Engine: Unity

Graphics: Gimp

Music/Sound design: Reaper, my mic, my guitar and too much reverb

Font: Yoster Island

Feelings

It took me some time to find an idea that I like. I first thought I would go for yet another platformer. I finally came with an idea that takes some inspirations from Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeondice Monsters and Loop Hero. I really love the concept and hope to build something bigger with that idea in the future.

Trying to go minimalistic for the graphics was real fun. It made me feel weird not to use the animation tool during this jam x)

Hope you enjoy the game, have fun!

I played this cause I really liked your LD49 entry Shoved Serenity and as a big fan of digital board games I have to say this one is super cool as well. Could easily see this being expanded and taken from jam game to full release in a bunch of ways. Keep it up! :)

Thank you very much for your nice comment! I'm really hoping to do some digital board games in the future as I love them too, maybe I'll make a redux version of this one one day!
