This is so good! Such a unique take on the theme. The presentation along with the music and sfx puts together a really nice polished game. One of my favs, nicely done!

Very strong entry, lots of fun, very polished for a jam and a really great idea for the theme. Great job!
This game makes me want to play it over and over again. The music adds to the already existing mood.
So freaking good, so well polished and at some point I just left the game on to listen to the music. Congrats!
@drunkardwolf Thanks you very much !
Visual, sound and overall mood is great. Game is pretty simple but very addictive!
Excellent polish, fun gameplay and a very calming soundtrack!
Interesting take on the theme. Game is super polished and just feels good to play. The way the dealer talks to us time to time really adds to the immersion the scene & music creates. Both soothing and challenging gameplay. Congratz :)
I think this is my favorite so far.
The graphic and sounds reminds me old casino games which makes me feel good and comfortable.
The game is challenging and you can play it multiple times with additional value of training your brain.
Really good job!
Wow really strong entry! Super polished. I do really like the game design and the piano track.
Solid entry. Easy to understand. Well done!
This game the BEST entry I have played in Ludum Dare 50 thus far! The attention to detail, the atmosphere, and graphics, everything just comes together to create a completely mesmerizing experience! I can't get enough!
Fabulous entry!
Very good realisation of a simply mechanic. Also the music and the art are great! Good job
Wow! Super polished! Addictive and solid game, the graphics & music with classic mood were really-really good. Congrats!!!
This is a great example of demonstrating how the house has the advantage, and it really tests your memory skills. Definitely one of my favorite games in the jam.
Very very polished game, loving the mood and the music, a little bit testing for my memory haha, really well done! The graphics were really cool, the style of the cards is lovely
Simple mechanic but the game is very polished. I like the card dealing animation and the cards also look beautiful. Noice work.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I'm in love with the mood and the visuals of the game. Too bad I have fish memory. Great job! <3
I love this game! The gameplay is simple but works so well, The audio and visuals are great. It's so polished it's impressing.
Such a great presentation. I love the music and the graphics. The music is such a great fit. Relaxing and just a casino vibe. A simple and easy to understand concept packed in a beautiful and polished game
Nice mood, very polished game. Congratulations!
There's a really good feel to this game. The music, sound effects, and animations all come together to create such a polished experience
I love the sound design it really puts you into the mood! It also fits the theme extremely well. Props to all the hard work done in making a really complete game
This made me realise how terrible my currently covid-infected-brain is right now haha. How is it so hard to remember what I drew 5 seconds ago! Such a great vibe, I love it.
I really love the polished aesthetic of the game; the music, the visuals, the sfx... everything falls in place for the intended mood. Really great work :)
love the idea and music...im so relax now :smile: i like to play memory game, its my cup of tea. good work
Well polished with nice music. Was very relaxing to play. And the card design was great!
That was an incredibly polished experience. Really liked the music/mood, and the gameplay was simple, satisfying and addictive. I can't offer any constructive criticism, because everything was just that cohesive. Awesome work!

@skyward4d Damn your really good ! 41 level remainings ;)
Simple mechanic but super polished and fun! I loved the little touches of humor too. Well done!!
This was great! The whole vibe is so nice, between teh clean graphics, crisp SFX and smooth music. A simple mechanic well implemented. Congrats!
This is a good example of how a simple idea can be made very engaging with great art and polish. Simple idea and superb execution.
The only major feedback I have is that it was sometimes hard to distinguish king and jack from each other. Probably would get easier if I just played for longer.
@nash Thanks for the feedback !
Love the atmosphere and the chill vibes very polished and fun
Simple, efficient and very well crafted, great job.
Simple but really cool, i like the the music and the mood. Perfect for mobile game !
Well done! A really nice concept and mood! music is also great but some sound effects were a bit boomy, dry and a bit too louad, otherwise really goood! thank you!
Absolutely a beautiful, polished, and fun game! I believe this is the first game I've given perfect marks to!
@alks Thank you for the feedbacks ! We recorded audio ourselves and we don't really know how to edit sound fx so it's indeed a bit raw.
I didn't expect this to be as fun as it was, but the polish really sold it. Nice animations and audio. The kind of game you're always looking to challenge yourself to go one better in.
This is great, really easy to understand and well made, and the style is amazing too.
I made it to round 6 :)
Really well polished. I very much liked the chill vibes this creates. Audio and Viusal work very well together here. Good job overall!
One of the best games I've played so far!
The gameplay is fun and easy (and I could probably play this a game irl with someone), and is good for testing your memory. The music's also top-notch, it's super chill, and it fits the atmosphere of the game proper. A few critiques are that there should be more calm music for this game, and have it an option to change tunes, as well as include the suits from the ace to 9 to make it more trickier (unless that's already happened, and I haven't made it that far ahead).
Another solid plus is that the dealer himself is a well-made character. He's a bit witty, not as patient as he looks, and he's good at misdirection, also reminding the player of the theme of this jam in that they're delaying the inevitable ("The House Always Wins", indeed). Usually, I would nitpick at the fact that this game doesn't defy the theme, but the theme suits this game very well (has anyone beaten the house at blackjack?). The look of the game is also another stellar home-run. Everything shown is so clear and soft, no jarring contrasts to take it away.
To sum up, great game, a simple marvel! :thumbsup:
A beautiful, very polished and fun little game that really matches the theme. Well done!
@boaromayox Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed review. It gave me the idea to make a menu to adjust the volume of each instrument as they are separate tracks...
Cool game! I found myself sticking to a theme each round and really strategizing my picks. Good work!
Echoing has been noted out before, this was probably one of the most polished jam games I've seen. The music, the art, the gameplay, it all comes together to make something that is very complete. It was a joy to play through, simple but challenging and after the first few rounds a couple different strategies started coalescing for me.
The take on the theme was so refreshing. I think a lot of games went down a route where the games were endless. This one is 'delaying the inevitable' because the house always wins. 50 levels is insane. The hand-craftedness adds to the difficulty ramp feeling perfect. (Though I got nowhere close to 50)
The only thing I can say needs adding is some quality of life stuff and balancing. Maybe music choices, art-packs to keep it fresh. The dealer could be slightly more interesting in terms of comments.
But these are nitpicks. As a whole, this is a brilliant game. I loved it.
Excellent idea and yet so simple! Classic casino design with some comfy music, very nice! Also liked this small detail, when the dealer gives you some comments or one-liners :D Thank you!
@steve-dragon Thanks for this exhaustive review !
Graphics, audio and general presentation were spot on! Love the mood as well.
Very well polished and an interesting take on the "Memory" card mechanic!
That was great! I found myself developing all these mnemonics for remembering cards, trying to come up with systems for which cards I've already picked, and even then beating 3 rounds was a challenge. Great game. Also I *love* the aesthetics. Visual and auditory for sure.
I found this great in audio, visuals and game, it's rather fun for me and I'd actually play it in my free time just to pass time! good job :D
nice one , I like all things about this game ,the graphic is the best and feels so good ;
Very clean execution and very relaxing memory game ! Everything blends in perfectly for a nice experience overall, GREAT JOB !
Super clean indeed, I dig the graphics and designs. One of the games you can literally play for an hour and not grow tired of. Very well done!
Really clean and nice presentation. Just a finished game honestly, very nice to see, well done!
Brilliant game. Superb style and pace to everything. I especially loved the 'Hints' some of which clearly are not right and some which are! Congrats on a job well done.
Great music, nicely polished visuals.
eventually i stopped clicking cards and just sat back and vibed 10/10 would recommend
That's so cool. Everything is just so perfect! One of the best game i've played here
Very very good game!
The design is so simple, and the only real thing one could say against it is "Wait I am actually sure to lose if the deck contains a finite number of cards", which hits the theme so perfectly.
Great job on the art, the UI design, the rythm, the animations, all the polish in general. The game even ran perfectly on a 21:9 screen in fullscreen mode!
Thanks for the game I had a good time, and great job!
Simple but effective! I like the level of polish your game has, it looks like a complete game and that is great. I've managed to go through the first round not realizing that I can't pick the cards from the whole round, not just the very last one. I guess I've misread "in a round" as "in a row", lol! I thought the game will throw some really confusing distractions on me to make sure I will forget the one card I've just picked. Anyway, the way it actually works is cool and I liked it a lot, great game!
Wow, this really tests your memory. It always baffles me, how some people come up with the most basic but original and new ideas in a game jam. This is so fresh and new, but also seems like I should have seen it already. And the great execution with art and sound just adds to that. Very well. Also, I'm not gonna tell you my highscore, because I am embarrassed, thank you very much.
The way this game presents itself is absolutely amazing. The clean casino style, the cards which are beautiful, the soothing jazz, the voice acting, the quippy lines, everything plays together super nicely. And the game concept itself is so simple yet so fun, I really don't know how to say anything negative here. Amazing job.
Made it to round 9! Cool game reminiscent of simon says, with a twist. Really liked the music and graphics, super smooth!
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my stream!

Man this felt luxurious and professional, what a supremely well polished entry! Great job, I love it.
Playing this game is such a pleasant experience. Loooved the graphics and the music. 10/10. I also personally like these types of games so I was happy to see this entry.
Simple, but really fun. I might have a gambling addiction lol
This game builds a nice casino atmosphere, brilliant job on the grahpics and sound! The mechanics didn't keep me engaged for a long time, though, I guess memory games might not be for me...
Nice game, I like the art and the music/sfxs, very well done.
Clean, crisp and elegant!
Perfect music to set the atmosphere.
This is a very nice jam game!
Visuals are very clean and the game is pretty polished. It's a neat twist on the classic memory game.
I really wish it gave letters for the face cards, as I have a hard time distinguishing between card art for kings and jacks. Restarting on round 1 instead of the round that I failed also makes me not want to give up rather than replaying all of the rounds that I already beat.
I was hella fangirling over the presentation, no joke its SO good. There's a lot of subtle things that make this such a gem, well done!
