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

Loved the visuals, great work!
Thank you! The whole game is hand drawn
the gameplay is nice,, i would just contasntly lose after 3 rounds XD
If you use the Scry ability wisely you can win round 3 as well :D
I love me a good card game! Well done! The visuals were spot on and the music added a calm but tense atmosphere!
Thanks for the feedback!
Cool game, overall nice visuals and gameplay, good job!
Thanks a lot!
I love card games and roguelike too!
I write some feedbacks, hope they will be useful:
- The lack of a tutorial hits hard. Especially because blackjack is also a game that already has its own rules, and you can't assume that people already know them.
- Picking an upgrade must be more impactful, right now I can't really tell if they help me or not. But that is definitely ok because it is a game jam project!
Anyway great job, the blackjack is definitely the card game that fits better the theme!
Thank you so much for your time! The feedback is really helpful!
True ther is no tutorial at the moment making it harder for non BlackJAck players....for now I think I will write the basics in the game description for a quick reference.
About the upgrades I had no time left to be honest...thruth is they have great impact but its not so obvious. I guess making art for them and an indicator when they are activated should do the trick!
Cool idea! I'm gonna be honest, I love the scry mechanic but idk what burn does or how to make the most of the shoe reshuffle. Am I meant to be counting cards? If you go for a full version I'm going to need a crash course in basic blackjack knowledge 😄
Anyway the core gameplay works well and is well presented. A nice look and appropriate music & sfx. Great work!
Thank you very much for your time and feedback! I updated the page with a general BlackJack tutorial as well as the Roguelike Aspect of it. When hopefully a full version releases all Boons and God Powers (which will be more) will have a longer description and also Tarot cards that represent their power!
Got to tier 5! The art is quite nice but the font is a bit hard to read, especially in the beginning.
I think the whole scry mechanic should be a powerup (it could use a short description).
Good job!
Wow Tier 5 is hard to reach! True the font is how it is but thats Greek font in general I guess...if I find a simpler one I will replace it.
Didn't realize how bad I suck at playing Blackjack, kept letting the dealer win lmao. Also, that fire animation at the back is FIRE lol
Thanks! Well we won't go to the Casino together I guess :D
I was doing well, but the game locked up on a soft 18 vs soft 17 (my favor)
I like the scry mechanic
Thank you very much for the feedback!
Great art and game design, it sounds good too. All I'd really want are more boons/active abilities, but I know you're planning on developing it further so good job.
Thanks! Sure after the Jam there will be updates
Good game idea. Love the art style.
Thanks a lot! Its all handrawn :D
Cool game!
Thanks Justin!
Such an awesome concept and a really impressive implementation for just one week. Hope you'll continue to develop this game after the jam, I think it's a great idea! :)
Thank you! I sure have plans for further development...we will see I guess :D
Love the game idea and the art!
Thaaaanks!
Blackjack rougelike is an epic idea, I'd love to see more boons and mores ways to pull the pull the odds into your favor, like what you did with Scry!
Thanks for the feedback! More Boons and even God Powers besides Zeus are definitely coming soon!
They will all have their exclusive tarot card design in the selection window
It's great! I played for a good while, enjoyed it. Never thought one could turn blackjack into a roguelike but here we are :d The scry button is a cool addition. helps reduce the risk and make the game more tactical in a way. Same with god's boons! Helps a ton.
Thanks for the feedback! Indeed the Scry is a must have addition to help out players win consecutive rounds!
Really neat idea and great execution for the jam's timeframe!
With enough boons and maybe even some deckbuilding it can become a really nice roguelike =D
Thanks a lot! I really wanted to implement like 10 boons but underestimated the time needed so even the ones I have now are without their Tarot Card artwork! Guess it will be the next update
Cool idea. I always stepped to far tbh :D My highscore is 3. Love the "Dealer Wins" Sound tho. Cool Visuals as well.
Thank you! A 3 highscore is not bad...well done :D
Clever reinvention of Blackjack with a strategic roguelike twist, with unique boons and powers in a battle against a mythological oracle. Nice custom-made graphics!
Thank you so much for the feedback! ⚡
Interesting looking game: quite my jam. Sadly I didn't got the powers working because when you win the game freezes. If you manage to get it fixed I would love to play it again
Congrats on the submission!
Thank you so much!
Seems like the error happens because of the WebGL build since in Unity it works fine!
I will look into it asap and let you know!
Fixed! The issue was that WebGL opperates on a single thread and I had some game flows run on multiple threads!
Thank you! I've been enjoining my experience!
