else should get it if not this one :)

Cheers from Brno! :)

wdebowicz 2015-12-22 23:21

The idea of makings card game(which are mostly complex) and simplify to Rocks,maps,scissors is simply great. Also game is very polished. I played it two times and have a lot of fun. Maybe some better AI would be nice.

graebor 2015-12-24 03:56

Great job on visual polish.

klianc09 2015-12-25 20:46

This has incredibly strategic depth, I especially liked the switch position special effect. With faster gameplay (skipping of unnecessary animations) and some better deck customization(those cards cost a lot of coins) or challenge modes I could see myself playing this outside of LudumDare ... for fun!

akhera 2016-01-03 21:53

Very polished for a LD game, especially the animations. However, I feel like the gameplay is lacking. Most importantly luck plays too much of a role. Also, the cards are not very well differentiated, which means I can't remember what's in my deck and can't make an informed decision about what to buy next.

georgebroussard 2016-01-04 17:24

Great entry with lots of polish and presentation. Played a couple of games to completion and enjoyed myself. No negative points at all because 72 hours and based on RPS.

2016-01-05 11:09

I love it , great game !!
