This could be a board game, great job :)

This was so good! It took me a round to figure out what was happening but after that developing a strategy and having it play out was fantastic.

My only nit is that I wish when you picked up cards, the center of the cards went over your mouse instead of the corner, so it's easier to place them.

Really nice job!

@danga @locksmitharmy thank you!

conrad-etherton 2024-04-15 18:02

Wow, really well done! Trading your own health for minion stats is a really nice addition to this type of card game. The turns and damaging system were not entirely clear at first, but once I knew how it worked, the game provided interesting strategic decision points. Overall a very solid package of story, theme, and mechanics!

fredrik-andersson 2024-04-15 18:03

This was a really nice submission! Drawing from life to enemy was a really interesting mechanic

godknows 2024-04-15 18:09

Nice gameplay, cool design

dams333 2024-04-15 18:21

Really cool, gameplay is really fun, I just lost time to understand I have to choose between health and strength

adam-konig 2024-04-15 20:51

Love the combat mechanic as a mix of auto battler and deck building. Excellent entry and the dialog was hilarious

katelyn-trout 2024-04-15 20:52

loved the vibe and music was great! i could definitely see how this game could be continually built out with more mechanics and characters!

cirno 2024-04-16 05:02

Nice game. The idea that skeletons have better portraits on high level is great.

2024-04-16 08:29

Fantastic game! This was really well put togheter! Playing this makes it feel like the tutorial for a game that would go on for hours.

deloriand 2024-04-16 08:46

Favorite game of this game jam so far ! The design of the cards are spot on ! It takes a couple of tries to understand the gameplay mechanics, but once you understand how it's working you can really start to plan your next moves. Well done !!!

hazard-game-dev 2024-04-16 09:06

Great game overall, needs more mechanics but has everything else in spades.

x0tero 2024-04-16 09:13

great game, simple and effective design! good work

meepster 2024-04-16 09:22

What an awesome game submission! Making such an engaging card game in such a short period of time must have been a challenge. Loved the games art style. The music was very triumphant.

Overall great work!

alecto 2024-04-16 09:31

Nice card game you have there!

ashketchdem 2024-04-16 10:03

This game is so good. The art style look very, very polished. The cards are super well animated. The skulls and goblins look super cool. I like the talking in between rounds. The soundtrack and sound effects fit the game perfectly. The look and feel of the game is really, really good. This would definitely be a game I would play the full version of. I am jealous of what you managed to create in such a short time. My favorite entry so far, keep up the good work!

crashmusashi 2024-04-16 10:22

Great entry! Very well done! Had a great time playing it!!

pusheeneiro 2024-04-16 10:32

Interesting card management mechanics

nash 2024-04-16 11:51

Once it clicks it is quite a solid game. Some things never opened up for me - for example what determines the numbers (bones?) I get to my hand. But that did not matter too much for the overall experience.

Trading health for summoned minion stats was a neat idea.

Overall, a very solid entry!

alkemiste 2024-04-16 12:00

Really solid concept! Quick to grasp and immediately enjoyable.

0x0961h 2024-04-16 14:00

Was really surprised by the music! :laughing: It's an interesting game, I did feel that it's a bit unbalanced, but it's a game jam, so it's understandable! Can really expand it into something bigger. :slight_smile:

emaigualmc2-art 2024-04-16 14:41

Great job! Incredible artistic work. The design and art for the cards and characters is beautiful. I had a lot of fun with the game, excellent job!!! xd

doonutsaur 2024-04-16 15:02

Good job! solid mechanics!

gdmage 2024-04-16 15:36

I beat the game!!! Thanks for your work. Great game, I really enjoyed it. It was interesting and moderately difficult.

enver-arco 2024-04-16 16:06

Nice foundation of a card game for a game jam, well done. As others said I really liked that skeleton portraits got more badass with higher levels

konstantinreed 2024-04-16 16:48

I like the graphics. It was quite challenging to try to beat the AI. Thanks for the enjoyable gaming experience!

gonzo13 2024-04-16 18:42

Solid gameplay! Pretty graphics. Good theme implementation. Good work!

nyanpierre 2024-04-16 18:59

Great game with inscryption inspiration. I really liked the mechanic of using your life to boost your summoned creatures, I didn't understand it in my first game and I lost but when you understand it it adds a new vision to the game. managed to beat the orc and the goblin finally but barely! Big gg for the game

tugaryn 2024-04-16 19:08

@nyanpierre yeeah inscryption inspiration is a lot

nsadie 2024-04-16 19:31

The web build is not working that well for me. The UI is stretched all over the screen I have to zoom out the itch page to 50% to be able to play. I think it might be because I'm playing on a 4k tv. Any case, I loved the game! It reminded me of Inscryption. I liked the mechanics a lot and can see myself coming back for some more rounds!

tugaryn 2024-04-16 19:35

@nsadie strange, game was designed to fullhd, i think it caused the issue, thank you for feedback

merb1000 2024-04-16 20:07

Fun concept you had here! It is very thoroughly polished with good graphics, music, and clear controls. I liked the dialogue and the gameplay was solid. One critique is that the game was difficult for the first 1-3 rounds, but after filling each space with a skeleton you're basically set for the rest of the game. Sending in more than one monster at a time or having monsters with special abilities might make the "late game" more interesting. Overall great job here!

pseudonclide 2024-04-16 20:26

The music started, I was "Hell yeah! Go my skeleton minions! Go!!" ..And then I lost. That's a solid game though, with beautiful graphics and music! A little hard at start up, but really fun !

shugor 2024-04-17 07:05

Really love the artwork and dialogue! Figuring out what I needed to do in combat was a little bit confusing, perhaps more tutorial or something written in the description would help? I also didn't notice the attack raising UI as it was stuck under the "next" button initially but that may just be my screen. Overall great job!

squidly 2024-04-17 07:16

Big Biggy wanted me to tell you that he thinks he needs a buff

Also, cool concept, a little confusing to get into but it works when you figure it out. I kept pressing the Next button instinctively during cutscenes and they got a free hit in.

ziggy 2024-04-17 10:06

Could do with a bit more balancing, but really cool idea. Good work!

justaroom 2024-04-18 19:09

Lovely game, love the art and it feels very polished, great stuff

hotdog 2024-04-19 11:24

That was fun to play! Really feels like it could be expanded to a bigger game with more cards and mechanics. Good job!

chiara-sanviti 2024-04-20 11:51

Very nice idea. One of the most original concepts I've seen. The general level of the game is very high, it would have been better with more feedback, particles and the use of lights, but given the short time the result is still excellent!

tugaryn 2024-04-20 17:51

@chiara-sanviti yes, you are right, thanks you

baluj 2024-04-23 02:28

Nice game, I like art and music, I've had a good time playing it. Good job!

2024-04-24 18:59

Really cool game! Definitely could be developed further into a single player card game. I also really liked the sound and pacing of the textbox.

cope 2024-04-27 15:35

Very fun card game
