Such a simple game concept, but still lots of fun! Would be really cool, if you guys idk made a map of a dungeon that is randomly generated every round you play. Good job!
Great little game got to level 26, but the monsters got me! I knew i should have stocked up on more weapons! I didn't understand the stress mechanic it didn't seem like it did anything.
The devs did a great job. The gameplay loop is simple and fun, but I missed opportunities for choice while playing — something like picking the path I want to take. Maybe more doors to choose from, or even a map showing the player what’s ahead.
hey there ! added on the wishlist , kinda my game genre :3 , the art is awesome and animation very smooth , for now i feel like the items and enemy are balance , sure can happen that you can have bad luck but is the fun of the roguelite ! a thing maybe is the hunger i always wanted to find that because i was always very low on that , even if i need to choose for every room 1 of 3 items , i will always grab food , maybe because i did few run but broo if i was starving in every room eheh
It's a simple game concept but ended up being way more fun than I expected. Lost track of time playing it! Beautiful pixel art and really unique items.
this game was very well put together, the sound design was great as well, however, I think a bit of a tutorial is needed, nothing crazy just something that explains the ui.
Amazing game spent 37 mins to beat it with the knight! Some guidance on the Floor 1-2 may be of some help - rather than drag and drop, I tried clicking the card and the enemy and was confused initially. Would buy full version!
"Scouting" is the most dangerous card, I just died instantly from 8 monsters, lol. It needs to be used with the monster revealing card, then used to reveal all the other item and exit cards.
Yes, it's dangerous. But there is a card that turns all monsters face down. Or a character's skill. Or try clicking on the open noise trap if it open with all cards (this is still a hidden mechanic, I'm not sure if someone used it :))
I do dislike how some cards are direct upgrades of others, like enchantment is to execution (kills enemy + gains meatshield, vs kills enemy while losing 1 HP)
do they have different rarities? They seem to cost the same in shop, at least.
Been playing it a bunch. Vampire definitely feels far, far, far stronger than the knight (stress heal when full, maybe more loot due to food not spawning, and ability 3-shotting the boss if you save it until the end).
I would suggest buffing the knight so that a 2nd armor card gives 75%, or 100% of the value, and removing vampire's stress heal.
That said, the game's balance is in a pretty great spot right now (challenging when you start, fairly consistent to beat once you know what you're doing, low/no frustration towards RNG outside your control).
seems like the boss that deals 5 dmg consistently is fairly balanced. The boss that grows to do 8 dmg feels a bit weak and maybe should grow in damage further, maybe it deals +1 turn every turn it's not taken out.
Can't really tell how strong the 100 dmg boss is, the indicator for when it attacks is unintuitive or nonexistent. Either it's a cakewalk taken down in three turns as vampire, or it's a decent struggle as the knight to survive the first hit, preferably with iron hoof + armor.
Really great game! My first run with the knight ended at floor 16, but the second with the vampire I managed to beat, although it was really close (if I didn't get berserk and rest in the shop before the boss I'd be dead).
I can't wait to see what kind of updates you release for this game, it has great potential! Wishlisted on Steam <3
Vampire is DEFINITELY easier than knight, due to the stress recovery mechanic. (and the bite mechanic 3-shotting the boss if you save it and only use it on the boss) And also more loot because food doesn't spawn? (not sure)
At the end, I had to fight a boss with 100 damage and 100 HP. I would’ve lost if I didn’t have two Berserk cards and only 6/64 HP left on my character.
Honestly, it’s a great game to spend some time with. I’ll be keeping an eye out for updates and will recommend it to some friends so they can try it too
Hi! I just started the game (browser build) for the very first time (version 0.3), but I have localization issues and when I click the first button (which should be "play" I guess) the game does not start.
I see this error in the browser inspector when the play button is clicked:
KeyNotFoundException: Language not found: Italian
at Assets.SimpleLocalization.cl.zm (System.String a)
Great, I confirm that it works now. Played the demo and loved it! As a quick suggestion, I think that fighting common monsters isn't too rewarding in the current version: an enemy costs HPs and "weapon durability", but when defeated it does not give big rewards to the player: I'd try to tweak this a little bit.
Great demo, I love the aesthetic and feel. You're onto something here, but I have some ideas.
First, at least with the default character, it just takes too long for the game to get challenging, and too long for that challenge to escalate. The difficulty curve is also too constant... Having a mini-boss every third or fifth floor before the shop would make things more dynamic.
pretty cool, mechanics were simple enough for a dummy like me to understand. i did get a small bug with stacking of the cards in hand after i played a card, but then it reset itself to normal after another turn

A very cool and polished game. Really enjoyed it even though Im not even these types of games. Keep it up
Thank you 😊
Cool Game!
Thanks!

We'll think about the map if the players ask us to :)

Oh, you were so close to winning :(

We will try to balance everything as much as possible :)

This is really fun. The art and sound are very satisfying.

Tutorial in development
Bro este juego es muy epico! <3
Thanks!
How this imposible ?

^ this first playable build 15.04.2024
I developed the same game in 2024 )))
I've never seen your game before, but I agree that the gameplay mechanics are similar:)

Thanks for the feedback!
Tutorial in development
Good game!
Thanks!
Mr 4Cats Sir, would you mind updating the android export to include x86 so I can play it on an android emulator (,,>﹏<,,)
I'll try to update the build this weekend
Updated!:)
Good!
Pretty addictive! Controls are intuitive too!!
Thanks!
Awesome !! Its just the bg music makes me irritating, when i play the game for a long time
Thanks for the feedback!
You can change the volume of music/sounds in the settings:)

Yes, it's dangerous. But there is a card that turns all monsters face down. Or a character's skill. Or try clicking on the open noise trap if it open with all cards (this is still a hidden mechanic, I'm not sure if someone used it :))
Or clear half the board, enough you can handle remaining monsters
Scouting is definitely one of my favorite cards both to save on food, and to easily curb stomp the final boss.
Great game, but how do I save my progress?
Android platform
There is nothing to save at the moment)
But there will be a meta-session in the full version, so the saves will be there
Great game!
Thank you!
Very fun game!
Thank you!
Is Scouting supposed to instantly kill you if you use it on the final floor?
Perhaps after opening the cards, the boss dealt fatal damage
Yeah vampire definitely feels like bullying the final boss lmao
Definitely something needs to be done with this large amount of gold;)
nuuuu! my dragon hoard! lol
😂
Tru
But I just dealt 50 damage with my skill
I do dislike how some cards are direct upgrades of others, like enchantment is to execution (kills enemy + gains meatshield, vs kills enemy while losing 1 HP)
do they have different rarities? They seem to cost the same in shop, at least.
I'll see what I can do. Most likely, the price of the cards in the store will be changed

addendum: the three bosses seem decent,

addendum 2: disappointed that iron hoof doesn't work on vitality increase cards. That would have been pretty fun.
Thank you for such a great review!
The balance will still be fixed, this is not the final version :)
woow amazing game really enjoy and understand everything very fast
I am very glad that you figured it out without the tutorial, because it is still in development
Haven’t played anything like it before so it was a new one for me.
Looking forward to the full release!
Thank you for your feedback and waiting for the full version!
Really great game! My first run with the knight ended at floor 16, but the second with the vampire I managed to beat, although it was really close (if I didn't get berserk and rest in the shop before the boss I'd be dead).
I can't wait to see what kind of updates you release for this game, it has great potential! Wishlisted on Steam <3

I agree, the game's quite nice.
But the knight seems easier to me:)
Thanks for the feedback! I will try to make more interesting mechanics in the full version.
Really, really good stuff. Captures the feel of blobbers in a different setting, and it's nice to have a card game that isn't an RLDB. Wishlisted.
Thanks!
Balatro type of game haha
Oh, if only :)
The game is really fun and entertaining!
At the end, I had to fight a boss with 100 damage and 100 HP. I would’ve lost if I didn’t have two Berserk cards and only 6/64 HP left on my character.

I'm glad you enjoyed it and had a great time:)
hi! ive just found this game-- really good stuff. i wanted to ask, is the browser version any different from the installable version?
Hi!
There is no difference between the versions. Versions were created so that everyone can choose what they want
Quite fun! Definitely needs a few mini-bosses or stuff, difficulty curve seems too linear.
OR change it so that there's only 15 or 20 levels, the game is a little too long for the few new mechanics introduced.
Would be also nice to buy a card/inventory slot for 20-30 gold also.
I tend to have 30+ gold by the ends of runs just awkwardly sitting there, lol.
Thanks for your feedback and ideas!
Meta progression is currently under development. The balance will also be changed!

Hi! I'm sorry about this bug:(
I'll fix it within an hour
Fixed!

Thanks for the tip, I'll think about what I can do
Finally finished it - boss scared the heck out of me :D Fantastic game.
Thanks! And have fun running:)

There is no meta-progression yet, but it is already being done. It's a good point about mini-bosses!
you are onto something here. Hope it make it to the market
Thank you. I hope so too :)
I like this game,thanks for the experience
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing game! The animations, art, and gameplay are brilliant. Bravo!
Thank you for your kind words!
pretty cool, mechanics were simple enough for a dummy like me to understand. i did get a small bug with stacking of the cards in hand after i played a card, but then it reset itself to normal after another turn
Thanks for the feedback!
I will try to fix this small but unpleasant bug
