Thanks for the nice comments guys! Means a lot :D
And yes @mrmaico, we thought of the exact same thing to make it multiplayer. Maybe we will expand on it one day ;)

Fun: Whenever I started to get a bit ahead or understood more the game would stop allowing me to play the game in the way it described and would not allow me to cheat during slow motion.
Innovation: Super cool idea and I think very innovative!
Theme: every 10 seconds I can cheat :ballot_box_with_check:
Graphics: Cool pixel art style
Audio: Enjoyed the SFX and music
Humor: Uno but not Uno
Mood: Confused, betrayed, intrigued, acceptance.
Sorry to hear that the game didn’t work for you, that is definitely a bug, but one we haven’t encountered yet. By any chance where you using a touchscreen, as we do know that the game doesn’t play properly with touchscreens.
We are very happy that you liked our game so much.
But sorry, as the Ludum Dare page doesn’t support spoiler tags we don’t want to post the achievement list now as that will spoil it for others, otherwise we would have gladly shared it.
Solid entry overall
I also loved how mixed a turn based card game with a real time mechanic, it was really unique. Kudos!
I liked that there were various ways to cheat other than just getting rid of cards on the stack or drawing extras. And the paper in the corner acting as a sort of achievement list and hint as to various ways to cheat was a good touch.
One thing I would have liked would have to been able to play the cards by just clicking them instead of having to drag them out.
Great job and well deserved 5 stars
Thank you guys so much for your kind words! It means a lot to us!
We see that a few of you suggested to make the cheating time longer. Thanks for telling us! We appreciate the constructive feedback. Will definitely tune it in a coming update :D
@paul-nadan Thanks for the feedback! Currently we amplify suspicion for each cheat done, but having a separate penalty for doing the same cheat multiple times is a great idea we'll consider :D
