Solitaire Battle

Fun game! Got the hang of it as I went, the old man beat me on my first go =P keep up the great work and left a follow!

It was fun and unique! Thank you for the demo

The only concern I have is... it's hard to understand what 'heat' does and why I need to bother, also there is so many cards that give some heat bonuses and I look on them like on useless ones

The only thing I look for is damage and shields, stun also work good

Anyway, good luck on improving the game! I like the characters and the overall vibe

I love solitaire, and i love similar aggressive puzzle games like bum-bo, but the new mechanics felt really unintuitive (other than the mana).

the fact that the enemy uses the same board as you means that the long combos that feel unearned from the player can also be had by enemy. not that it matters because i always had enough HP to tank through the attacks i didn't know were coming (due to the fact that attacks are based on what card you draw at the start of your turn [as in: your staring card determines how large of a combo you can have since finding the combos is not a problem for moderately good solitaire players]).

there are times where neither the enemy or I do anything for 5 turns as try to gain a single point of mana to hopefully get a better starting card than them.

the style feels "so retro" to the point of annoyance, no offense to the artist (the backgrounds are wonderful and should be available to download for wallpapers). but IMO the pixel art aesthetic is overused, and i feel like this game would fit with a more hand-drawn look (feel free to ignore that critique in particular, i know that's personal taste).

card descriptions as well as descriptions in general feel vague, as if explaining to someone who's played the game through already, and limit isn't very well explained at all. the tutorial doesn't explain how enemies attack the same was as the player. which can sound silly with the mindset of "of course the enemy attacks the same way as the player" but other games (and I am using bum-bo as a reference) have the enemies move and attack in predictable ways to allow the player the ability to plan around their scheduled attacks.

in this game, my shield cards feel like randomly my funny heart number goes down less for no reason, rather than "i planned out the enemy's moves and knew to block this turn"

I would also like to say that the health pools feels too large in general. i feel like if the player stayed at lower hp and was only punished for mistakes it would make the player feel like they solved a puzzle perfectly for making through a run without getting hit- which seems impossible with the way enemies attack.

the mimic fight was long and dragged out meaning i lost 2 whole dollars (not the largest impact but annoying) (fights tend to drag out a lot)

TL,DR:

i really would like to stress that the HP feels very ignorable.

mechanics need better explinations (limit)

the tutorial needs more tutorialization

combos dont feel earned at all, for either the player or enemy

fights are dragged out by the lack of sudo-random card placements or a "too many turns have been skipped" safe gaurd

i felt out of control in a puzzle game

attacks feel random as you dont focus on their procs

(if your reply to this is along the lines of "you just don't know" make sure i know in the tutorial)

i hope to come back later and have a blast with the game.
wish you all the best. take care.

Is the collection bugged for "Win with all B rank equips"? I've done that a couple times but didn't get the stamp.

This game is sooooo good!!!
I downloaded and it immediately turned an addiction, I showed my friend and now we compete every time!!!

I’m a real fan!!! It’s amazing!!!!

I would love to play this game on mobile, so an android release or web player would be sick!

So, I've been trying to get all the stamps and such and one thing bothered me: The mimic isn't very well designed, and by that I mean I do not feel incentivized to play its game most of the time. The idea of collecting gold at the risk of increasing its damage output is good on paper, but in practice it makes battling it a slog since it doesn't produce real gold often enough for it to get enough power from greed. Not to mention that I think it should never appear as the final boss because it makes the gold gimmick moot.

Wondering how development is going. I've been playing the game for 9 hours apparently (Wow) and I've noticed that there isn't enough variety in synergies for a good chunk of characters to be viable. I understand the game is in an early, very incomplete state but as it is certain characters function better than others. Also, the "Gained $X" display is confusing because the bonuses are already added to the base but the base itself is never shown, so it looks like you got more money than you actually did.

Cool game but for some reason all the music and sound effects sounded really distorted for me? Like they were playing at half speed, heavy crackling. Restarting didn’t help.

Hi! We played your game on stream and really enjoyed it!

Could I suggest some sort of confirmation for quitting back to the title? I've accidentally ended my game twice now because the quit to title button is closer to my cursor than the back button when I'm examining the opponent, and my brain thinks the X means "close window and return to game" without stopping to read the mouseover text for some reason
