Hi there! ExplodedKid here!
This is my submission for the 2025 Game Off November GameJam, the topic being Waves. This is also my very first GameJam as well. This project is a rouge-lite (similar to Soul Knight) Your only weapon is a gun, and you have to defeat waves of enemies. After every wave, you get a card. The rarity of the card determines the buffs and debuffs the card will have. Also, in case you couldn't tell, the gradient of some of the card backgrounds used a gradient with a trianular/saw wave repeat method.
The rarities from the most common to the most rare are: Basic Common Uncomon Rare Epic Legendary Mystic Cursed
