Rotting Cards

A submission for the Stop Killing Games Community Jam.

End life plan
It will stay downloadable on itch once the jam is over.

Transparency note
Everything in the game is done during the jam including the art and the code.

How it fits the theme of "Limited Lifetime"?
All resources in the game decay over time including the player's health (represented by the Life Cards). You will need to plan and manage the cards so that you can overcome the obstacles in your path. 

Goal
The goal is to try to survive as many days as possible while managing a deck of cards that is always degrading (except one specific type of card). There is no ending to the game.

Gameplay Loop
The gameplay loop involves four stages: event -> preparation -> combat -> preparation -> all cards in the deck will degrade and lose 1 hp -> next day and the loop continues.

Event
During this stage, a random event will be triggered. Except for events offering you free rewards, participation is optional. 
To skip the event and proceed to the next stage, press the "proceed" button on the top left.
To engage with the event, click on one of the cards in your hand then click on the event card. The selected card will lose 1 HP.

Preparation
During this stage, you can maintain and manage your deck. You can proceed to the next stage anytime by pressing the "proceed" button.
Use the mouse wheel to scroll between the rows of cards in your deck.
Use LMB to select a card in the current row. Press the LMB again at another card to repair/combine certain cards.

Recipes
Brine + Veggies = Pickled Veggies
Brine + Olives = Cured Olives
Rot Bottle + Grapes = Wine
Rot Bottle + Meat = Bottled Meat

Interactions
Life Card + <Any Weapon Card> = Life Card HP -1, Weapon Card HP +1
<Any Food Card> + <Any Weapon Card> = Food Card Destroyed, Weapon Card HP + Food Card Recovery Stat

Combat
The combat turn order is fixed: Player -> Enemy.

Player Turn
During your turn, 3 cards from your deck is drawn.
You can use any number of cards in your hand.
Any card played will be discarded temporarily in the discard pile. When your deck is empty, the cards from the discard pile will return to the deck. The deck will then be reshuffled.
To attack the enemy, click on a Weapon Card then click on the Enemy Card. The card will lose 1 HP. Once the card's HP reaches 0, it is permanently destroyed.
Once you are done, press the "end turn" button on the top left. 

Enemy Turn
The enemy will perform an attack that you must endure by selecting one of the Life Cards in your deck. Click on the Life Card you want to tank the damage with then click on the Enemy Attack Card.

Damage Types
You may have notice the various symbols on the Enemy Cards and Weapon Cards. The symbol represent a specific damage type.


Damage Modifiers
On the Enemy Cards, the number above the symbol represent the damage modifier when the enemy is hurt by the corresponding damage type.
For example, if I attack the bandit using the bow, the damage dealt to the bandit will be 2 * 1.50 = 3.
