I can't dl the game :/

wolkp 2023-01-09 23:23

It should work now :) I've tried uploading the WebGL version of the game and it corrupted downloading for some reason

jujus 2023-01-09 23:34

Looks so good :0

hfsevans 2023-01-09 23:36

Really polished experienced. Found myself playing for a while!

thierry 2023-01-10 18:32

I tried to download the game, but it just says "Not found". The screenshots look very enticing though.

wolkp 2023-01-10 18:35

@thierry hmm really weird... thanks for letting me know. I've uploaded the game once again, it downloads now

thierry 2023-01-10 18:56

@wolkp Thanks for uploading, it worked this time. The game is also really fun. I personally like the combination of roguelike and card game quite a bit. The laser beam and bomb are particularly satisfying. However, I had a bug on the third run and the enemies couldn't move and the round didn't end, you can see that in the screenshot. Overall, it still feels polished. Well done! Unbenannt.png

It is gorgeous! Very impressive to see a project of this quality in Jam. The gameplay is fun, intuitive, it's pleasant to play and replay, the visual and sound atmosphere is perfect. A really great job!

asfdfdfd 2023-01-10 19:21

It's pretty addictive! BEAM is my favourite card.

thunderchief 2023-01-10 19:41

Excellent game' will definitely make several runs

wolkp 2023-01-10 19:41

@thierry Thanks! Yeah this is a weird bug that sometimes occurs. Didn't have time to fix that one though :p

@kilirane Thanks! <3

@asfdfdfd Yeah, Beam is really cool. I wanted to make more than 3 area cards to make this game more fast-paced. But anyways I'm happy with how it turned out

The first thing that struck me is how pretty the game looks. Really polished for a jam game. I played a couple of rounds. I got a deck with a couple of bombs and meditate cards and that basically allowed me to bomb the hell around. Not sure about the harvest theme though.

lerg 2023-01-10 19:57

Looks really interesting, no html5 build in the works?

back2zero 2023-01-10 20:03

This is incredible! Sat for 2 Hours and just got super engrossed in the game, Absolutely love it!

korvack 2023-01-10 22:07

Solid game on which I could spend hours if there were more cards, powers and synergies! very good atmosphere and mechanics, nice job! =)

wolkp 2023-01-10 22:32

Thanks a lot! @thunderchief @eeperdeheap @back2zero @korvack @lerg Thanks. Currently no, I've tried to launch a html5 build here but it behaved really strange :D

zach-hsu 2023-01-11 00:35

Super polished game, all of the visuals were amazing, and the card system was a really cool addition to the harvest theme

floata3 2023-01-11 03:22

loved this game excellent work

tildecat 2023-01-11 07:44

I like game concept combining cards and digging.

madrededios 2023-01-11 08:50

This game is very cool! :slight_smile: That's a solid Jam submission! Looks great, and the balancing is very very effective! Amazing!

nathan-varughese 2023-01-11 10:55

very well put together

maxlin 2023-01-11 11:10

I like it, well done, very cool game. My favorite cards are bomb and beam, really fun to play!

schnodelfactory 2023-01-11 12:36

Good fun! Very polished, fun gameplay. All around a great submission!<3

publicidadeba 2023-01-11 19:53

Congratulations on creating a unique game that combines card mechanics with mining elements! Your implementation of simple but effective cards, and well-designed user interface is impressive. Despite the pace being slower than some would like, your effort on creating a unique and engaging experience for players is clear. Keep up the good work!

yngvarr 2023-01-12 17:34

This is a high quality game for sure! It really feels like a finished product with only a few minor annoyances. I like the level of polish in UI and how intuitive it is. I kept pressing space instead of clicking myself to activate some cards, though, would love some fault prevention there. Also, the game would benefit from some sort of ending scene, as the ending feels a bit abruptly now. Didn't even have the chance to notice what got me.

That said, very impressive game! Good looking and quite interesting to play. Here's my playthrough: https://youtu.be/0JfZpGT93Zg

wolkp 2023-01-12 18:30

Thank you all for kind words! @yngvarr Wow thanks for that gameplay video! It's the first time I actually see someone else play the game, means a lot to me :D Thanks for the feedback too

Nice gameplay loop, loved the Slay The Spire-esque card system, it fit in really nicely with the gameplay. The sound effects, particularly explosion, were really harsh on my ears and dominated the music too much though.

mololo 2023-01-13 17:01

The game feels very polished, I had fun playing. Great job!

d3kryption 2023-01-14 08:30

A card based mining game with bomber man style bombs. Such a great combo.

The game play is very smooth, the audio is done well. I enjoyed playing this.

The cards really did make the game play. Not being able to beat every enemy instantly and having to back track is a great feature.

nice work! :)

Hello there! The year is 2023, I know, but some of us still run on non-widescreen resolutions:

Screenshot 2023-01-17 21.48.01.png

Next time try to consider us old dinosaurs when you're making your UI :)

I also suffered some weird graphical bugs (z-fighting / everything turning dark??) when trying to play on my laptop, but that is admittedly a niche setup (M2 Macbook Air running Windows 11 ARM via Parallels) and I've seen some graphical flickering issues in other games so I wouldn't worry too much about it, maybe some sort of weird driver issue.

Anyhow, this was fun, I wish there were more cards to make some sort of more degenerate setup like in most deck-building games but I understand this is only an LD entry haha. A minor complaint would be that some of the bomb / hit sfx are overpowering in volume when compared to the music / other audio which means I didn't get to appreciate it as much.

wolkp 2023-01-27 13:16

@ddrkirbyisq Thanks for the feedback! Yeah unusual screen support is something I plan to add when expanding this idea further

I think this is an useful blog post and also it is well-informed and really useful [vampire survivors](https://vampiresurvivors.co). For that reason, I want to thank you for the ventures that you have actually made in writing this post.
