Cleared this on my first run. It was fun. Artwork and theme is unique. Seeing how this ended, it does have the potential of being expanded further.
hey! my game keeps unexpectedly quitting and i cant figure out why! any known issues on mac?
I reccommend playing the browser version if you're having issues on Mac.
Nice
hard but its enjoyable
Incredible game! The gameplay itself was awesome and well-made, and I especially loved figuring out more bits of story from the dialogue!
Got two incredibly easy rules, so my first run was baby. Love the gambling and memory game~
Rule 1: You can't play 2 odd numbers in a rule
Rule 2: You can't play the number of the most recently captured cards.
I love it, would love to see it become a full-fledged game on steam.
Inscription spoiler warning!
Maybe you could take inspiration from the various different acts in inscription?
Thank you! It is unlikely it'll get expanded or published on Steam however
Are you kidding me? This deserves to be on steam!
Thank you, but the situation and process is complicated and it's unlikely to happen
Fire game!
but when it called me brat it reminded me of someone...
Also the "Hmm.. How about no" line made me start another fire
Really cool game and kind of flipped when he said 'brat'
Brat
won on my second try
Very, very cool game!
This could be a really fun game but the rules honestly don't make sense, he kept getting 5 points when i didn't break any rules and he didn't lose any points when he broke the rules.
I do believe thats the point, at a couple points, when he incorrectly pinged me, I could press the bell and he would lose five points, so I think he was "cheating"
Wow, that was an incredibly delightful experience! I applaud whoever may have created this. Not only is the atmosphere pulled off perfectly, but the game itself is also very fun! I really enjoyed it. It wasn't too difficult, but it certainly felt that way with the atmosphere.
Es alto juego recuerdo que en ves de decir mocosa decia tu nombre de usuario pero bueno por algo lo cambiaron
Solamente saca el nombre de usuario en escritorio, en web no se puede
Muchas grasias no lo sabi
I really like the game mechanics! The story is a little empty even en Español, but overall a very fun game! Ustedes hicieron un gran trabajo!
he keeps calling me out on breaking a rule when i didnt??? am i missing something
edit: and literally right after i posted this comment i called him out on breaking a rule and he said he hadnt. he had. is it just my game because i havent seen other people say the same thing
im playing on chrome, desktop version, and in spanish if that even matters
second edit, i think i just misread one of the rules because i replayed once again and didn't have the same issue. you guys did an amazing job with this game, it's great fun <3
Absolutely loved the atmosphere. A very delightful game in a simple format.
beat him second try, he breaks his rules every other turn at least so it is easy to win if you can remember what the rules are.
I found moments where I couldn't play a card without breaking a rule so there should be an option to automatically lose the round and give him a card as points to avoid this. overall though, great game, I enjoyed it.
he literally cheated and broke the rules, and i got 1 and 2 7 times in a row
is there a way to see the art file for this game?
Why?
i changed resolution to max and accidentally turn off full screen mode and now the game is unplayable, redownloading it also doesn't work
Go to "C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\Face Down" and delete "config.json"
Thanks you very much
I gave this a play the other day and made a vidya. It was pretty fun and I definitely enjoyed it. Props to all of you for making it and hope you guys do more awesome games like this!
Hi i want to know if there is a print and play ver or if someone could tellme how many cards are required so ill do it
Bc i dont know how many normal and special cards are
Hello! Any standard deck of cards would suffice, just take out all the cards that aren't 1-9. You could assign each of the suits to one of the special abilities (and one suit to no ability) and you'd be all set!
The game is really awesome. Great sprite art and atmosphere.
Is it his left or ours for the second rule?
Theirs
I won first try 96 vs 100, it was rather fun
I loved this game but I only saw and played it after voting was over I'm kind of sad I couldn't vote this game it's amazing.
Also I won first try
Half a year too late methinks, but thanks anyway! Perhaps leave a regular review?
I am very sorry I was focused on a game jam before this and I don't know why but I thought this was part of the game jam but it wasn't part of the game jam I was doing, once again so very sorry!
"Es la primera vez en mi larga vida que pierdo"
Yo que acabo de ganar por la quinta vez: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
La amnesia es una enfermedad grave, no hay que burlarse de ello :(
HAHAHH! CHUPATELA DEMONIO! Segunda partida y le gané!
¡Mola! Es raro encontrar juegos de cartas interesantes. Tuve suerte con las que me tocaron y logré ganar en la primera partida :D
it does not work on m1 :(

:(
I love the game and the art, also I finally won lol
Thanks!

Cool game! Love the art <3
he lost with 24 points lol
HE SAID TO ME HOW ABT NO XD
the way i easily won was because of how many times he broke the rule of no playing even cards from the left side of YOUR HAND-
mmm nice game
second rule was a bit confusing tho
