Been working on an unlock system for #Solitomb the last few days! A nice mix of design, coding, graphics and UI work 😇
Ways to go still, but happy with this initial stab at a demonic seal that you'll get to break! 🤗

I left little critiques on lots of game trailers so here's a thread with the most common issues (and additional reading) 🧵
1. Don't put logos at the start. It's just dead air that could be gameplay, which is 100000000X more interesting.

I used to laugh before about making the first solitaire game with cover-based mechanics.
Well, today I made it (the first?) solitaire game with an escort mission 😅

Back from holidays and hard at work on Solitomb! 💪
Mostly behind-the-scenes progress in August, but today's thing is quite visible: "environment" cards tied to dungeon locations.
These boulders get in the way quite a bit, but you can also use them to your advantage... 🧠

Happy with the mechanics for the boss battles now, still working out the interface ✏️
Quick question here to help me out: the boss is targeting one of your cards with a move that charges over time. Can you read from this UI how many turns until the card gets hit? 🧐

Prototyping boss fights for Solitomb this week 🛠️
Very WIP sketch, but already plays quite well - whooping the demon's butt feels *so* nice after it's been harassing me throughout the entire run! 😤
Next step: make the mechanics readable to people who aren't me! 😅

Quickly throwing together a new arena so that I actually have room to prototype a boss fight! 😅
For now, just imagine a gigantic demon looming in that black void 👿

After some time deep in the tank, here's a first look at the new Solitomb!
Took a while to get here, but with the visual style set and original #pico8 mechanics reimplemented, I'm now free to expand on the formula ⚒️
Expect more updates as I go 🌞

Just a reminder that Solitomb plays perfectly well on a phone (and even better since the 1.1 update!) 💡
All you have to do is direct your phone's browser to krajzeg.itch.io/solitomb - once the page loads, you don't even need an internet connection anymore 🙈

Just played a very fun Solitomb build focusing on high-ranked cards - something that's much easier to put together with the new post-update abilities 🤗
