I am really enjoying
I am really enjoying exploring this mall world! But the game seems to softlock in the scorpions fight in the shoe store after D. Scorpion uses breath on itself. Nothing is happening and I cannot click on my deck or on "pass".
I think I finished it!
I think I finished it! This game is really cute! I love the characters and world and I like that the rules of the card game (like the effects of the different moves and stats) are left as a mystery. There was some fun strategy in the deckbuilding too.
Also, I think the softlock I mention doesn't happen every time D. Scorpion uses breath, but only when it uses breath and the other two scorpions die from it, or something? In case that helps you find the problem.
it helps!! it's fixed now
it helps!! it's fixed now hopefully, thank you sylvie!! and glad you enjoyed it!
This was great. Loved what
This was great. Loved what you did with the wishlist. I could see this one working in an expanded form as you said. Just to mention - I had a couple of false starts with cards being offscreen until I figured out what resolution I should be using.
That was great! Boss
That was great! Boss destrooooyyeed! I have so many thoughts about this!
I was worried that my list was too ambitious (especially since I always ask for complicated stuff and didn't get games the last two years haha), so not only was I amazed that you programmed a TCG in such a short time, but you got the rest of the list as well!
I really like how the card game is *just* complicated enough to trigger all the dopamine hits associated with the genre (topdecking the card you need, building a stronger deck, etc), but still simple enough to be feasible to make in a month.
I'm also impressed by how clearly the game teaches itself with absolutely zero overt tutorialization. I admittedly still have no idea what the Crystal Pepsi does, or why you'd ever use breath, but otherwise, I felt like I totally understood what was going on. Having an opponent like Mopey that acts as simple knowledge test (do you know how ghosts work) was a clever way to teach the player a mechanic without explaining it outright.
Being defeated by your boss in the card game, but without it being a scripted cutscene, was a super smart way to start the game. And the penultimate card fight against him had the right amount of tension. Beatable (evidently), but I wasn't sure I was able to do it until the turn I did (those babies are a menace).
I loved the mall world and its inhabitants! esp Dracula.
I'm excited to see what else you add to this! Thanks again for making it!
im so glad you enjoyed it!
im so glad you enjoyed it! it was sorta hard to make but also really fun! i've been meaning to do more rpg-ish stuff in unity so it was great for learning too! right now i want to add a second floor (with a different screen color wow) and also animations which hopefully will make the game more readable and let me implement more complicated abilites and stuff, we'll see if i can make that work haha

Love the game, interesting mechanics.
For a card game it really doesn't explain the card interactions at all, but they still make sense if you look at the board state, so that's a good thing.
I wish I could fight the friendly scorpions but it crashed both times I tried.
The boss is very hard -- hah, if you have a bad deck!!!

I never thought I'd hear the backstreet boys convincingly work as an RPG battle theme.
I need to upgrade my cards but I can only find a shop selling scorpions. Then I sold him all my scorpions by mistake. Thinking I missed something in the mall somewhere.... I love all the character sprites and just the general feeling the whole thing gives me. Has that feeling of closing time at a mall.
