not sure if you're still looking at this game, but there is a bug where you could keep replaying the card in the 'discard pile' lol. I played a Short Bow and then I just kept clicking the Short Bow in the 'graveyard' and killed everything with just that one card haha
Great game! Everyone is saying stiletto is broken, but magic has a better build:
~ 4x Magic Energy 2
~ 2x Fireball
~ 3x Tutor
~ Consumables
If you use it properly, you can farm the magic energies and use tutor into itself, while having spare energy to use fireball along the way!
P.S. I got to the end but it just says “Encounter” but when I press it it does nothing :p Still, it’s just an end screen, the game itself is great!
Hey thank you for the response! The current v2 prototype fixes all the infinite card combos with 1 easy fix--used cards dont go into discard until the end of turn :)
Ooh that’s actually a pretty smart fix :) Damage is limited to how many damagers you have in your deck
This game is basically an example of why games like Yu-Gi-Oh or Magic limit how many duplicates of a card you can have.
well max copies in ygo is 3, and in Magic is 4;
I managed to beat this game with with a deck containing ONLY 2 COPIES OF STILETTO, this card is insainely broken and loops into itself.
The consumable food cards helped a lot in creating this clicking frenzy deck.
Crazy how this game is getting plays two years after I made it! You're definitely right that stiletto was broken, but making a game in a weekend will do that to ya! In the future I'd make food not count towards deck size and perhaps instead of limiting card counts just make them harder to get.
Fun, and the card ideas are neat, but the balance is kinda a problem. Stilettos kill every enemy in the game in one round without any problems if you have 10 of them. I balanced card draw and mana to keep a short sword and scatter in the deck too just in case, but even the Black Knight just has health and no damage reduction or retaliation or anything.
You can go below 10 cards because food so you could even make an infinite combo of stilettos with just the ones you start with if you can get enough food to pad out the rest of your deck for one batttle.
Other than that, the biggest problems I ran into were:
1) no scrollbars. I assume this was a time concern because Game Jam, but it was still annoying. To edit your deck you have to add your collection to it except the cards you want to add, then remove your deck except any cards you want to get rid of, then memorize what card you are at, then move your collection back from the deck to the collection area, then move the top cards into your deck until you reach the cut-off point. Also Archmages have so much stuff without scrollbars, you maybe can't see the last cards they have for sale.
2) no ending screen. Again, probably a time constraint. Annoying to beat the Black Knight and then just be stuck in a glitched state, though.
3) You can't buy the reaper scythe from the reaper shop. Not sure why.
You can scroll in your deck, there just wasnt a bar. Thanks for reaching out about the other issues though!
fun game :)
