Making strategic choices is not the same as making tactical choices.
In many games, you make both strategic as well as tactical choices.
For example, in a game like Warcraft, you define both the strategy (what types of units you will play, where the groups of units go) as well as tactical (what individual units do during a battle, flanking maneuvers, etc.)
In games like this, you take the role solely of a strategist. You guide the overarching strategy of the game, but an actor (in this case a computer program) takes over the tactical play; it makes the moment-to-moment decisions.
I love this game so much!!! My favorite is Carnival Carry, but all of them are super cool and interesting, all the designs are so well thought out, and the MUSIC IS SO COOL!!! SUCH AN AMAZING SOUNDTRACK <3
Whenever I try to play the game, specifically as Country Carl, the game freezes. Whenever its Carl's move, my Carl or the NPC, it always plays the spinning circle of death and then the game becomes unplayable. I am using the MAC version.
I was initially quite frustrated by the fact it played automatically, but actually, it just focuses the gameplay on the deckbuiling aspect of card games (and it's great!)
I'm a big fan of the Weaver's stalling strategies and the super aggressive Henry (managed to 1 turn kill every opponent at the end). It's really nice that every win condition can come up in a clash (except maybe for decking out).
This game was super fun and has tons of replay value!
My only critiques are that you may go up against the same opponents back to back or multiple times. I also managed to get KO'd in 1-3 turns a few times, so maybe there's some balance work to be done? Or I might just suck (the trash meta will work one day!)
Anyway, keep up the good work. I hope this concept gets expanded on in the future.

This game is awesome! Is a great auto battler with a unique disco dancing style! I love it!
My first win. Such an amazing game :)
Congrats on the perfect win

The fact that Carnival Carry is forever doomed to be stuck giving enemies a double cast is hilarious to me. 5/5
This is really fun, well done! :-)
When slay the spire 2?
could you release the source code so that people can mod the game?
feels like another FNF XD

👍
I made a 6:9 boxart for use with Playnite. I have no idea if itch will reduce the quality on this. Also I'm not an artist, I just did my best.
Here's our coverage of this version - looking forward to the full release!!!

my understanding was this was a 1 off game jam game to familiarize with the new engine rather than the new game they mentioned

Really cool game! Everything is so polished!

Good job team!
I love the soundtrack. Would like to contribute to it if you need any more music.
Is there somewhere we can listen to the soundtrack? I love it so much!

Thanks! Baroque Brawl is probably my favorite of the bunch, excellent work!
