Hey! I'm Radetzky, and I’m writing a weekly blog series on Jamzo about creative ideas from game jams. We featured Rogue Poker in the 2nd week of the series:
https://jamzo.com/blog/game-jam-highlights-2-card-games
We’d also love to feature your game on our twitter account. If you upload your game to Jamzo, we’ll feature it on https://x.com/scrspc?lang=en with a short gameplay clip or GIF, either of your choosing, or we can capture the clip ourselves.
You can upload it here: https://jamzo.com/spotlight?itch=https://balintm.itch.io/roguepoker&ref= (all the info should already be auto-filled in!) Once it’s up, reply with the link and I’ll add it to our promotion queue. It goes without saying, you don't give up any rights to your game by uploading it to our site c:
Lemme know what you think! You can add me on Discord too, my username is akiba_style.
Damage on high hands feels weak. Hitting with 4 of a Kind, Full House, Flush... Barely any damage.
I died on a healing potion.
More random than tactical, but otherwise a fun little addictive game!
This should definitely go mobile!
Victory should give extra coins for life remaining so as to discourage leaving the boss at 1 hp to go run around grabbing coins, probably.
Hello! I loved your game, it was super fun to play despite me not actually winning (though I did come very close!) and the art style was awesome as well as just having such a neat concept! I made a let's play of your game here~
Thanks so much for playing! ❤️
You're most welcome! :)
