Simple Card Game Concept

This game isn't exactly fleshed out in any way. Which is sorta the point. It was mostly a concept piece to familiarize myself with programming card games.

I do intend to continue this game post-jam with a significant expanse in mechanics. IE I'm cutting the turn based part of the game.

Leaderboard Info

The leaderboard tracks your singular highest damage instance in one processing turn. IE from when your left most card starts processing until the enemy turn starts. This does unfortunately leave out the damage caused by burn effects on enemy turns. There is no RNG though, so there's some mathematical max score that can be reached

Highest score by end of January gets a CFA gift card, leave a comment to claim ur score! (if there are no chick filas in your country you are subject to an equivalent prize)

Max damage is INT32 max on the leaderboard, so in reality its closest to that wins

Controls

Everything is controlled by mouse clicks. To select a card click the card and click confirm To order your card, click a slot and then click another slot and the contents of those two slots will interchange. Everything else is automatic

ETC

This game has a few known bugs. One major one is swapping the first magic missile card to a new slot and leaving that one empty causes a temporary invisible magic missile to stay in its place. Other issues exist too, but that's just gonna have to be okay I think

This game is likely not always winnable, considering card draw RNG. Softlocks are possible where you can't win or lose if the enemy squad has a cleric. But they look cool if you let it loop long enough.

Sometimes losing and restarting doesnt let you click play again. Just refresh the window lol

Oh and lower your volume significantly. I did not create that good of a sfx system. So some things get absurdly loud

Burn effects can crash the game seemingly randomly. No idea why
