Game Details

Simultaneous Play

This is a 2-player card fighting game, where players play simultaneously. Players gain more resources to use as the game goes on.

Defend and Attack

In the Defend phase, you play new cards and use shields to buff your existing cards. In the Attack phase, you use your cards and swords to attack the other player and their cards.

Play Online

You play by connecting with another player online. You can also spectate a game that's currently being played, and message each other.

Retrospective

I'm happy with this game, and think it combines the best ideas from Fortress Siege and Territorial March. I like that I was able to find a way to make a game like this simultaneous, and think the 2-phase solution worked out well even if had restrictions I had to design around. I'm also happy with with the new online features I tried out, and think the code I wrote is the best I've ever had so far.
