In such a tiny game, i wonder how much storytelling there is for me, and i really in love with art!

Excellent work! A very polished experience. I liked the pixel art, the audio was crisp, and the references were amusing.

Definitely feels really polished and well executed. Nice game!

That game is so polished haha, the animation and the music just hit perfectly right ! I just think the resolution of the pixel art is a bit too low, it's not so easy to read the cards. Anyway, great job !

Excellent short game. Easy to understand, fun to play, super polished!

It took me a few games to understand what I was doing fully but it's a really creative take on the jam! Eventually won a round and felt accomplished. Wahoo!

Excellent job!

Technically impressive. I love the card sprites and how juicy everything is. Music is great, sound effects hit right. Flavor text on the cards is fun. Good vibes here.

The card mechanics were straightforward and easy to understand, after one round of flailing I had it down. Solid entry!

Music and visuals come together so well, this is definitely a really nice execution! The descriptions on the cards were quite fun to read and I really liked how the stressed words have their letters floating.

Graphics and VFX are great, this feels really polished, sound and music fit pretty nicely in and I liked the descriptions of the cards, it was a nice touch even if I was a bit confused at first cause I thought I needed to understand what was written on the cards. The gameplay itself is a bit confusing, I know the concept it's simple but I could not get it at first, only after my first loss did I understand how this was working. Also, I have the feeling that the green zones sometimes overlap their containers ? I think I can see it also on one of your screenshots. Anyway, it's a great entry, well played !

A unique game, and a surprising interpretation of the theme. You are right, one can be "summoned" to court. That being said, I had a hard time understanding the pros and cons of each card. Mainly, I aimed for a balance as much as I could. I did fairly well, with just one or two categories "too high."

I especially liked your write-up on the TIC-80 on the main page. It is good to see people are still developing for this system.

Really nice! I like the strategy involved and the elements of uncertainty involved in your current standing. I appreciate how it doesn't spoon feed us our current standing. I could see this being a great in-person board game concept!

andriybyelikov 2024-04-23 03:17

I think I understood the concept but I don't think it really fits a court game because it is too dependent on chance. Maybe it it wasn't dependent on chance and you had to obtain the cards in a more deterministic way it would work. The music reminds me of Ace Attorney. Could make for an interesting game with a story and less chance. Good job!
