The best: I didn't expect a game like that, and I say that as the best thing hahaha
The worst: That was SO MUCH text (dialog) at the begining, it almost made me quit before actually playing, glad I didn't though.

I don't know why, but I expected a warning before getting shot, literally made me jump. I liked the story and that you had to play to lose, certainly a new way to play a game! The game itself was a little confusing though (perhaps the point) but it's hard to work strategy when you're not entirely sure what the enemy has as sometimes the cards are obstructed by other HUD elements or sometimes each other.
Good polish and an interesting experience, would get shot again, good job! :grinning:
A lot of text only to get executed after the first turn.
I like the idea of forcefully loosing a card game however, it felt that the cards were a little too unbalance to make it a real challenge.
Dat ending tho
Very fun! It's nice to see something with an original story like this! Good job
I got scared shitless the first time I got shot, did not expect that at all :D .
Absolutely amazing!
The best game I played so far.
I didn't really know what I was doing, but the metagame/dialogue was really funny.
Sometimes at the end of a game the other party would just not play a single card for like 5 turns. Don't know if that is intended behaviour.
The shot made me jump on my chair ! Very fun, I loved the storytelling. Congrats !
Really cool, great twist! I agree with Evan about the challenge thoug.
Here's my feedbacks: from the start its really handy you can download an unzipped .exe, straightforward, nice the cover picture at the top of this page is super pro-looking, congratulate the graphist for me if you can :D antivirus was a pain but that wasn't a blocking issue soon as the game actually starts, the wall of text is a bit steep IMO I read a total of 0 text for the whole game ^^# a lot of skip it may be a good thing - then I can rediscover the game later on because it turned out to be good <3 But in general yeah there is way too much text
then the actual actual gameplay at the start it's a bit overwhelming then punishing then forgiving then I won level one thinking the way to win is just use all your points fully all the time then lost level 2 with this strategy in the end
and then there was that dictator from north korea that made me lol
1st Ludum Dare 40 game I play so far and I really liked it Congrats! I hope you get a good grade
Take care have a good night of sleep take care :-3
I don't mind so much text, when it's helps like here to understand how to play and make the mood. However, it would be better to let the player pass the long long text when he read it at least once… And when opponent cards are on to play, it's not possible to see their effetcs and values, that is a problem to play wise… That said, it was the only annoying things in that game, I enjoyed playing it anyway, so good job :)
This game felt like it was inspired by a fever dream. I choose to believe that every decision here was made deliberately, from the writing (i liked it!) to the music (sounds randomly sequenced).
Great job!
That was novels worth of text. Hilarious but maybe slightly too long.
SPOILERS:
. . . . . .
Shot for assuming that I, an imperialist pigdog, could assume to win Best Korean card game. 10/10 would be executed again.
Oh man, we considered a card game for a while because, and I quote, "I've never seen someone do a card game in LD before".
Well, we didn't. But now I have!
My only complaint is that the intro is super long and unskippable (at least I didn't see a way to skip it).
Thanks all for the feedback, I think we've learnt a very important lesson about intro length XD Glad to see you guys like it! <3
Thank you for all reading this novel disguised as a video game
I enjoyed the art and the text system was cool. a bit too much dialogue but I had a decent time
As the man behind the wall of dialogue, I thank you all for your honest feedback and criticism. Next game, I swear I won't just write a novel 😉.
This is incredible. I didn't think that the dialogue was too long, and it made me smile all the way through.
This is the funniest game in the jam so far and it was a blast just reading through the idiotic dialogue and how you will always lose anyways.
Cool Dialogue System and a reeally juice Drag and drop syste.
Some minor flaws: Is there any way to skip the dialogues? The default window size was a bit too small ( had to resize it to see all of the stats of the cards). The AI didn’t do anything for like 5 rounds
Thanks guys for feedback!!!
Great game! Saw it on discord!
Check out my game if you would like! https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/virus-detected
Hey! I enjoyed that a lot!! Really clever and interesting take on this ludum dare. suprisingly difficult to lose! Is it possible to lose "too quickly" and get shot that way? Loved the atmosphere/situation we were put in. Could definitely use a "skip" button for the second time playing.
Thanks for the feedback! There was actually a bug at one point where if you won too quickly it wouldn't register at all so you'd just be stuck playing Jangnanmon forever; fortunately that was patched out a few hours before submission.
Too much text. But good game
Very cool game and a nice take on the "Collectible Card Game" genre. I liked that you created a brand new card game to play that requires you to lose. The only complaint on my part is the walls of text throughout the game. It's kind of hard to follow when there was so much.
Great job!!
This was a really creative idea. Loved the witty humor. I played it a few times more since the stream last night, and wish there was an option to skip the text if you've already seen it. There is a ton of dialog in the game, which isn't always a bad thing, given the humor behind it, but being able to skip it would go a long way.
I love the different art for the cards.
One thing I mentioned on stream that I want to mention here as well is that on some turns the AI wouldn't do anything. Wasn't sure at first if that was intentional, or something else. It happened a couple of times though, one for a few turns, and another for only one turn.
Hey I played your game in my latest video and strained my voice too much. And I am not sure I fully understand how to play the game ;) https://youtu.be/BgkQxnrr8sU
Nice story! I included it in my Ludum Dare 40 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVo2wMAhnxM
