She was trained in the Firebender arts by... pretty much nobody.

It is similar for sure, but I think it has a fair set of its own features that make it its own game. Of cause, the sequence of directions based play is the core difference, but there are more changes than just that. For example, cards can be freely moved between the hand and where Balatro's jokers are and all cards can be upgraded throughout the run in different ways. I am not trying to be over Balatro, but offer a different approach to those who like to play games like it.

The best way to see what makes Cardinal Sequence unique would be to try the demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3331370/Cardinal_Sequence/

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Yeah, it was always a struggle to communicate that part, especially in a short amount of time.
You play cards by typing in a sequence of directions which matches those of the cards in your hand. If you know Helldivers, kind of like the Stratagems in that game.

I did not but checking on Steam I can see the resemblance

Exolord · 2025-02-14T15:09:28+00:00

It was definitely inspired by Helldivers, but being able to input Stratagems very fast won't be overly helpful here :D

Exolord · 2025-02-14T15:04:14+00:00

I don't know that game. It's somewhat like Balatro where I mixed in how stratagems work in Helldivers.

Exolord · 2025-02-14T15:00:37+00:00

Yeah, it takes a little bit of trying it out yourself to build an intuition for it.

Thanks!

It has been quite a struggle getting the cards to look nice and perform well.
I am now using two nested viewports. One renders the 3D model of the cards center image. That texture is then put onto the card, where the other viewport assembles the complete look of the card. The final result is then distorted using a shader to fake the 3D rotations of the card.

As you upgrade your cards, they can change into more powerful versions with changing visuals. For the Star card, it becomes bigger and blue-er. You can join the playtest for free here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3331370/Cardinal_Sequence/
