The Blackjack Knight

Made for Mini Jam 77: Courage with the limitation: "Game cannot take place on earth"

-Won Second Place-

Design, coding, graphics, and minor voice acting by Feather Dreams.

In this adventure, we take a trip into the fantasy world of the kings and queens of the playing cards. Follow the Jack of Hearts on a quest to rescue the King's twin daughters from the fiendish Jack of Spades.

Controls:

• Arrows to move
• Ctrl or Shift to normal attack (draws cards)
• Alt or Space to special attack (defeats enemies if you hand is at least equal)
• Esc to pause
• See in-game tutorial for further details.

If you encounter issues and want to resume from a later stage, press Shift-Alt-P on the title screen for level 2, or Shift-Alt-D for level 3. It is recommended that levels be played in order; this is offered as a safety measure for Jam judging and the like.
