Pegote

Amazing game, it has depth with the stickers. It feels a bit short and easy to beat though.

Hey Marc! Awesome game tbh, love the DA! How long did it take your team to get to this point? 

Hope it works out for you

Brilliant. And I love that it uses the Spanish deck.
The burning mechanics is important, as you explained in the dev note (https://jvolonte.itch.io/pegote/devlog/1556429/what-is-wrong-with-pegote), and yet it's not entirely clear. I seldom felt that I had really bad cards that I wished to burn, but this is probably just a by-product of my opponents not being very strong in the demo; and yet, if they were stronger the cards acquired from them would be stronger anyway… I'm afraid in most cases the real point of the fire is the collateral effect of stickers like Explosion. But if you placed such a sticker on your card and you kept it's because it's a winning card and I won't be thrilled at burning it…
Hm, OK, the more I talk about this and the deeper it looks! Well done. 

J'ai testé le jeu ainsi que d'autres jeux de cartes dans une vidéo YouTube. Si vous êtes curieux de checker ! ✨

I tried out the game, along with some other card games, in a YouTube video. If you are curious you can check it out ! ✨

This is a card game anyone could enjoy, I mean anyone, It's got the maths, it's got the pick of three, it's got the artstyle. Gonna have to wishlist this just to see what improves because frankly playing twice and winning twice is an show of definitively good game design.

Only small complaint is that AI can place stickers over the card's face value, more annoying when nothing indicates what it might be. I.E. When card is even: give +4

This is a really fun, fresh game! Played it twice, here's a few thoughts:

Like others have mentioned, having an easy way to know which suit a card is would be helpful, like when you hover over the card itself. Although someone else's suggestion of having to manage sticker coverage, a.k.a if you cover something important, oh well, might actually work if done right. 

Love the different sticker synergies, and I like how each character has a different vibe, especially the scaredy cat with his occult/chance stickers. In the full game it'd be cool if you unlock character specific stickers after defeating them, or you can apply a few stickers to any of your cards before the next round.

One random observation....is Baltasar not wearing pants!? Haha. This was really fun, looking forward to the full release. 

Love the gameplay but the longer the game goes on, the harder it is to read some of the cards (what type of card they are and the numbers). By itself it's not the worst thing thing in the world, but I think there's 2 directions you could take this, either making a new feature that gives you the information of the base cards no matter how many stickers are on top, or you could double down on "sticker covers the card's information" as an actual feature.

The former is more player friendly but you can definitely make the latter option work, though I think the burning man sticker (+3, if win: put an on burn sticker on losing card) need to be reworked a bit so that everything is random except the sticker placement, which the player could decide. you could even add a relic feature like many other roguelike that gives you access to all the card's information. (I think the final boss' mechanic is fine(?) even if you chose the latter since they are actively sabotaging you by giving you bad stickers)

I'm really liking this but I have such a hard time telling what suit a card is even before you cover the illustration which makes it completely impossible, i wish the icon for the suit was just next to the number

I'm still confused about each suit :((( Can someone help? I will make sure to playtest soon on steam too :

This is amazing! Love the customizability of the cards and the creepy dialogue. Two suggestions I have:

1. Add a little infocard that lists everything on the card (including suit, rank, and stickers) so you don't have to go through every sticker and guess the suit
2. Add a "stickerdex" that list the stickers you've found

I really love this game! Some accumulated questions and comments (mostly taken straight from notes i wrote while playing):

lost a 30 against ivan's double mirror, which mirrored the new star sticker. do the stickers apply left to right, up to down?? or do stickers with effects relying on the other stickers just get final priority? 

lost a forge card to ivan's double peeper because i didn't realize the odd & even would apply OPPOSITELY after it happened. haha, my mistake.

for the first few playthroughs, actually didn't realize the cards with people on them counted amongst the 'coin / sword / cup / club' categories. Tthis was because a) initial glances didn't make the small objects clear AND b) i tended to place stickers right in the middle, blocking my view of the category of object the person was holding, leading me to assume the people were in their own 'people' category!

cherry can still have effect on the round after being newly transformed into bitten cherry? (opponent draws card with new cherry, adds a sticker, and on the value calculation, the 2x AND 5+ are both added?)

noted that repeat sticker is particularly strong with the dice sticker (happened to get to 870 from a buffed card) and possibly the coin sticker too. 

Final note: was very sad when the demo ended after balthasar; excited to meet sixto in the future!

I've spent so many hours on this thing on the three days since I discovered it. I'm so invested, and I've never been competitive or particularly good at card games. The stickers make it so fun, and the incremental difficulty of each character feels balanced, not like it suddenly got complicated out of nowhere. Waiting excitedly for the full release, and I'll go see if I can beat Baltazar.

Some deeply contented gameplay, a hint of critique ;)

Looking forward to the final product!

Hi !

I made a video where I play your game!

I really enjoyed it and sometimes while I'm at my front desk job and no one's looking I try to sneak in a few rounds hehe!

I hope you like my video and I genuinely love this game!! Everyone should play it at least 8 times!!!

nice!

buenísimo el juego!! estaría bueno si te resaltara el sticker del cual estás viendo el efecto y de que aparezca el número y palo de la carta cuando la ves, porque capaz que se tapa con los stickers y confunde. muy copado :)

Es buenardo, felicidades. Me gustaria que agreguen otros bares o algo asi, o sino que te regalen cosas cada torneo que ganas.Tiene mucho potencial saludos

una porqueria, pense que era el truco y solamente es una copia manaos del truco

This is so good! I just played it straight and somehow won!!! The lore seems to go deep in the full version, will recommend and wishlist for sure!

is the "no one else is at the bar... you won" ending the only one besides the losing screen

GREAT spin on the genre!! Had a lot of fun!

esta bueno pero no se si algunos textos son gpt o los que estan en la desc de steam xd

Alright maybe I'm just too good at card games and math because I beat the thing on my first try fun game though really like the character designs
