Nice card game :) But could you please explain the connection to the theme?
The theme is in the art and story. It's about giant monsters battling so it's small world from the perspective of monsters.
Cool game! Took me a few tries to understand that I had to wait and time my attack and defend. Style looks really solid, sounds work well, controls are nice and easy. Sometimes I can't seem to add certain monsters to my hand, I'm not sure why. Other than that, really solid entry!
Really great looking game with some nice music too. Initial monster screen felt a little overwhelming, not clear what to do. Managed to figure out and win with my last monster.
Obviously the art is a great strength for this entry. The font choice, background, card design, etc were all very well done. I also liked the timing mechanic for the battles, which is fairly new for card games as far as I know. I think the area that was lacking for me was the core design, which seemed pretty shallow. I think that's more a product of 48 hours than it is any lack on your part, though. I think I would lower most of the numbers to single digits, just for clarity. Right now it's a little hard to wrap my head around the state of the cards because the numbers are too big. Last thought--I really enjoyed being able to buy and open packs. Made me smile. Great work on this!
Great sound effects! I like the fact that the battling system is tied to my reaction speed, so not only do I need to push the button fast but I also had to anticipate whether or not it was going to come from above or below. Fantastic work, hope to see this in the app store soon! :)
A fun simple card game with beautiful graphics. Sounds were good as well, apart from the initial screen where the letters appeared... created a loud repetitive noise that should be replaced with something a lot more subtle.
Game play was a little confusing at first, but once I got the hang of it was quite fun.
Great card game. The gameplay is not explained but it is very easy to understand. I miss a button to deselect the cards in the card selection/setup screen. I enjoyed it. Nice job
I love card games so you get free bonus points. I hoped there would be a little bit more strategy, as there usually is in card games, rather than quick-time event but the execution is pretty good and graphics are very polished. With a little bit more love this could be fun little game.
I love card games! I love the take on the theme too. The art for the cards is really cute and the sounds help with the immersion factor. The fight mechanics are original and interesting and the card animations were cute.
There was no button on the deck building part to remove a card once you selected it. Which was a little frustrating but other then that it was a cool game to play and rate! Good Job for 48 hours!
I really enjoyed this. The art is really nice, and the sound is good, although all the card sounds are only in my left ear which is really annoying. The biggest issue with the gameplay is that it seems like no matter when I click for defend, it seems random if I get hit or not. The attacking seemed to work perfectly though. It did take a while to figure out what I was supposed to be doing, and having my card be the one on the right was a little weird. That said, I really like the concept. it's fun and I like the take on the card battle being based on reaction time.
Nice game, really love the art. There seems to be an issue for me where the audio for card noises only came out through the left ear. Also took me a while to understand how the fight mechanics work, other than that, great game! :ok_hand:
I like card games!!! Love it!
Procedurally generated collectible cards! Awesome satire :D
And the execution is really good. The only thing: I would have loved a little more in-depth mechanics for the card game itself, like having to strategically choose what monster to put on the table.
The game looks so good, I really love the artstyle. Opening card packs is awesome! The fighting mechanics could be a bit more complex but it is fun anyways.
