Bloodshifter by mar3k
Bloodshifter is a card game with unique mechanics one of which is ability to shapeshift ally minions by giving the HP or attack from the king.
Game contains 22 cards and 3 pre-built decks (chosen at random) and deck builder.
After launching the game there is a simple tutorial picture, please take your time and read it, as it will make it easier for you.
Deck rules:
Deck can contain as much copies as you want
There has to be from 25-45 cards
You start with 4 and can hold up to 7 cards in your hand
Game mechanics:
You win when enemy king is bellow 1HP
To attack enemy king you have to move your minions from your board side to enemy side
King can attack at the start of his turn once (and doesn't take any DMG)
You can shift HP from you king to your minion as many times as is the current turn number
You can shift attack from your king to minions as many times as you want
You can, but don't have to draw a card at the start of your turn (it costs you 1 energy)
Known bugs - NOTE: these bugs were fixed in post compo version:
- Stable portal doesn't reduce the cost of the card
- After finishing first game the next one will be against Feodric (your king)
POST COMPO:
- Stable portal fixed
- After finishing a game the next one will be against CardBot
- "JJ - VapeBot's" effect fades away
Game was built completely in Java (custom engine) on my stream (https://www.twitch.tv/mar3k_e3) and I will upload timelapse of it soon to my YT (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYCsrAV6qFGTh2Lp4nUkLDQ)
Thank you for playing and rating!

Really nice balance in the way you've made this - focusing on the mechanics of the card game while giving a very convincing digital finish. An incredible amount of assets for a compo entry aswell, big well done!
Would love to play a polished version, keep it up!
The art style is wonderful, the performance of the game is incredible, I feel like Im playing something like YuGiOH
Only wish is that there was music, and that the tutorial wasnt so hard to understand, one frame of instruction is a bit bombarding, try to spread it out.
AMAZING :D (And it runs as a .jar)
Can I use this engine for a school project.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
Overall I thought what I got to play was pretty good! Nice Job!
