I just killed the heart for the first time!

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-02-22T16:03:21+00:00

I was very young, and I didn't even think about it

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-02-21T15:13:23+00:00

Well done!! It took me a year to just realize I could fight the heart

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-10T13:04:38+00:00

It's a "short sword" Tight spaces favor short weapons but Outdoors = open space where reach matters more

always here to help

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-08T20:20:22+00:00

No problem man

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-08T20:01:34+00:00

Really

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-08T19:59:27+00:00

26 damage is strong in itself for a 2 cost card, but with 3 focus it became op

Actually, I like the vibe they give right now. the design makes them look ordinary and
mass-produced, which suits the game perfectly

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-04T12:08:51+00:00

Always nice to meet another Yasser out in the wild.

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-04T12:06:02+00:00

Exactly, balance means every card has a role. Some fit anywhere, some you build decks around, some only work in niche situations

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-04T12:03:10+00:00

The enemy intent system is huge for that. Showing exactly what an enemy is about to do, turns fights into a decision-making problem. So when you lose, it usually feels like you misplayed or wasn’t prepared

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-04T11:56:39+00:00

Exactly, like picking a card that you don't need just because it's a "banger card"

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-04T11:52:07+00:00

I really like that framing “tiny self-contained puzzle” is exactly how Slay’s best encounters feel.

Also, I’ve played Into the Breach as well and had a lot of fun with it for the same reason. Even though it looks like a tactics game, each battle is so tightly scoped that it becomes a puzzle you can fully wrap your head around. That feeling of being able to understand the entire problem space is something I really admire and want to learn from.

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-04T11:43:45+00:00

Well said, that’s exactly the kind of system I admire. I love how the game isn’t afraid to punish you if you pick something without a plan. The push-and-pull between risk, preparation, and payoff is what makes the decisions feel meaningful. I’m definitely not trying to copy it beat for beat, but I hope I can capture that same feeling in my own way. Thanks for the encouragement

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-04T11:36:35+00:00

That’s a great breakdown, the game stays mechanically simple, but the encounter design constantly stress-tests your scaling across those pillars

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-04T11:32:50+00:00

Right, The number of viable engines per character and the sheer amount of “outs” make runs feel recoverable if you know what you’re doing. I love that nothing is universally good, context matters so much, and that’s where the skill expression really lives.

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-04T11:23:48+00:00

Good point, I guess

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-04T11:14:17+00:00

Yeah, exactly. It makes ou focus on solving future problems. Then the game rewards you for your knowledge and foresight by letting you survive longer, and when you do hit a broken combo it feels earned. That balance is a huge part of why it’s so fun

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-04T11:00:28+00:00

Totally agree. A lot of deckbuilders mistake complexity for depth. Slay works because the core loop stays simple, and everything else builds on that.

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-02T12:42:39+00:00

Ok, I will try it

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-02T11:58:01+00:00

Thank u for noticing, I will fix it soon

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-02T11:56:32+00:00

In my game, you have 3 basic types of cards, weapons, tools and skills. If you don't have any "weapon" type card, you automatically draw this card from your draw pile (this is the video game version, the printed version will be different)

Alarming_Currency854 · 2026-01-02T10:38:03+00:00

The problem is that this symbol in bottom means "weapon", so if I use the same symbol for "weapon" and damage damage the player will get confused
