I got a lot of fun playing this game. I think it is too easy. The \u200bbeams of light \u200bshould target approximately the player because I was just standing in a corner to avoid damages. Same for the laser that never touch me. Slam attacks are a good idea, but maybe you should increase the size of his hand ? The idea of put a yellow circle to show that Thoth is invicible is good, but it diseapear during the beams of light phase so I thought I could attack it but it seems not. The music was funny, but not very appropriate I think.\u200b The little mobs are good.\u200b The idea of mixing a black jack game with an action game is very great, and moreover the gameplay stays very intuitive ! (Maybe add a menu to pause or quit without alt+f4 ? :p) I like the 3D model of thoth ;) Congratulation for your game, and keep creating games !"},{"author_name":"MrBrenan","author_uid":"31660","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 9:24am","epoch":1472548740,"text":"really a great game on the concept, the game is fun and the graphic are good, I have nothing to say about the music, not bad, fun, but it give a strange ambiance. On the gameplay, the boss attack are too easy to avoid (maybe the slam attack coul have an impact effect, the fire beam having a random path, etc), and the spawn of the minion could be capped at a certain amount (and maybe having some other minions to beat). \rBut otherwise, really a great job :)"},{"author_name":"brunurd","author_uid":"60797","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 10:29am","epoch":1472552640,"text":"I tried to play, but the game freeze in the info screen, I believe it happens because your canvas do not scale with the screen and it hide the buttons."},{"author_name":"Lojchin","author_uid":"112366","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 10:37am","epoch":1472553120,"text":"Very good game!"},{"author_name":"mvasko2","author_uid":"111509","time":"Aug 30, 2016 @ 10:44am","epoch":1472553540,"text":"I love the concept, and it's really fun to play, good job! I took me a moment to understand what I was supposed to do, but I enjoyed the hell out of it once I did.\r\rOne thing I noticed though, which I'm not sure is intentional (maybe I did something wrong) - sometimes the cards kept coming way too fast and I just couldn't press E in time to hold.

If you were to persue this further I'd reform the ui as it is a bit confusing to manage enemies and the attacks weren't hard to dodge.

You must kill Thoth's minions to draw additional cards to your hands. If your hand's value goes over 21 then that hand has BUST and will be disabled. This will automatically move your current hand to the next hand of cards. \r\n\r\nYou can press E to HOLD a hand which will prevent cards from being added to that hand and will switch to the next hand of cards. Once all 3 hands have either been BUST or HELD then the hands that you HELD will be compared to Thoth's. All hands that are higher in value than Thoth's cause additional benefits for the player. \r\n\r\nThoth is invulnerable until the hands have been revealed.\r\n\r\nIf you have 0 winning hands then Thoth will rain down beams of light at random locations which you would need to avoid. \r\nIf you have 1 winning hand then Thoth will shoot a laser from his crown in a horizontal motion, you also deal 5 times damage to it. \r\nIf you have 2 winning hands then Thoth will do a series of slam attacks in front of it, you also deal 10 times damage to it.\r\nIf you have 3 winning hands then Thoth will be stunned for a short duration allowing you free reign to attack it, you also deal 20 times damage to it.\u200b\r\n\r\nEDIT: Re-updated so that the UI scales with screen!\r\n\r\nBrought to you by Ouroboros Games Studio.","title":"Faro"}
