Introduction

Void Cards is a short roguelike card game made as part of the GBjam 9. Sadly I had trouble finishing up the game in time so it's very rough around the edges : many bugs, no sound/music, and many features were cut.

Still, the main element of the game still works, the objective is to take down all pirates in the sector by fighting them in real-time card battles. You can loot cards along the way and battle a small boss at the end.

Controls

A - A Button

Arrow Keys - D-Pad

List of Cards

Cards effect can be a bit hard to understand, here is a list of what each card does:

- Laser : deal 2 damage.

- Cannon : deal 3 damage.

- Fix : Gain 1 armor.

- Shield : Gain 2 armor.

- Clunk : For every armor lost deal 1.

- Dodge : Gain 10% dodge.

- Peck : Gain 30% dodge and deal 1 damage.

- Cobra : If you have at least 80% dodge, deal 7 damage.

- Missile : Deal 2 damage, discard a card from your deck.

Dodge is the likelyhood of an attack missing and armor will block incoming damage.

Death Cards

When you get to the end of your deck, you'll get to choose a death card :

- Slow : Reset enemy dodge, restore your deck.

- Armor-: Your attacks require +1 armor to block.

- Damage: Your attack deal +1 damage.

Closing Thoughts

Even though the game is very rough, you will find that you can use various strategies to beat it. Protip : Aggro > Dodge > Armor > Aggro.

I'll be sure to post an updated post-jam version in the future.
