This is an amazing game and nothing less than that!
When I was looking around for some bugs I found that when I go to open the card menu, and then start while it’s open, it doesn’t show all of my cards for the character I’m using.
Plus sometimes when I start it either:
1. Puts me straight into a battle
2. Puts me on the map
3. Asks me if I want to accept an artifact
Not sure if this was intentional or not but just wanted to bring that to your attention.
Other than that, absolutely spectacular game!

Wow! This is actually my first time playing Card Delver, and I am blown away. The game actually plays like one of the genre that inspired it, which is a huge achievement in makecode.
Question: is there supposed to be a floor 2? I think I saw some stuff in the code but couldnt access it in game.
Also, Im a game designer at heart so I started thinking:

Ya this part is intentional, I just haven’t made a start yet so it kinda throws you into the game. The inventory should be a pretty simple boolean too. Let me know if you find any bugs that crash the simulator, those are the main concerns I have. For example, the _play next_ and _reroll_ cards have had a long history of breaking the game if you stack too many.

Floor 2 is actually supposed to be the gameplay you see here, I’ve planned a few floor 1 enemies based on the _wood cards_. Each floor is based on the card types.
Floor 1 for wood cards with fire and wood theme introducing Burn status effect
Floor 2 for glass cards with overgrown ruined greenhouse theme with Poison and Weak status effects and Summons (current floor)
Floor 3 for metal cards with a biomechanical theme with spike, burn and weak and lots of summons.
Status effects like burn and poison halving might be a good idea. Non damaging effects like weak and spike work better reducing by 1 though. Because the UI space is so limited, I tried to be as simple as possible with game mechanics so make it less confusing

try visiting alexk with a level 2 power card!

Hmm, well I kind of made glass cards suit this purpose, they are very powerful but can only be used once per battle. A better damage glass card could be added though

This is sooooo peak/awesome, `@Luke`! I was actually wondering if you could help me with art on a game I’m working on (it’s not Silly Brawl).

@mods can you update the top link to the one linked here? The previous project corrupted so I can’t update that share link :(
Quick update on bug fixing and polish
- balancing the character decks
- lots of behind the scenes to make the relic system code cleaner
- fixed damage calculation glitches
- finished relics, except for summon related ones (backpack, puppet and rubber ball)

**Todo:**
- add sfx and effect particles to rest of card actions
- end turn selection issues
- make floor loop again/endlessly
- move fight end code out of a game update block to fix status icon pesisting
- fix starting map
- add better boss rewards with boss relics
- better fight rewards with healing
- healing event
- _?_ specific events

Just beat my first run with Taser! The mechanics took a while to click, but once i evolved the capacity of critical thinking, i absolutely cooked the enemies (like, with actual fire). The stun card is broken!
Also i played on mobile so there were some issues with performance (i dont think its the game’s fault, this was probably made for pc), but overall i really liked this one.
Also extra points for being so peak that sarge himself descends from the heavens to reply.

Stun card is crazy op, I initially added like 5 of them to tasers deck and it was insane lol

Sarge helped me BIG time with the better arrays extension and with block objects, I’m glad he got to see a more finished game 🙂↕️

i just realized that the different characters had different cards. i think the most op is the burn. the burn kills the final boss for me. while i heal for the entire round.

Love it! But I wish the stats on the cards were a little easier to see. I know sprite rotations with extensions obscure images easily, so maybe you could draw your own rotated versions. Small nickpick… Good game.
