Readit NewsI couldn't figure out the Boss fight with cards though. I run out of energy and so I assume my turn is over. But how do I end my turn?
A button guide in the main menu would be helpful.
- "z" plays a card - "x" ends your turn
If one never played deck builders, they probably have no idea what is going on. Thanks for trying it!
Here is a work in progress build:

It is a combination of a shoot-em-up and deck building. You fly and shoot until you get to the boss, when you get your deck out to fight them.
That genre combination is definitely too ambitious, but I think it is fun to play and I’m enjoying making it.
I have a bunch of ideas how to combine the two parts better. But over the years, I’ve learned to control scope creep and actually ship pet projects.
Right now I’m in a middle of changing how enemy waves are spawned. After that I want to make a short tutorial and add two more bosses as well as more enemies.
If you end up playing it, please share your feedback I’ll be glad to hear it.
The game is made using Kaplay, a game dec library which brings me joy to use. I can best describe it as my friend described Pico-8: “easy things are easy”. But compared to Pico-8, Kaplay doesn’t have virtual console limitations and comes with a big library of components. Try it out, the community is small, but the library itself is really fun and easy to use.
EDIT: For context, this is about two weeks of work, in the evenings when my kid is asleep.
As someone who also do interactive articles from time to time, I'm wondering what is the tech stack you are using to make these?
