Well, I ran into some issues this morning with collisions. I’m still not sure what I was doing wrong but I couldn’t get them to work correctly. I ended up just creating a 2D grid for the level and marking the grid with the locations of the objects so that I could detect a collision. This way is actually faster anyways and it works just right! Unfortunately, I wasted like and hour and a half trying to fix the other way before I did this. Oh well.

Here is a GIF of what I have so far:

Here it is:

I’m using GameMaker Studio 2. There are things I really like about it and things that I still hope are improved.

This will be my 4th Ludum Dare and I’m super excited!

Tools:
– GameMaker Studio (Of course!)
– Aseprite (Love it)
– Bfxr
– Audacity

Good luck everyone!

I’ve been working on a post comp version of my game. Here are some of the things going into it

• Bug fixes for tutorial
• Changed mechanic for exceeding the enemy’s defense. You used to take a penalty but now you just can’t do it.
• Added bonus score points for finding a solution early
• Added card combos so you are rewarded with more points by finding ways to use more cards.
• Fixed menu buttons.
• ANDROID BUILD!

I still have a lot I want to improve in this game but it has been an amazing experience so far. Thank you all for the support!

Play it here.

I went outside my comfort zone a bit with this game. I normally like to create fast paced action games with lots of screenshake. This game is a strategy, turn-based, card game that only has a little bit of screenshake (I couldn’t resist). It was a good experience for me and I’m proud of what I was able to do in under 48 hours.

Here is a gif to tempt you into playing it 😉 Enjoy!

Nobody can tell what is going on in this game. Here are the basic rules.

• Your enemies defense grows every turn.
• You can play up to 3 cards each turn.
• If you drop a card on the friendly unit it will gain +attack.
• If you drop a card on the enemy unit it will gain +defense.
• If your attack is = to your enemy’s defense at the end of the turn you will not take a counter attack.
• If you go over your enemies defense during your turn you will loop back around with your attack and take a 2 damage penalty.

Does that make sense? I’ve also started adding other cards but it might not be a good idea because the game is already complicated enough to teach haha. Here is a gif.
