A wonderful card game with fairly simple rules. I regret that there aren't more cards.

Would love to see more, this was fun ;)
Cool card game. A little bit hard to understand at the beginning but then it's nice! And I like the art a lot
Fun card game, needed a second to understand how it works, but enjoyed it.
Really interesting and fun card game! The art is really creepy I love it!
Nicely creepy art style :) It took me a bit to understand how the cards really worked, but I probably was just overthinking it. Made it until stage 14 during first try, before I stopped. By that time the reportet FPS went down, from an average of 1300 to 400 ;) Maybe it would be a nice feature when the cards your opponent plays would also interact with yours. Like when the hand of God might Backfire, because the opponent also played one, destroying your set of two.
@archaeognathus I'm glad you enjoyed the game. As for the opponent's cards interacting with yours, we had many ideas for the cards and it was one of them but the time didn't allow us to add all of our ideas. One of the things we had to scrap would be the items which you could buy just like the cards which would alter the cards' effects. Fps go down because the game is really unoptimized, for example when a card disappears it doesn't actually disappear but just turns invisible. I didn't put much effort into fixing the issue since it's not really that important especially for a jam game. Thank you for playing our game!
Beautiful art and very nice feel. Controls really nicely too
Could not run the game on my computer (Win11 x64). After clicking on the the Summoner.exe a window open with a white screen and then closed after a couple of seconds. No Error message.
@martenj I'm very sorry for that and if you're still interested in playing our game I'll do my best to help you. If you download [this](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KF-XArTttiwOL6VLOvCy0wAOMjc_C-tT/view?usp=sharing) and replace it in the game files, the game will start saving logs in Logs folder. If you could send me the log I might be able to help you.
Wow, just really cool, cool art, cool, simple, but engaging gameplay, wish there was some more cards, but still this is awesome
Interesting concept, it looks like it has some potential for future development
Other reviewers like "a bit hard to understand at first" and I'm over here staring trying to click on things for a solid 2 min before I realized I'm supposed to use a keyboard :crying_cat_face:
@kristinamay Yeah, a simple tutorial would've probably been a good idea. We're sorry
@vladimperator lol it's okay! It's a game jam, after all!
ah I crashed on a tie I think, but the animations of the card expaning and flipping really created a nice atmosphere, well done :)
Cool art, especially love the background. I'm a little confused on how the combat works though, and responsiveness of buttons was slow. Otherwise a cool concept though
very nice arts and interesting concept! game has potential. but i have a question, why some files in game directory have dated 20,22,23 years? old concept?
@hsg-gringo These are third party libraries' files
Wow. A card game with an interesting style.
Simple art with casual game core mechanic. But lack of unique cards.
good game, the art style is amazing, i really like simple card games
