Joker in disguise by deskimir

Long live the King! Can you become a King?

Joker card disguised himself as Ace and attempts to become a King by killing all ranks in King's army one rank at a time. Use your arrow keys to chase and dodge King's army! See how far up can you go.

This game is my attempt at # 185 Trijam(https://itch.io/jam/trijam-185), my first game making jam. It was suppose to be done in 3 hours, I needed a little more time(around five and a half). Theme was "Kings and Queens".

Sound Effects where created using Chiptone

It seems like the flag of whether a card is the target or not is set when its dropped from the top. If the target changes from 3 to 4 and there is a 4 already on the screen, catching it hurts.

Might I suggest allowing for wasd or at least A and D to be able to move the card around.

Most gamers are used to using those instead of arrow keys to move around and would just feel more natural overall.

It's fun. Seems like a good time waster. I wish it was more apparent when the card on the right changes. Maybe you could add a different sound effect or something for when you level up, so you'll know when it's time to go after different cards.
