Cool, nice to see what is actually going in in the "real" end game, I've never made it that far. Dang, too bad that freezing issue is still somehow reachable. Do you remember what happened prior to freeze at all? Looks like you probably were holding some card that somehow got recycled and hence got stuck trying to place card that doesn't exist. Thought I fixed it already but I guess there is still some way to replicate it.
Also, guess I'll need to do some grouping for the skills icons. It'll look much less obtrusive if all those dupes were stacked under one with a count label or something. Any idea what made those empty spaces appear? Are those some of the two colored skills maybe bugged somehow? Not seeing any of those on the list...
Does it still get too easy even with the enemies and the less open levels?
Correct, the crash occured when I went to place a tile and then tried to put it back (to grab another tile).
It does get a bit easy towards the end, you can end up with so much life that it doesn't really matter if you have to block of large sections of the map.
Maybe a max limit on health might help? It would take a bit to work out the sweet spot for late game difficulty, perhaps around 50
Love this game! So addictive. I also think I've found a bug. If you:
1. Get to an upgrade screen. 2. Click on a "Wildcard" you've acquired previously. 3. It will detect it as a valid "upgrade" when it's not (presumably). 4. Then the following screenshot will show (entire deck is available for selection).
Above bug aside, love this game! The design is addicting and thank you for making it <3
I do think that once you get going its a bit too easy to survive, especially with all the extra life you can get. Also I feel like you get the 4 path tiles way more often than you should, that makes it quite easy to keep going as well.
I'm actually really impressed. You managed to cram these nice-looking graphics and sound effects, a score tracker that shows your score into exponential notation with tons of digits, scoring mechanics that cleverly hide the fact that such insane scores are even possible, and a biting satire of the Catholic Church – one that largely tells its story through gameplay, no less! – all in 13 kilobytes?! 0_0
Each time you place a tile, your little figure guy draws the longest path he can from his current location to the new tile, so as to maximize the points you get from his journey. Normally, when drawing his path, the figure can never step on the same tile more than once per path. However, with "Home", yellow "Indulgence" tiles can be stepped on more than once.
If you have more than one "Indulgence" tile next to each other, "Home" allows your figure to walk back and forth between them to rack up a bunch of points!
I've been noticing that Sin only activates if there are absolutely no more ways to place tiles, which is usually when I have already lost a level. Am I using it incorrectly?
Your pathfinding isn't maximizing the score but the number of step taken , also It take sometimes more than 3 minutes to find the path and I don't even have an absurd amount of bounces .
Yeah couldn't really afford to put too much space for the pathfinding and thought that maxing the steps would be good enough. Will definitely improve on it for the next version without the jam limitations. I guess there is something extra repetitiveness going on if it takes that long. It does go through all possibilities but it should never get that outrageously long.

My game crashed at 67 million and i would have gotten 12th nooooooooo
Edit: Does that mean that this game is technically pay to win due to the game freezing on lower end devices?
How did it crash?
What is sacrifice used for?
Used for getting rid of unwanted cards. Though the drawback of it might be too much and I might need to make it a bit less dangerous.
Made it this far and then it froze :/ loving the game though, I've put way too many hours into this!

les than 20 min of game play
Welp, looks like it's game over now
You won't believe me, Loot Gem + Sacrament Gem and Dynasty Tiles are too OP!
sometimes I keep jumping on them until the boost exponentially increases to x2048
Super simple but gets quite addicting!

this is the highest I got, dynasty is BROKEN if you can get enough in a row
Dynasty is BROKEN, I was able to get enough in a row.
small issue here, when in full screen, your mouse doesn't click where it should.
Fun game! One note though, are you supposed to be able to click on sainthood to just... get infinite lives? I'm assuming not haha
Nope, not intended. Just didn’t occur to me that need to disable those clicks once they get ”iconified”.
That is a neat game !
Casual Crusade Gameplay
lol
26,419 is my high score and I don't care to beat it

I think that is just a visual glitch (I didn’t find a good solution for). Should work just fine if you just place the next tile.
high score 487926 without clicking the gems in the corner to get their bonus again.
heres my heart *gives real heart* OhOHHHHHhH NoNOOo *dies*
this game stinks
Is there a way to download?
yo does anyone know how "home" works?

Nope!
i got softlocked from magna carta and using it WAAAAAY too much
Great game, dont really understand it yet but sort of. Maybe consider adding a tutorial.
I like the lack of tutorial. makes you think
MY GAME CRASHED

:(
The idea is really intresting and fun. Music and art style is great. Nice job, I like it!
Your pathfinding isn't maximizing the score but the number of step taken , also It take sometimes more than 3 minutes to find the path and I don't even have an absurd amount of bounces .
But apart from that your game is really great .

Will definitely improve on it for the next version without the jam limitations. I guess there is something extra repetitiveness going on if it takes that long.

same on my e38 run with healing penance
its not the pathfinding, its the score calculations
This isn't funny. What's funny about "infidels massacred"
The Catholic Church is the butt of the joke here.
hi
Hello kleerf! Hope you're doing well.
why can't i find any chests
im not mad (sainthood is op)
what?
No clue. But the chests stop appearing after certain level.
level 7, I'm lagging with windows 11 but slightly nerfed (I'm, on late windows 10 side for computer) and my browser is edge
3658, I wasn’t paying attention and lost 7 lives at once 💀
Edit: found a bug that lets you get infinite lives soooo
😂
pillage is additive :(
Uhhhhh
nvm
