Absolutely loved this game, dev! easily one of the coolest hidden gems ive seen on itch in awhile. I spent a few hours playing after i finished recording and only stopped because I had work in a few hours XD
Genuinely fun and exciting to experience and i highly recommend to anyone who likes deck builders.. you took the idea and made a truly unique experience that ive already told TOO many friends about!
Thanks for making this, really enjoyed my time!
This game was fun and unique! It’s exactly what it Says in the description. Check it out!

JUJUTSUKAISEN REFRENCE?!
holy pillar is an insta win
did you use godot to make this game?
and also, IT IS AWESOME!!!!...PLEASE update it
It's actually made in Unity! Also thank you! There was actually an update this week, but there will be more thanks to you and everyone else who is playing it! :)
really nice, I was really hoping for this project to become a bigger one and maybe see it on steam! that's of course up to you (great game devs sirs!) thank you for your talent
Yeah same here! We would love to return and make our puppet guy do all sorts of new things! Also it's totally possible a steam release is in the cards so stay tuned in! :)
yipe :D
I'll be waiting the good news
Had one of the most unlucky starts to the game.
I proceeded to hit 3 enemies out of 4 cards on the second round as well...
My advice is to not flip over the bad cards. Hope this helps!
i dont understand anything of the lore of the game, i just flip cards, gain money, flip more cards, and see if the puppet moves, i don´t understand it, but i like it so much, it´s funny :D
Money Into Multiplier is a crazy card.
My money overflowed at least three times before finally settling on this number.
I tried to go another round but every single interaction caused a lot of lag.
Totally agree, in fact I pushed a build yesterday that nerfs it a lot (and it's still good!) it seems like you're on the downloaded version so if it again you'll see the new stuff. I know it's kind of a pain downloading random files but if you get the itch desktop app it makes updates a lot easier
yok
I love gambling with my own life
same here, its the best thing in life
very good idea overall
I WIN BITCH
honestly, I've beaten this game multiple times and I love it so much. please continue the development of this game it has so much promise.
thanks for the kind words! we plan to continue developing it. in fact, I just pushed an update this morning! enjoy :)
I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IN THE WORLD I'M SUPPOSED TO DO ALL I KNOW IS THAT I HAVE TO BEAT MY BOSS!! Youtube Link -
Check it out, it's a good game
Wow, a horror game with a creepy children's mascot AND a deckbuilder, how original!
life is a remix, and you can make something "original" by using known quantities. also, just don't play something if you don't want to as "you control the buttons you press".
I didn't play this lol. Are you ten years old?
are you?
I thought it was sarcaism.......welp, nvm
Another baby who doesn't know how to capitalize
Why are you even commenting on something you didn't bother to play?
The game is fun, though I’m confused about the perks but enjoying it so far!
I believe in you!
Oh wow got the escape ending quite fast todday, had a good combo of perks (whenever an eye opens, upgrade all ajacent cards, upgrade money cards in corners when flipped, and flip a money card whenever a column is finished, you gain big money with that real fast)
I only had 7 "minutes" on the clock left, so i was just in time haha!
Nice 😎
Honestly, I loved it!
I had so much fun with this, and definitely gonna play it again!
I could see this being another big game along the lines of buckshot roulette and arsonate. Great job!
Hey you, I'm Ty and I review games sometimes here on itch.
Ok now when it came to this game the reason, I even clicked on it in the first place was because of the thumbnail. The puppet gave me "Hello Puppet" vibes.
The game store page isn't too bad either, more straight forward then some of the other top tier games but not exactly a bad thing.
Now when I started the game I was greeted with disappointment by the gameplay. I cut out alot of me braining my way through what I thought the card game was trying to clue me in on to solve it. At first, I thought it was something like minesweeper giving you clues with the "??" when you hover over cards. Maybe some of the descriptions hint at where to click and where not to click. Honestly, it's just to click a random card. So, stupid and pointless random game that uses cards, smh...
Is what I thought at first but a couple of times through the shop I started to notice that the strats come in when you really play into perk card effects. Basically, the main game depends on the shop to feel like a game.
It's one of the simplest concepts I can think of to use as gameplay, to just click something random but again, I played this for like 2 hours so you can tell me after you play it if it's that straight forward.
The graphics are nice and clean. I like the shop music but it's copyright so be careful of your YouTube vids.
You can easily get crazy amounts of money in this game after you realize how to play to win.
BUG!! DEV FIX PLS
When you exit the game it doesn't actually close and you have to close it from the task manager. I show this at the end of the video
Great game prototype!
Escape? Me? ~ HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
This was really fun to play :)
accidentally broke the game with the eye getting a multiplier of 4649815 but before that i broke the game to giving me more time starting from 00:00 while i got to keep my perk combos and money
never seen the blue chips stack so high
Btw, the mega loan COSTS $99 instead of giving you $99
Thanks for pointing this out, just fixed it!
> Be me
> Start run
> Damn, got enemy on first turn
> Holy, another?
> Repeats, Get down to one life.
> Clear entire board, might as well
> Go into shop
> Lost all my money rerolling
> Go into 10 mg
> Hit eye first turn for no reason
> Hit two enemies in a row.
Do I stop chat? Or is being greedy good?
Quirky! Sinister! Ominous!
fun game, I played 1 game where I got 10000x ++ multiplier and the next card flipped caused my money to flip back to 0, wonderfully broken I find it so funny hahahahahahahaha
