How does the game fit the theme?
You risk by playing a roguelike BlackJack inspired card game against Pythia in Delphi with several upgrade powers!
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Art, Animations, Code, and Game Design by me :D
Sounds from FreeSound

everything is hella well made ^ ^, of course rogue like card games are always fun (take it from a balatro addict)
haha thank you so much!
Neat game! I wish the ui was a little tighter (such as having the number of scrys left by the scry button) but over all a great experience.
You are right I will keep that in mind!
Rated yours, here's mine: https://itch.freezing.top/jam/brackeys-14/rate/3851574
Cool artstyle! I like it! Good job! :)
Thanks a lot!
I like the idea of turning black jack into a roguelike. Very good visuals and ambiance. Could not figure out how to win past 3 rounds in a row; I guess the house always wins haha
hahaha thank you so much! In the next update with many more powerups it will be easier to get past 3 rounds!
The game was cool, and it was very strange to me that it was made by one person. It was well polished. You should put a trailer of the gameplay on YouTube.
Thank you so much I really appreciate it! A short devlog video will be upladed today!
A really fun and creative twist on blackjack! I know it’s supposed to be one of the fairest casino games, but I still ended up losing more often than winning 😅 Still, I had a great time playing!
I did notice a couple of small issues: when the dealer drew two identical cards it looked a bit buggy, and when I finally got a Zeus power, the game froze :(
Overall a great game that I enjoyed!
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed it.
I will look into that issues!
Really enjoyed this! I wish the dealer would react to certain actions since they are the only face on screen at all times. You could really go ham on the VFX and SFX since there are limited actions and elements on screen.
Thanks for the feedback you are right! Ther was no timr for animations but I already created them for the next version of the game!
I love the aesthetics and roguelike elements. Even though I'm not a big fan of cards I still had some fun thanks to the additional mechanics. I do think you could try to make wilder powers and upgrades that jump out of the limits of cards and make the gameplay more exciting, but that can be expanded later. Kudos on creating all of these solo.
I don't play a lot of card games, so the concept was difficult to wrap my head around. But I wanted to rate the project because I thought the art, animation, audio and overall production was great!
Very much appreciated! Thanks!
The art and animations look really nice! Great game!
Thanks a lot!
love the visuals and blackjack implementation (i did blackjack for our game). Advice: now your game has 2 fullscreen buttons, one of which is fake, try some other settings on itch/engine.
Thank you very much! You are right I just noticed the 2 fullscreen btns..I will look into it!
The aesthetic is very pretty. The game is smooth and fun to play.
Thanks a lot!
I was cursing that dealer soooo hard.. which is a sign that I've formed an emotional connection with the game. Simple, straight forward, and the music adds something very Balatro-esq that is almost hypnotizing. Honestly, awesome work. this feels like it could mature to a full game and sell nicely on steam
Thank you very much! The plan is definitely to continue development and yes why not Steam
Damn this is good ! i really love the greek aesthetic and the satisfying SFX
Thank you so much!
a very cool blackjack game with a fun twist! > v<
Thanks a lot!
Visuals really fit the theme you were going for, and feels like a simple and solid game!
Thank you very much!
Nice version of blackjack! Same as some of these other comments I wasn't sure what shoe and burn were but it felt really polished with the sound effects you used and the visuals!
Thank you!! I will try to include a tutorial and an info panel for all terms and needed knowledge!
Nice way to change up blackjack by making it into a roguelike and fitting the theme more. To improve, you could explain what shoe reshuffle and burn mean
Thank you! Indeed these terms are more for veterans lol. Will all be available in the updates!
Amazing atmosphere, adding the powers and scry really added to the enjoyment of the game amazing job!
Glad you liked it!
