The cost for upgrading the purchasable card level seems to quickly outpace the cost for the price decrease upgrade. The card level upgrade cost is 4 billion, and the cost decrease upgrade is 163 million, and when I have to purchase a card, it still only cost 1 coin. The level progression of the cards in the game also feels a little slow to me. My cards are level 34 while the cards I'm facing are 30/31 ecluding the commander card.
I agree, there definitely is some work needed in balancing everything to make it less lop sided. I didn't have time to dial it in so I ended up just ensuring the enemy was too weak not too powerful so it would be fun :)
Aside from that, did you have any other suggestions? Thanks for playing btw :)
After round 53 i gave up. i dont know if i got lucky at the beginning but i never found any challenge, the 6 mistakes i made were just out of distraction since i clicked everything very fast. got there after 30 minutes, then walked off from pc so theres why the timing seems so long. I think the game could have potential with more cards added, and with some balancing done.
thanks for playing! Yes I deliberately made it too easy rather than too hard as I didn’t have time to properly balance it and I didn’t want people to give up!
I agree it definitely needs some more cards too, did you have any suggestions?
Hello again, thank you so much for playing and recording a gameplay video!
It was very interesting to see. Btw you can click on the magnifying glass to make the cards bigger, you only tried hovering it. I'll have to find a way to make that more intuitive somehow.
Also you found a bug - you're not meant to 'draw' against cards of the same suit but have a higher level than your card, that's meant to be a loss!
No, I meant the challenge was getting rid of all cards. There legendary card that beats all others except itself but it actually beats itself if it has higher level. So I found I had to (after being very ahead in the game and upgrading this card to a quite high level) let the game catch up with me again and for there to be a card that beats mine :)
Ah I see, it was impossible to lose, you were too powerful! What made you want to seek out the lose screen and not just end the game as an undefeatable god? lol
Jokers as in balatro jokers cards that modify the other cards and stuff. using the card that destroys everything you could add a mirror or something that defeats that card no matter what.
Ah I see, combo cards and card effects! That's a great idea. I wanted to add a mirror card but I ran out of time! Did you have any other card suggestions?
I wish I could sell my cards that way I don't have to kill them to get new cards and I wish there was more thing to the level feature like maybe making your cards better (maybe skill tree? idk)
Yes! Selling cards was the next thing I was going to add but I ran out of time unfortunately! I agree it’s a feature it definitely needs.
Levels would be more relevant if I’d balanced the opponent’s levels a bit better but I made it too easy rather than too hard so people wouldn’t just give up!
possibly make common cards also gain abilities like the shield or galaxy or maybe could make them effective against new cards or maybe have abilities like taking out two cards from the opponent
I can add one if you want? Is there not a way to download the hmtl file? My browser only games always show up as having 'downloads', so I thought this was a feature somewhere
Pleaase and do you mind to add a toggle for touch and swipe controls so we can enjoy on mobile edit : nvmd its touch able but the scaling is of on mobile screens
I'm currently unable to upload anything to this listing as the files are locked for the jam rating period, so I have made a separate page with the download here.
If you have a device that can run this game that has a touch screen, for example if you run it on Proton on a Steamdeck, it should work. A surface tablet would work too.
It should also scale correctly too! You can resize the window you want.
Yeah, I think it could probably do with a bit better balancing and some more cards in the mix!
The problem is, adding more cards makes the battle logic exponentially more complicated, and I didn't have the time to write something shorter than a massive switch statement lol

Good concept but the scaling is a little too slow making it quite easy
Wow, 1 hour! Thanks for playing
It definitely needs some balancing, I agree - I wanted to make it too easy rather than too hard so people wouldn't just give up.
Do you have any suggestions for what could be added?
canz i haves downloadable windows build please? :c
Sure :)

I really liked it, and the only other things would be to add more card variation, and increase the deck size a little too.
For sure - any particular variations you'd like to see?

One thing i was thinking is that to make it harder and more tactical, is that when there are draws you dont lose a card but it gets slighly damaged
Also Legendary and epic cards should be more expensive to upgrade instead of the commons
Thank you, those are great ideas! I really like all of those ideas, especially the health one - do you have any other ideas?
A little gameplay, a little critique ;)

Great fun! It was actually kinda challenging to get to the "score" screen after some time.

Wow, that's quite the play through! What was challenging about it, the enemy card levels were getting too high and you'd keep running out of cards?

Very Satisfying And Fun Gameplay Great Job!!, A little more balancing could help but overall amazing.
Thanks, yes I completely agree that more balancing is needed for sure :)
Had a lot of fun would love to see it expanded with more abilitys and cards and joker like cards
Thanks for playing! What other cards would you want to see? Joker is a good point, but I'm not sure what he would do

What would the skill tree do?
possibly make common cards also gain abilities like the shield or galaxy or maybe could make them effective against new cards or maybe have abilities like taking out two cards from the opponent
That's a great idea! Special card abilities you can purchase and place on cards. Anything else?
maybe being able to make your deck bigger that way you can get more money before returning but that might mess up the more money upgrade
Perhaps being able to make your deck bigger but you can still only take 8 cards into battle!
I absolutely love the game! I started playing and couldnt stop, such a cool concept! Also, the sounds, animations, art, everything is smooth!
Greaat great work!
Thanks! I'm really happy you liked it :)
its reaaaly fun and addicting we need a download
Thanks!

This is a fun idea!
If you get a bit ahead early on, then you end up almost unstoppable. The almost being the legendary card.
I'm glad you had fun!

rock paper scissors lizard spock...
Yes this did cross my mind! I think I'd have to change out the copyrighted character though, and also, this:
But if you examine it closely, it barely makes any sense, like how does paper defeat a gun or a dragon? or even water?
