Idea: If you'll make more difficulties, here's an surprise for final and hardest. I care to explain: [HOST] after losing won't give up and will pull out axe, then will try to kill player, and here's mini-mechanic: In short key mash section idk, here's concept, and yeah i'm maining pixelart :pNeeded explanation? Sure!
In short [HOST] got pissed off and using his axe to kill ya. Highlighted button it the one you need to press, it's repeating in Tic-Tac sequence, aka Q-E-Q-E, upper bar shows up how much you mashing... or hp ig, in short get this high enough or [HOST] will... i dunno, maybe will try to kill you with much more force, so it'll be much harder :p
ngl i think fair mode not allowing crowbar stealing actually just makes the game harder since if the host gets a crowbar you cant use arson or fire extinguisher anymore because he will steal it instantly next turn. instead of being able to rob the hosts crowbar to stop this like in normal you just need to scrap 50% of the tools you get lmao
both you and the host die (or live i guess but thats boring) if the only possible move for both players is burning their own tower AND both have an extinguisher and a gas can
So glad to see the progression of this game! Haven't had a chance to play it since the jam. It looks like you've done some amazing work on it since! Can't wait to re-play it now!! :D Great work!
Sound and visuals were atmospheric and immersive and there’s genuine tension towards the endgame. Full marks on presentation.
But… I do feel like success is very much dependent on luck: what your board looks like and what utilities you get. I understand that it’s The Point, some desperate death game that’s rigged against you. But that also means I didn’t really feel like playing it more than twice once I “got” the winning strat.
I think it’s a wonderful demo and I’m glad you’re still responding and shitposting down here in the comment section. I just think it needs a bit more complexity and replay value :)
man it's so good, at the end of the match I felt a lump in my throat, I was very tense, even my heart was distressed. Thank you so much for this, I loved it so much, thanks
and heres a theory for everyone.i think we ARE the dealer from buckshot roulette or the guy you go against with is him.nash.i know that we are dealer from buckshot roulette.anyone agree with me?
beautiful game. art style is great and you can tell a lot of work went into both the balancing and the mechanics itself - stellar job, especially for a gama jam piece. real nice
yea i agree. i kinda put more effort into the bad endings since i figured that ppl were gonna see those more. hopefully the addition of unlockable modes in the full release helps with this.
while that would be cool, I've no idea how multiplayer will work on that if i do a mobile port. would probably have to figure out how to create/join lobbies without steams help. would probably cost me too.
Beat the easy mode in one go. For the normal mode, 5 times. Extremely fun game. Just thinking…wouldn’t it has even more dynamic if the axe can eliminate opponent’s card?
I sort of figured that coming back to Arsonate would be like when I came back to Buckshot, I'd play again, and manage to win. But man, the Host is MUCH more difficult than the Dealer is! The game has been updated and added a "graveyard" for the cards, and updated the "Fair" gameplay, but I played normal again so I can't speak for the "Fair" difficulty. Now if you can count cards, maybe you'll have better luck with this update, personally I can't, but I did manage to get closer to beating the Host!
I will come back to the game again, I still haven't defeated the Host, and I am determined to see the rest of the game! Thoroughly enjoy it even if I haven't beat it yet!

I won without realizing it, the game is too easy on normal. I was also called a pity

also unless im unlucky i think the host cant get extinguisher or arson while you have a crowbar which is mean :(
oh i won, yippee
silly lil idea for an ending:
both you and the host die (or live i guess but thats boring) if the only possible move for both players is burning their own tower AND both have an extinguisher and a gas can
i think ive pretty much figured out the AI ngl
pyro? what are you doing here?
-engineer tf2
"mhrphprhhr!"
oh ma gad ambatukaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam

this is true
that was amazing. you guys did amazing!!
thanks!
Wow, amazing game, wishlisted the full version
thanks very much appreciated. 🙏
Pretty decent for a demo.
thanks!
i have an idea for a secret ending. it happens if you discard the key.
lmao
man it's so good, at the end of the match I felt a lump in my throat, I was very tense, even my heart was distressed. Thank you so much for this, I loved it so much, thanks
thanks for playing!
hope it wasn't too tense lol.
It was tense, but I really loved the game
so uh, i managed to win even if started bad by and the go again cards, but managed to get lucky with the gas cans in the end, good game btw
ggs thanks
the host kinda looks cute teehee
*cutely kills you*
*Dies cuteley* teehee
host kept drawing crowbar out of thin air, that mf stealing my crowbar every fucking time
he's just a lil quirky

>Me trying to make you explode with my mind.
<Nash uses "psychic explosion" ... it wasnt very effective...>
beautiful game. art style is great and you can tell a lot of work went into both the balancing and the mechanics itself - stellar job, especially for a gama jam piece. real nice
Thanks!
*Disclaimer: This demo was built on top of the game jam version which is still available, but definitely not as good.
wish we could view what Host's utilities do
that's fair.
but you'll find out
This was really good! Solid mechanics and atmosphere, and really fun to play!
thanks for playing!
Egg salad Indeed
🥚🥗
it's giving pyro main
he's checking for spies.
buckshot roulette??!????
Its inspired by it.
ripoff roulette :)
/jk
The art? style in this game is fire.
ok, I’ll stop with the fire puns :3
This game is fire 🔥
pun intended
🗣🔥🔥
I will say tense game but the win ending was disappointing imo
Agreed. Should have the host burn to death while struggling or something like that.
or some twist where he doesn't actually have the key so you're stuck forever
yea i agree.
i kinda put more effort into the bad endings since i figured that ppl were gonna see those more.
hopefully the addition of unlockable modes in the full release helps with this.
really cool game, was fun trying again and again to win
thanks for playing!
ye
fun game, can be challenging but winning is possible :)
EXCELLENT ....
EGG SALAD
PLEASE MAKE A MOBILE VERSION ON THE PLAYSTORE THIS IS SO GOOD I WANNA TAKE THIS GAME WITH ME ANYWHERE
while that would be cool,
I've no idea how multiplayer will work on that if i do a mobile port.
would probably have to figure out how to create/join lobbies without steams help.
would probably cost me too.
aww that a shame tbh the ai is very good tho
very nice game reminds of of adventure time
floop the cards.
Beat the easy mode in one go. For the normal mode, 5 times. Extremely fun game. Just thinking…wouldn’t it has even more dynamic if the axe can eliminate opponent’s card?
Will probably have to test that idea.
Good game
ggs
Great and funny game, much potential! good job :) I'll wait the full version
thanks!
