Stamina adds further challenge because you can no longer move the board around endlessly until you get a favorable spot so you have to plan several steps ahead before moving. Nice polished game as expected from this developer. I do miss the upgrade/rpg elements of Card Thief. Maybe in a future update I appreciated the retail version being able to access my progress from the beta.

Damn! I didn’t realize yesterday. I’m in even though I got my hands full with Pascal’s Wager right now. Still hitting that buy button like right now.

If you guys feel like using TiNYTOUCHTALES would be more appropriate in the thread title, let me know and I'll change it. I used Arnold's real name just because his apps are all listed under it on the App Store. You know, without derailing this thread, I noticed I never actually checked out ENYO, thinking it was a free-to-play title. Fixed that just a few minutes ago and purchased the unlock immediately. Absolutely sublime gameplay, yet again. Arn (can I call you that?), I thought Maze Machina was your first foray into the non-card realm, yet little did I know that even back then, whatever genre you touched turns to gold! Also, congrats on being game of the week!

Yeah, ENYO was a 7 Day Roguelike Challenge game as well. Besides card games i regularly work on little roguelike concepts. On my Itch.io page there are a few to play. My latest The Kings Carriage is also quite good for a 1 week game. Ijipop and metalcasket like this. Doug84 Active Member Jun 9, 2014 32 0 6 #16 Doug84, Jan 18, 2020 What exactly is going on in challenge mode? The other modes seem to be better explained in game. This game is awesome by the way!! skoptic Well-Known Member Apr 3, 2015 634 82 28 #17 skoptic, Jan 18, 2020 This is very very good (of course I expected that anyways ). Just wanted to stop by to share the love! Also love the iCloud implementation so whichever device I’m on - it just picks up where I left off (parent’s dream!) Tinytouchtales Well-Known Member Jul 24, 2012 354 17 18 Male Gamedesign Berlin, Germany http://www.tinytouchtales.com #18 Tinytouchtales, Jan 18, 2020 @Doug84 Challenge Mode is basically a multiplayer ELO system. You get matched agains 9 others in each Challenge. So you all play the same seed and then everyone gets rank points based on their performance and the current ELO points of all opponents in this match. You can gain rank points to climb to rank 1 or lose points and descent the rank ladder. Doug84 Active Member Jun 9, 2014 32 0 6 #19 Doug84, Jan 18, 2020 Oh that’s cool! Thanks!

I beta tested Card Crawl and have loved your work since. Just getting into this one and it's got immediate atmosphere and feels like I'm playing something new and different, again. After doing the initial unlocks, I have one minor suggestion. If someone lands on the mystery square, the long-hold help text doesn't describe what the mystery object is / how it works. Once the mystery object is revealed, you could display the new objects help description instead of the mystery description. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
