It looks very fun. The graphics is good. I like this shaking finger very much)) It is so good. The menu play button also very interactible and innovative ;). Moreover, if you want, please rate my game.

It looks really fun. Multiplayer is probably better.

Fantastic animation! Smooth and cool gameplay. Took me 10 restarts to beat the AI and even then only with patience and by two points. Superb all-around. Thanks!

Cool concept, really liked it :D, love the cartoony way the hands move, although i wish i could aim so that i could shoot diagonally

rodrigo-denubila 2018-04-24 03:35

I really loved this game. It's a simple concept but it's pretty fun thought. The art and animation are good too

Please, take a look at my game too: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/confessional

It was a little annoying that I had to go into the settings of my controller manager and change some stuff for it to stop detecting my controller. Would've been nice to just be able to choose between 2P and AI.

Aside from that, fun game! Great simple concept and the hand animation is silly but fitting. The music is nice, and the sound effects fit well. The AI is a little weird sometimes, but generally works well.

fun little game!

This was a wonderful experience - It's rare to find functional local multiplayer games! Interesting animation and fun audio. Well done!

This is very cool, I haven't seen a game like this before so thumbs up for innovation. Only major critique would be that sometimes the AI would move too far off the screen so sometimes I couldn't hit em. Overall its a neat game!

Very good, simple to the point, fits the theme nicely, good job. Not sure id call it a an rts, but whatever, havent seen this kind of game before so you get full marks. Ai, seems really good though. or maybe I'm just bad. (right after this i tried some more to be sure and did much better... does the Ai scale?) either Nice work.

This game is awesome 5/5 !

This is among my favorite jam games ever (all jams included) - that I played at least. I wish I can come up with a concept like this for a jam one day, so simple yet so good ! That's the spirit of jam games imo.

Add a few more cards, maybe a few game modes and up to 4 player and I'm buyin' it on steam. Hell I get my friends to buy it too ! I'm not joking if you feel like it and put some more work on it this could really be shipped and have a decent amount of success.

(As for the optimization issue it seems to happen sometime during card movement)

Awesome game. i've been laughing for a while and can't wait to play with friends.

The artstyle and general tone are pretty fun, and I liked the gameplay. Making the cards act as both your weapon and your health points was a good move. I only have some minor complaints; I had some issues with lag, the AI tended to hide off-screen, and I think it'd work better with a longer play field so that everything isn't so point-blank. Other than that, I think this is really good.

thy-duck 2018-04-24 19:53

This is actually really cool. Love the fluid art style and the concept! The AI seems to cheat by retreating behind the screen, and the game is a bit laggy, but other than that this is a really promising game!

bongard22 2018-04-24 19:59

Cool concept and pretty fun, hard to understand though.

velocity7 2018-04-24 20:03

I liked it. Really Juicy

michael-clavell 2018-04-24 20:16

Artstyle is great. Like everyone else is saying, the AI seems unfair. It also took a bit to figure out what the circle cards did.

gavin-camlin 2018-04-25 21:02

Finally got around to playing it! I really enjoyed it but I think there are some weird balancing issues. Since my health is technically how many cards I have left in my deck it incentives me not to use it. I found that I did better when I instead didn't do anything. I like the concept I just think there should be a little redesign. Still super cool tho!

Thanks @FireHawk if you're ever trying to make things smoother x+=(targetx-x)*(a small decimal) in an update event does wonders, or if you're trying to make springy things this guy has a nice little article https://gafferongames.com/post/spring_physics/ and this guy has some neat implementations https://ghoscher.com/2013/03/02/simple-spring-physics/ Unity also has some physics stuff but it's fun learning how it all works so you can tweak the values to your needs. Thanks @Zimmer ;D I'm sure it probably is better though I've only had the chance to test it like twice with someone else. Thanks @joemid had loads of fun programming all the movement and figuring out where to draw all the circles and rectangles until it actually looked like a hand xD The ai can either be really hard when you don't understand it but once you figure it out it's pretty unbalanced as @Gavin-Camlin pointed out (thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it, I'm trying to find some time to play through everyones between studying for finals x..x). @Q-ro diagnal aiming sounds interesting but it would stop the player from moving as much which I was trying to focus on. Really glad you liked it ;D @Rodrigo DenĂºbila I'll take a look as soon as I can! It's cause all the animation I did was with math and points! ;D so happy everyone's enjoying it! I'll try and find some ways to make the gameplay a bit more balanced

Loved seeing the images in the discord! I love how unique this game is.

paulhocker 2018-04-28 01:51

this was kind of a fun game even if it looked wierd - really nice use of the theme and impressed on how polished it looks - great work

sean-s-leblanc 2018-04-28 20:24

Love the springy art style of this!

I agree with most of the criticism of the AI others have posted (starts off feeling very hard and feels too easy once you learn the mechanics). It doesn't do a great job of making the game fun, but good AI's also super tough; it's impressive for LD even if it is a bit unbalanced!

I also found that the shield card wasn't obvious. I had to refer to the written description to figure out what it was supposed to be; maybe something more straightforward like a literal shield for the graphic would be clearer?

Overall, this is great entry. I think with a few more card types, this could be really interesting!

tim-ruswick 2018-05-05 02:19

I love the art! I love the movement effects, music is good, and the gameplay is interesting.
