Awesome game Watabou :D I feel like it may be just a bit too random though, perhaps make certain items be forced to appear within a certain number of levels? Like food being forced to appear at least every other level, or heal scrolls being found at least every 3 levels, etc.
Nonsense mate. Have kept this as a "side link" at work in the browser and won 3x in a row yday. Like in all rogue-types, learn the mechanics and the RNG in any game becomes meaningless.
There's a fun game in here, but I couldn't quite find it. I'm not much for roguelikes, so take this all with a grain of salt.
I'm pretty consistently in situations where it feels less like I didn't make the best of a bad situation and more like I just had a bad situation. Sometimes I plan poorly, or draw some bad cards, and I learn and adjust how I play, which is good. Other times my run just simply doesn't provide any cards to sate hunger and I starve to an unpreventable death. I'd be interested in playing a version of this game with the hunger mechanic removed.
Without hunger there won't be much left :) I have added some tips to the description, hopefully it will help. But yeah, at its current state this game is pretty luck-based in spite the fact that the deck is always the same...
In my second run get it! another wish item for me is a description for each type of card, BUT BUT I think is way better to discover that yourself you don't need a tutor for playing games you need to play the game and learn by playing it (I love way mega man X handles this "issue" on the very 1st introduction)
I love roguelike games you just keep getting better and better each run (like life itself)
This is super satisfying to play on a touchscreen. The difficulty seems well-balanced -- I played a bunch and won once, which feels about right. Winning was a little anticlimactic, and I agree with the idea of quests (or other structure/variety), but in general this is really impressive and fun.

Won 3 times now, was quite fun :D
Cheers! But I agree that it is too random...

Love card game & roguelike combo! Simple and clever. Pretty hard though! The art style is charming and consistent. Good job!
It took me like 50 tries to finally reach the end.
I also wish you can hover over action cards to understand what they do.
Thank you! I'll try to implement some info for spells as it's a really popular request.
Тяжёлая Доля разработчика...
Можно взглянуть на код?
Может быть потом. Но вообще не на что там особо смотреть - никаких хитростей или специальных алгоритмов...
Уже хочу сделать форк :3
I really enjoy the bold minimalist aesthetic and concise satisfying game play!
you should make this game for mobile phones!!
I probably will. But it also should be playable on mobile as is
Nice game, reminds me a lot of pixel dungeon.
Amazing ! I can feel the spirit of Pixel Dungeon in these cards, haha.
Please, keep making this game better !
Cheers

one of the best things in the itch.io <3
A great little game! Clean mechanics and flow!
amazingly cute little card game. guys you don't need a mobile port, just open this page in browser on your phone you can play it!
Excellent game!! 1st run level 4, how do I know the health of an armor equiped?
Thanks watabou!
When you have armor left, its value is displayed over the hero's health (a shield over a heart).

keepup the good work Watabou!

Near perfect ! Just add a leaderboard and some quest and I can play it forever !
Quests are one of the features I wanted to implement, but didn't have time to add (along with character classes, bosses and others)...
Do you plan any update or you considered the game as finished ? If it's the second choice, can you release the source code ?
I hope to improve it in the future, maybe I'll even try to turn it into a real game at some point.
Simple, but soooo good!
Outstanding. Pixel Dungeon as cards!
That was the plan :)
I'm speechless. If I had a mobile port of this I would probably play the hell out of it. It's simple and addictive
Cheers! It should be playable on mobile, although the layout is not perfect...
I can say it's as good as the Pixel Dungeon. I did not expect less from you. :D
The idea was to make something like a card-based version of PD. It's not even close imo, but I'll try to improve it. Thanks!
