The UI design and art is incredibly nice, and the core loop is fun.

The readability for the text was a slight struggle for me, and the difficulty and money ramps up a bit faster than I'd personally like.

Great job overall, I can tell that there's a ton of polish behind this and I think that's pretty commendable.

Game is quite fun. Game was visually amazing! does seem somewhat chance based as in my first playthrough didn't really have much to deal damage. Also didn't really know some cards really did experimentation didn't really clear some things up.

Such as chic art style!

Oh, I saw your wip-posts on Mastodon! :wave: Glad to see you finished it! It's ***really*** good looking and I low-key dig the combination of idle game with sort of "vampire survivour"-esque fun. I would personally tone down the blurry effect on the border at the tutorial page for it to not getting in the way of reading the instructions. Also it was a bit confusing on what screen I am right now: like I pick the sticker and then I suddenly see few new cards, first few times I was a bit lost, then read about the stickers and it clicked. Also, to my personal taste, I would also love to take control sometimes, because AI can be really dumb in general and it'll shoot in a direction that is not that important, but that's just me, it's my constant complain about autoshooting games. :sweat_smile:

I really like the concept, idea and the whole vibe of your entry, however. Would really love to see you expanding on the idea! Great job!

Your game had me laughing so hard, I've got the giggle abs! Great job, my friend – you've got the humor game on lock!

jacob-diaz 2024-04-16 14:36

Really nice look and feeling!

spudsef 2024-04-16 14:37

Really impressed! I agree with others regarding blurry effect and balancing needing to be slightly refined. Otherwise I absolutely love the art style. Truly a *slightly* rough but beautiful gem of a game!

I survived just under 3 minutes, and I'm quite impressed. How on earth was this game created in such a short time, even if we skip the graphics. Great job!

Great art and sound. It feels like a finished indie game. The only problem I found was that cards cover the screen and when I'm playing I want to read them, but have a feeling I'm missing on the action.

macbarette 2024-04-16 20:35

Wow i really love that art style everything fit's so well sure gonna be one of my favorites of the jam GG :)

kseniya 2024-04-16 22:16

this is a very cool game, I liked it, but I want to add creativity

pattedecanaard 2024-04-16 23:01

The art is absolutely incredible, and the game is extremely well-polished. I particularly like the sticker mechanic. Well done !

capreola 2024-04-16 23:03

This game is so incredibly stylish! The art, the design, and the UI are so polished and pleasing to the eye. I would not expect that level of quality from something made in three days, kudos to you! I did feel that I would like a bit more control, the gameplay felt not engaging enough for me. It was hard to lose too, maybe it needs a bit more of a challenge. Overall, great game, well dome!

citsua 2024-04-16 23:04

Looks incredibly good, and it's a very cool twist on the classic deckbuilder!

fenix131113 2024-04-16 23:36

Really good game with good graphics. This art style... I love it. It can be full game on steam.

melissa-stodolnik 2024-04-16 23:38

Very atmospheric looking. love the music and overall quite a nice game, I think I could get stuck in it for a long time? design and UI are amazing!

james-greenleaf 2024-04-16 23:49

Wow, what a gorgeous game. The whole aesthetic is phenomenal, and the game loop is great. I hope you turn this into a full release!

tavevil 2024-04-17 01:46

This game is absolutely stunning! I love all the UI elements and animations. great work!

westeaststudio 2024-04-17 05:25

It is too good for 72 hours. Great job!

skizil 2024-04-17 07:34

fun game, choosing system is pretty cool

vladimperator 2024-04-17 07:55

I couldn't kill the boss, it's way too tough. Nonetheless the game is crazy good.

sozey 2024-04-17 10:09

Incredible work on this, the visuals are just amazing, and the gameplay is super fun. Good job and congratulations!

bx007 2024-04-17 10:23

Impressive work! Graphics and audio work very well.

kamuniaft 2024-04-17 10:24

Wow, it's like cuphead and vampire survivors having a child :D The overall artstyle is really kicking, looks great! It would be cool to set game on pause though while you are on the upgrade screen. Otherwise you don't really have enough time to go thorugh the details and think about what you are doing.

martenj 2024-04-17 14:17

Best game so far for me!! 5/5 Stars! I love card play games like this! The whole game is solid, I know you dont did everything own your own, but for a solo project in three days. Thats and incredible result. You should go on with that game!

matthewdrake 2024-04-17 14:48

Really loved the atmosphere and art-style, very true to your inspirations. Couldn't quite get the balance right so I didn't last long, but still a really fun and well-polished game. Great work!

durrani19 2024-04-17 18:55

How does one achieve such polish in 72 hours?? Great mood and atmosphere, a little hard to figure out but fun gameplay loop and excellent art!

unfrog 2024-04-17 18:55

Great art style! Found the symbols a bit confusing at first but got the hang of it, solid game for the time given.

jdeedubs 2024-04-17 20:03

I can't believe how well put together this game is!

I'm completely smitten with how polished and complete this feels. The core gameplay loop is very addicting: I've had a couple of really powerful builds, and a few real stinkers, haha. Everything feels so sleek, but I would have loved being able to hover my stickers to remind me what they did, or maybe even peel them off if I found they weren't working so well. Also, can I equip an infinite amount of relics? I couldn't find much info after I purchased them. Where do I see the ones I bought?

Truly an awesome submission, thanks for sharing it with us!

erik-tate 2024-04-17 23:59

This game doesn't even feel like a jam game. This is like something I would expect to see on Steam or for sale on Itch. Absolutely fantastic work :clap: It's a bummer you had to opt out of the graphics category because the art and overall style is top notch. I remember seeing some of your progress in the discord and being blown away at how good things were looking even then! The game mechanics were all smooth and I never noticed anything not working the way I expected it to. I wasn't good enough to make it to the boss, but the difficulty really seems to ramp up suddenly. Not sure if that's been a common occurrence with others or not.

Great work! You should be super proud!

scurvystevon 2024-04-18 00:59

Killer cuphead vibes. Was upset at it being a vampire survivor clone mechanically though. Great execution. Looks ready for commercial release!

prcastro 2024-04-18 01:35

This is probably the most interesting game visually that I came across. Of course, very inspired by cartoons and Cuphead, but beautiful nevertheless. The UI is lacking a bit of polish, but it does its job. The only problem is balance, but polishing this take a lot of trial and error for a game jam. Great work!

dabper 2024-04-18 01:47

Really like the design for the waves of enemies approaching, and the frog-like enemies that seemed to look like hand puppets!

thormoth 2024-04-18 10:08

This is a really nice submission, love the visuals/art style. Found the beginning wasn't super intuitive, but after a few deaths figured out a couple strategies and started surviving for longer and it was a lot of fun. As others have said, very vampire survivors-esque. Overall really well done submission!

megh-menghani 2024-04-18 14:07

Incredibly polished game. Wish the post processing would not affect the text as it made it a little hard to read

vengerbergskaya 2024-04-18 18:56

It so good So. Good. Thank you!

tricky-fat-cat 2024-04-18 18:57

Magical game, the gameplay loop is smooth and very well balanced, I would recommend to add some summon cards at the very beginning as it was a bit confusing. Overall, really good job.

fusionnist 2024-04-19 03:35

A good time! I won with 10 million armor points at the end :)

thiefviolinist 2024-04-26 18:10

very nice atmosphere
