I was thinking of making this an actual card game in my roleplaying group. But, to do so, I would need to make a deck of cards. Do you have all of the card images somewhere or is it best to just copy them as I turn them up
If you are using Chrome you can open More tools > Developer tools > Network. There you'll see all the resources the game uses (i.e. sounds and images) and their links so you'll be able to load them. For example: Amulet.
Hunger mechanic is annoying because food is not guaranteed. Three times in a row I didn't get any food and lost because of it not appearing on any floors...
It might be cool if there are more kinds of mechanic to relieve hunger in compensate of some other resources. e.g. spells that converting damage this turn into minus hunger points
Great idea, I did multiple runs. I like the card effects very much. It needs a little bit of polishment and it's very fun experience :) keep up the great work.
+ fun simple concept
+ art
- effects are not transparent (until you read to use shift+click)
- not enough food (I would suggest to always generate 1 food per floor or smth)
Also, with Shift-Click on the hero's avatar, you should give the differences between the classes. I discovered that I do 2 damages with no weapons, with the Monk. In-game infos (like mini tutorial or info-balloons) are so useful and "modern", while separate instructions or random discoveries are not, imho.
EDIT: mmm... no, I'm probably wrong about the Monk. But I can bet I see it doing 2 damages when I clicked on low rank enemies...
Yes, the Monk does 2 points of damages unarmed, but only when no armour is equipped.
It was proposed to implement an alternative way for getting info - by dragging a card onto a special place (like with "X", but marked with "?" or something). That would be more discoverable and what's even important, usable on mobiles.
Man, you absolutely need to put the info about Shift-Click more visible. It's really useful for spells, and I discovered by chance. Awesome mini game, however.
PS: I did it! Lvl.12, with the Warrior, after about 10 tries. Used at best both Food and Heal (while Starving), learnt about the Spells so I used them at best. Probably the winning chances are good as they are, 'cause of course you don't have to win EVERY time.
Not bad! Enjoyable! The player is maybe a bit too much in the hand of randomness, even for a roguelike. Also, it's anti-climatic that the most frequent death is by starvation -- it's not just that many of these deaths are unfair (the game just did't give you enough food): even as for "unfair" deaths go, they should better be more often by violence: hunger is just not too exciting.
I kind of like how hunger works here, it is very harsh. But yeah, it is anti-climatic. Maybe I should rebrand it into something more sinister - a curse or corruption...
Or give us more food. There is no stategy involved in not finding food. If you just rebrand it, it's still anti-climactic. I'm sure everybody would prefer to just not have to worry about food as much, though keep the mechanic intact. Otherwise, fun game!
I agree with watabou in this situation, the game is set in a dungeon, something meant to kill you, and if it wasn't harsh whatsoever it doesn't feel very dungeon-y. Anyways, yes, there is strategy involved with the hunger system as you have to manage what you want to take on to the next level of the dungeon, such as you could take that charm card or glaive, but instead it might be a better choice to stack up on food lying about in case there is a lack of it ahead.
In my experience (about 10 tries,) I have literally only died from food. I pick up any food I can and use it only when I absolutely must. I don't know if I'm just unlucky, but there seems to just be not enough food. Either way I personally found it getting old and unfair. Like I said it's a great game, but for me this kinda made me lose interest. I'm not saying it should be easier, but I feel like in a dungeon game,I should die from traps or monsters at least half the time.
Sounds like you're just getting very unlucky, and on a side note chances are monsters and traps aided in your starvation based death by lowering your health.
Well, I found you by searching city maps for my RPG, and discovered my favorite indie game developer! Actually I love Pixel Dungeon since 2018 and now this, a really nice card game, certainly roguelike on the better way.
My single complain is over the low spawn of Food cards, this is kinda frustrating, but I understand the concept, the game pretends to be hard.
Now I should say... Have you ever thought about turning this on a physical card game, printing deck and stuff? I am sure it could be sucesfull and a lot more accessful.
Imagine a party, rushing through the dungeons randomly shuffled by their own hands!
Think about it, its a unique concept, a marry between classic role-playing and cards.
aside from my response below, i wanted to say that your game really catch most of the things i fond essential to roguelikes (aside from, probably, identification). it is certainly leaves better impression than card roguelikes with no map that lack tangibility or roguepuzzles that usually have more stuff but less... i dunno how it put in words... tightness? think dungelot. basically youve managed to land in a sweetspot. for the jam entry its just perfect.
i have one minor suggestion. after finding amulet (or what the goal card is... sorry, no shift-clicking for a phone, as i said!) on a lower level, it would be nice of there were an option to delve deeper with a couple more stages, with the guaranteed amulet in the second (or maybe third) one. it may not really have a purpose without scoring, but sometimes you just want to test your hand, yaknow?
ah, just got an idea for the ingame help. similar to [x] mark to the right, you could add [?] mark to the left (and even on the starting screen really). clicking it would display "Drag card here to learn about its properties. (You can also Shift-Click card to reveal the description)x and dragging card there would work as shift-click currently. that shurely would be more obvious for new players.
I had plans to expand the game, to add different environments with slightly different monsters (enchanted woods, sewers etc) and some other features to make it work as a real game. It's put on hold atm.
This is a really good idea with dragging a card to special place on the board to get info about it. I'll try to implement it next when I get to the game 👍
Thanks a lot for this little gem!! I discovered the game last year and I´ve playing it for many many months. really nice for casual players that does not have time to play a long in time game.
I would like to request you a downloadble version, because even in 2019 there are people that does not have internet conection everywhere to play online.
Best regards and million thanks for this great game ;)
p.s.- Im also planing to create the game with pieces of paper to play when I dont have internet or a computer available. really will be fun translate the game to the paper and pencil version ;)

Have you ever died of starvation while picking card with food? :D
"Auuugh I'm so huuungry! I-if - only I could-"
*touches cooked chicken leg*
*dies of starvation*
XD
5 of a kind!!
does anyone know if you can modify stats with the inspector tool?
Hard, but real. For example: if remove "if" in patientrogue.js on line 4741 you can set new armor any time.

Great game mechanics and graphics.
Super fun!
my favourite one is warlock. yep im a wierdo (heal=best spell)
This is really fucking good, with enough spit and polish I think this would sell really well as a more indepth and complete game.
I love this game. Best for supporting procrastination XD
And sometimes, game wants you to be Meatapod :D
bro I'm dying 🤣
Lack of food ruins it :(
Hunger mechanic is annoying because food is not guaranteed. Three times in a row I didn't get any food and lost because of it not appearing on any floors...
after reading this comment i think they should nerf heal

This a really neat idea! I had a great time playing even if I just sucked too much in this game XD
what are the benefits of each class
https://itch.io/post/658854
bro that's so cool, thanks so much, imma start playing a bit more with monk, also, is fighter a neutral?
Neutral? More like default. For the simple reason of being implemented first.
This is really cool! I've been playing it for a while now
fun!
feels nice, did a few tries with fighter and completed it
soooooo nice, can't show image cause it wont let me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
simply great, all my friends liked it and i find it nice
Great idea, I did multiple runs. I like the card effects very much. It needs a little bit of polishment and it's very fun experience :) keep up the great work.

Very well put together and simple. Love it.
...and again, after a couple of tries, with the Warlock! ❤

EDIT: mmm... no, I'm probably wrong about the Monk. But I can bet I see it doing 2 damages when I clicked on low rank enemies...
Et voilà. Other 5 or so tries, and the Monk is done too! Very nice game, again
.
Cheers!
Yes, the Monk does 2 points of damages unarmed, but only when no armour is equipped.

Автор что програмер каперов
бля я дальше третьего уровня не двигаюсь. че так еборит то
this game is incredible! thank you for sharing.
My only wish is to be able to download it so I can play it offline on my phone.
It's hard not to starve to death, but otherwise it's a compelling game.
i am dying of hunger more or less 100% of the time
you need to increase the chance of finding food and its a perfect game
Super fun! I just had to binge it until I made it to level 12 haha.
Thank you for this fun game! <3
can you add the 'Mute' command?
nice game. I play it every day since a couple of years. Love it very much.
Anyone else noticed that almost all the sound effects are the same as in Pixel Dungeon?
The number of times I've had to scramble to mute my phone late at night as that gong sounds!
Not bad! Enjoyable!

Sounds like you're just getting very unlucky, and on a side note chances are monsters and traps aided in your starvation based death by lowering your health.
If food had multiple uses (i.e. use it for powering spells or feeding yourself), it'd add a nice risk vs. reward element.
I tried several games from previous 7DRL jams and this is one of the few that I genuinely enjoyed! Congratulations!
Quite the nice experience!

Thank you! I will probably try something like this as my interests shift towards tabletop games lately :)
Very nice and fun!
