Hello, and welcome to my devlog!

Jack of Spades is getting closer to it's final release! The story is complete, so join the party of card heroes and discover what who is behind the monster invasion in the card world!

This update is the last one in terms of gameplay mostly, I still will update some stuff on new game+ and the end screen is not finished in this version, unfortunately.

I will release an extended version of the game with the CHALLENGE MODE very soon! Join the discord server to play the beta: https://discord.gg/yk4kFuP

CHALLENGE MODE sneak peek:

Main features:

• Cutscenes between each world! Bring popcorn!

• New tutorial! The tutorial makes this the best time for new players to join the adventure! The tutorial guy is a bit mean...? I tried to convince him to be nicer, but he just doesn't like his job.
• More dialog in each world. Buy more popcorn!
• The end screen now show your completion percentage. You can only get 100% with new game+, so don't worry about it on the first run!

Balance - Cards:

• ♠1 - Silver Sharp is even sharper! Attack buff increased from 2 to 3, duration increased from 4 to 8.
• ♠4 - Empower: attack buff increased from 1 to 2. Empowerer!
• ♠9 - Ultra Blade: damage increased from 6 to 7. Time to show those Rooks who's boss!

Bug Fixes:
