I Made This Roguelike Card Game in Just 7 Days!

I challenged myself to make a full game for the Playdate in just one week, and the result is Scoundrel! A fantasy dungeon-crawling adventure where monsters take the form of playing card suits. Spades and Clubs lurk in the darkness, while Hearts might just save your life.

In this video, I'll show you some gameplay of the game and just how much fun it is. I would love to hear your feedback on the game!

🔹 Game Features:

Enemies based on playing card suits, from Level 2 to Level 14
Health potions (Hearts) that range from small vials to large bottles
A unique "Run" mechanic using the Playdate crank
A state machine to manage game flow and transitions

🚀 Scoundrel is available NOW -- https://spellthorn.itch.io/scoundrel
