Hellscaper

i've checked your creator page and it seems that you've created several games with a theme of magic. what do you actually know about this subject? are you just making it up for your games, or do you think your a neopagan or something? 

This game has been giving me the Tetris effect in my head since I started playing it. It is so addictive and has a ton of potential! I would love to see even more tiles and effects added, even possibly a longer game mode. I find when I beat a game, I'm almost disappointed because I wanted to keep going and see my build pop off in further rounds.

The style and theme is also fun and makes the game that much better and unique, it really adds personality to each tile. It is really fun to try different build synergies and see what combos work well, what I have the most fun with (even if not optimal), and try to get better at builds I struggle with.

Seriously, I'm really enjoying this and every time I close the tab, I find myself reopening it throughout the day to play just oneeee more game!

idea: after completing a city, you get to choose between a selection of passive upgrades

this game is so much fun and there is so much potential here! It would be incredibly interesting if you experimented with different sizes and shapes of the map and you could make like a challenge mode with levels where you have to succeed with a certain deck. I would also absolutely love to see a gamemode that gives you access to all the cards and allows you to experiment with different decks to see what might work. this is a great game with potential to become even greater.

can you add a windows download version?

This game is SO GREAT and I intend to keep coming back to get better - woww I love it!

When transforming oilslick after it's adjacent to blood river, the hellfire's score isn't doubled.

It was such a BLAST playing this game, really, I loved it so much !!! I immediately recommended it to a friend who is a card game/deck building enthousiast. 

The only (really tiny) thing I'm kind of disappointed about is the fact that I wanted to have the possibility to try freely things in the end...? Like having a litteral deck builder at the end where we could try synergies and things like that.

Anyway, 10/10 game, so fun to play, sorry for sharing my tiny disappointment, and most importantly, thank you so much for the creation of that game and all the work poured into it. Awesome game, truly.

this game is really good... I should make a video on it (....bit sure about the unity issue tho)

Sometimes there's an unwanted feature that skips next round if enough points are made in the last move. So yeah, I won!

I was not able to beat the game but I enjoyed the game overall! Liked the game concept, mechanics, and design. Hope this game gets more recognition! 

I managed to get so many points in one play, that I skipped an entire level! Temple can be a funny card lol.

This is really neat! I like the balance between slapping down high-scoring tiles as efficiently as possible, and trying to set up combos even if it means maybe not laying things down as densely as you might otherwise.

It's an interesting concept.

I love the new art, as well as the ability to trash any card from your deck when selecting a new one! Keep the updates coming, this game is a gem.

How about making it responsive? Then it could run on mobiles.

Neat game but how in the world is this a roguelike in any capacity

when you click "win" the cards are not dealt fresh. so you continue playing with the reamining cards from the previous stack. probably not intended.

managed to clutch a win with 79 point "collector" and then a lucky "river" + "vampire" block

Although I did not finish the game, I really enjoyed the multiple playthroughs I had to reach where I'm at! It took me a while but I'm glad to say I have finally reached round 5 once.

I enjoyed finding synergies between different cards and how I can mix and match them in the placement. Still trying to find a strategy to win the game but I really enjoy the buildings deck I made! Had a blast and I am going to continue to try and find a way to win!

Background music sound like something that wouldn't be amiss in Blood. Very reminiscent of Unholy Voices. Very fitting.

Awesome game. Its super fun to play. Too bad I suck.

Legion is too OP with cinders, turn 1 win possibly for the final stage

can be... hard and much rng, i get round 3

Beat it.  Golems are very strong at present, being able to transfer both the #Blood and #Fire tags in chains around the map, while also being very common cards in the purchase phase.  Furthermore, all of the enabling cards they need either start in the player's deck (ghouls, rivers) or are common (Hellfire/oilslick, cinders, Yagahut).  This seems to make them significantly better than 'rarer' cards like Cerberus, Ghost, or Rat King whose enabling cards are either significantly rarer and more expensive or very limited in number and entirely outside the starting deck.  Most of the current drawbacks to golems-- the way points are counted in the final turn of each round before all the points you might expect from golems are fully calculated, the way the triggering order for multi-golem chains in a single block is complex and somewhat intractable (and the same for river conversion, if your golem is dependent on to gain its #Blood tag), the way they don't gain tags when tiles are placed adjacent to them after they have been played-- are mostly only significant penalties because they are unintuitive and unexplained.  It seems like, provided the player is capable of predicting the behaviour of golem tiles and planning accordingly, every deck should include golems, which I think is a sign that they are a problem for balance presently.

Great job designing the playstyle of this game! I love how the cards interact with each other and it isn't hard to find combinations that you personally favor, for me that's definitely Rat/Rat king/River. I'd love to see an algorithm added to allow the game to continue indefinitely, progressively increasing the total required for victory but I understand that at a certain point rats and blood river are the only way to win. A larger board or boards with obstacles could be fun but overall, great game and I look forward to seeing future development if there are plans as such!

My brain isn't big enough for half of this but great game lol

I loved the build variety in such a small game. One bug/nonsensical thing though, the golem adding a fire tag did not work for the cinders 'card' which seems unintentional do to cinders wording, and you might want to check that golem works as intended when it gathers other tags. Loved the game anyway!  

I'll admit up front that deckbuilding games are not always my strong suit.  That said: I do really like this, but I also found it very hard to build a deck, because the card-gaining was slow (and random), but a lot of the cards only work in synergy.  Vampires are only useful when you get a cluster of five of them, so taking one vampire card feels like it's just a waste of space until you get one more.  Werewolves are only useful when you have vampires...and so on.

Of course, it might just be me.

Completion of Game

This was a fun horror strategy card game which involves a lot of thinking and consideration on how to place the cards within 20 moves strategically to beat the game. In the video that I have made above, I did not manage to clear the game but I will be continuing my efforts in completing the game as I really want to beat it XD. Would be cool if there were more sound effects and music, maybe an entire storyline can be created for the game as well to enhance the entire experience as a whole. Moreover, more types of cards and unique artwork for the cards would make the game even more interesting as well.

Thank you for reading my comment and I wish you good luck in your future endeavours.
