Clever Idea, I really like the concept of a card game where the goal is to cheat! Nicely Done! Great Integration with the theme!

golin 2022-10-04 10:36

I like this game. It's really fun to play!

matt-ravenhall 2022-10-04 10:43

Cool idea this, and nicely put together.

mrmaico 2022-10-04 10:43

Fun to play. This could really well work on a multiplayer. Imagine if you need to be fast so your "friend" can't spy on you. Cool simple art style with a catchy tune. Well done.

kromeboy 2022-10-04 10:43

I didn't quite get how the "busted" mechanic works...

jeremia 2022-10-04 10:44

Once you are aware of all the ways you can cheat it is really cool.

vetche-studio 2022-10-04 11:29

@kromeboy The most noticeable way you can cheat will give the most suspicion. Also, the more you cheat the same way, the more suspicious the other players get!

vetche-studio 2022-10-04 11:35

@jeremia @mrmaico @matt-ravenhall @goblin @ideaspersecond

Thanks for the nice comments guys! Means a lot :D

And yes @mrmaico, we thought of the exact same thing to make it multiplayer. Maybe we will expand on it one day ;)

Got hit with a +6 first run T_T, This game was really awesome adding a nice touch to an otherwise simple card game

cheville 2022-10-04 15:34

Great game, loved trying to figure out the achievements. I couldn't quite get Wingman but it was still great game, probably my highest rated thus far. I must admit though, the introduction left me confused, I was wondering when they were going to blink.

clement-dupont 2022-10-04 19:51

an original concept, very fun to play and the simple art style fit well, well done

muzakefron 2022-10-05 02:08

this is so sick i love it!!!!

pauly3d 2022-10-05 02:16

I had a great time! I love all the different ways to cheat - a neat way to take elevate a very simple game. Well done

sodium 2022-10-05 02:21

great idea! Lots of fun

confusedsoph 2022-10-05 02:28

I love it so much. Please post a list of achievements I wanna know what I missed. image_2022-10-04_212837857.png

isaac-hisey 2022-10-05 03:04

Overall: I think... mine broke? Even when cheating I couldn't place card and then on my turn I would place a card with the same picture it would go back to my hand and force me to draw? Other than that strangeness (maybe I misunderstood something?) it was a cool idea.

Fun: Whenever I started to get a bit ahead or understood more the game would stop allowing me to play the game in the way it described and would not allow me to cheat during slow motion.

Innovation: Super cool idea and I think very innovative!

Theme: every 10 seconds I can cheat :ballot_box_with_check:

Graphics: Cool pixel art style

Audio: Enjoyed the SFX and music Humor: Uno but not Uno

Mood: Confused, betrayed, intrigued, acceptance.

saikai 2022-10-05 09:22

Really nice feeling game and nice concept. Liked the sound design and music.

vetche-studio 2022-10-05 09:25

@isaac-hisey

Sorry to hear that the game didn’t work for you, that is definitely a bug, but one we haven’t encountered yet. By any chance where you using a touchscreen, as we do know that the game doesn’t play properly with touchscreens.

vetche-studio 2022-10-05 09:30

@confusedsoph

We are very happy that you liked our game so much.

But sorry, as the Ludum Dare page doesn’t support spoiler tags we don’t want to post the achievement list now as that will spoil it for others, otherwise we would have gladly shared it.

enad96 2022-10-05 12:06

This is such a great idea for the theme!

tatawanda 2022-10-05 12:50

Nice game, I like the idea and the different way to cheat are cool (even if I find the drawer overpowered since it does not seems to attract attention). There seems to be some achievement but I got none, dunno if I suck or if they are broken. Solid entry overall

greenphox 2022-10-05 14:17

wow, that's a really nice game! I loved the many different ways that I could cheat, it was very creative and enjoyable. There was also much strategy and it was the right amount of challenging and enjoyable at the same time. Well done! I also loved how mixed a turn based card game with a real time mechanic, it was really unique. Kudos!

maxkyckling 2022-10-05 15:32

Really cool game! I really liked the art, and the sound worked well. Had to replay a couple of times but that was fine. Well done :)

aristurtle 2022-10-07 01:37

This was pretty fun to play. I liked that you chose to use a familiar card game instead of me having to also learn an entire new card game to play this. The different facial expressions on the other players was great.

I liked that there were various ways to cheat other than just getting rid of cards on the stack or drawing extras. And the paper in the corner acting as a sort of achievement list and hint as to various ways to cheat was a good touch.

One thing I would have liked would have to been able to play the cards by just clicking them instead of having to drag them out.

landosystems 2022-10-07 02:06

Very clever game, was confused at first because they kept rocking me with +2s but then the secrets of cheating were revealed to me and I was able to confound my enemies into submission. Really enjoyed it, great work!

chartle 2022-10-08 06:21

Fun stuff! Loved the little jam in the background and having to cheat to win is a great addition. I felt the time in slowdown could be a little big longer, but other than that an all around great jam game!

pincushion 2022-10-08 18:17

Great idea. So many ways to cheat, though it took me a while to notice them. I love how you can see the moods of the other players on their faces. The list of achievements is cool too.

tetrapteryx 2022-10-08 19:07

I wish the cheat time were a bit longer, I am way too slow to do anything with it other than dump all my cards in the drawer :sweat_smile: The variety of cheating options is great, though!

jhandsy 2022-10-08 20:55

That's really silly. The crayons are ridiculous and I love it.

greenradiation 2022-10-10 09:06

Wow, the game is just amazing. Great concept, very addictive gameplay. Win the game without cheating :D Great job and well deserved 5 stars

animawish 2022-10-10 09:21

Really funny game, very well executed. Love their facial expressions and all the different ways to cheat. Great job!

enderswype 2022-10-10 15:20

Wow, this is such a nice game !! really cool mechanics and the first game wherer you get introduced to your powers is a very good tutorial, gg!!

vetche-studio 2022-10-11 10:39

@enad96 @tatawanda @greenphox @maxkyckling @aristurtle @landosystems @chartle @pincushion @tetrapteryx @jhandsy @greenradiation @animawish @enderswype

Thank you guys so much for your kind words! It means a lot to us!

We see that a few of you suggested to make the cheating time longer. Thanks for telling us! We appreciate the constructive feedback. Will definitely tune it in a coming update :D

borjan1peovski 2022-10-16 19:07

Possibly the best submission I've played so far, nice take on the theme and really cool sounds.

paul-nadan 2022-10-17 23:53

This was really fun! There was a great variety of cheating options to discover (and the list was neat/helpful), although maybe a penalty for using the same one too often would be a good way to make players mix it up. The music was also really groovy, and the facial expressions were a nice touch. Great work!

vetche-studio 2022-10-18 15:34

@borjan1peovski Thank you for your feedback :D

@paul-nadan Thanks for the feedback! Currently we amplify suspicion for each cheat done, but having a separate penalty for doing the same cheat multiple times is a great idea we'll consider :D

darzu 2022-10-20 04:06

Wow, top tier game! I played that longer than any other LD51 game. Took me a while to figure out my strategies. Excellent mechanics. Well balanced.

macaroni-dev 2022-10-21 02:15

This was such a good idea. I'm excited to come back to it and play more!

2022-10-23 06:56

This is another good example of the fact that gambling is the perfect tool to have a good time.. Also, I would like to remember those who prefer sports - https://1xbet.co.ke/ Such people do not need any substitute for their hobby at all.. There are a huge number of sports for every taste.. It never gets boring.
