As fun as always. However, if I might suggest something, I believe that a way to switch to the other path (e.g. switching from Lou's to The Basement,) via an event or some other means. Something no one would think to do for it would be interesting, similarly to upgrading a 13 at the counterfeiter.
Nice game, the art is the best I've seen such as the consistency is solid, the theme is there and the small details such as the cards being used and worn are a nice detail. The animations are fluid, the sounds effects are good, the music fits, the dialog grabs the players interest and the events feel important to the game play. Never thought I'd play a modified version of blackjack against a rat... never thought I'd lose either... Either way, SOLID game, one of the best pixel art games I've played. Nice job.
If they stand early you can just keep re-using the Communism card and play your whole deck (I got stopped because I had a mana four seven seven but other than that you can play your whole deck) could probably do INSANE damage if you have that card that deals damage based of of cards drawn at the end
This shit is actually so fun I might get the game. (Edit: I got the game and it's so much fun. Edit 2: Trying to recreate the cards to potentially see if I can recreate it irl )
i managed to kick bouncers ass by playing a dis-card to discard his foil 21 of spades after he stood. i used to have beef with that stupid man, so lets see if this will work
Hey! Just found the demo on Steam and got the game.
Love at first sight, superfan of the card games references and geek humor.
The game suffers from that top-down design though. Let's take the trap card, its just a card you can use in some situations, but it doesn't synergize with anything.
Now let's say that I can get a relic that says "when you deal damage, gain 5 life", I'm happy to fill my deck with trap cards and win the attrition war.
Could be Pokemon-like badges, stamps, pins or whatever that we collect for persistent effects. That way we keep all the cool cards & humor but introduce more builds & synergies.
La gente dice que es un juego parecido a Balatro, pero ni de cerca, en uno necesitas una calculadora para saber cuando ganaste, aquí solo necesitas saber contar hasta 21 (a veces hasta 22).
Juegazo, apenas tenga 15 pavos los invierto en desarrollar mi ludopatía.
The world-building is impressive, with plenty of depth in both the characters and environments. The game does a great job of blending strategic decision-making with engaging storytelling, which makes every choice feel impactful.
am i bad at this game or does everyone else die fairly quickly but this was really cool! incredible concept, very easy to get into and even easier to hear yourself saying "god i can't believe he used report card" like that's a normal thing to say
can you please add a hard mode with like 3x hp on enemies? when I get a good run it just kills them way too quickly, I want to be able to do things that take a bit of setup.
he aint gonna add that sadly, the game is already fully released to the creator there is no point in adding stuff for the people who play the demo because the entire game is already out with more content and we have to pay for it

The janitor locked my king of hearts and ace of hearts, meaning I start each round with 21
complete a winning run
BOO!!
Is there any way to unlock the nothings/glitched decks in the demo?
goated
the update is amazing
best indie game I've ever played
I HAD ALUCARD DOWN TO 10 AND HE HEALED ALL THE WAY BACK UP TO 52 IN ONE TURN
if you plan on going to the basement, do not use hearts.
Bro, your game is awesome! I search some games click and boom 2 hours run awway

Goated.
There is an event that allows you to swap paths in the full version of the game :D
will it be on Android?
I'm kinda ded
this game is basically the predecessor to balatro
There are a lot of games like balatro, though I don't quite understand what made the difference that that was succesfuul instead.
Just a bit over 21

This is a really fun and addicting game. Always remember: 99% of all gamblers quit before they win big.

Broken chip + Communism = Stupidity

also very good and addictive game

the demo is crazy,but it would be better to put the complete game or almost(more than the demo)
It's a demo, dude. Pay for the game if you want more ;)

the bouncer watching in fear as I draw the devil and get 21 with my remaining clubs:

Card-roguelikes are becoming more popular
No way, bro really ran out of cards
Gambling :)
:)
:)
:D
:)

I would say the only bad thing in this game is the soundtrack being so calm for such an intense blackjack game
blackjack but better
balatro before balatro
I didn't even realize this was older. Dang Balatro is a rip off confirmed
Balatro was released before this game's release date.
e
the demo is older than balatro not its official release date
Oh my bad I guess I'm dumb.
can you please add a hard mode with like 3x hp on enemies? when I get a good run it just kills them way too quickly, I want to be able to do things that take a bit of setup.

Nice game. I like how the end score causes damage to your opponent, gives a nice spin on hit or stand.
