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!
Love this drawing. Fire extinguisher in the corner is due to be removed sadly. it's a holdover from the jam version that I keep forgetting to remove and replace with a broken fire extinguisher cabinet. I think the final difficulty will be a custom difficulty where you can tune the Host's behavior, change the item pool, or toggle specific rules. Tho this does make me wonder about extending the Hatchet's effects...
sad. i really liked the idea of being able to use that little piece of environment to your advantage, given all the other little interactions you thought about.
maybe in an unfair difficulty you could add other little ways to gain an advantage based on exploiting the environment. i think it's a fun idea that both you and the host are dirty cheaters.
my recommendation is a storyline or something more to add because the game feels a bit hollow, with just beating the arsonate. Try adding a chase scene because im guessing its supposed to be a horror game of sorts? You dont need to take the advice but im pretty excited for when the full version is out. I'm first in line >:)

Wow, amazing game, wishlisted the full version

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
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?
and he just hit me with an axe at the end.is that the game where you become the guy at da end?
yea
is the dealer in this game secretly the dealer from buckshot roulette? pls nash tell me
Day one of asking for multiplayer online
nahh bro come on i'll get to it i swear! 😭
Day two of asking for multiplayer online
:)
Day three of as-
>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!

I appreciate the effort!
I really love this game, I need an update pls.
Guys if u haven´t play it yet I don´t know what u waiting for, it´s amazing!!!
Aquí os dejo mi vídeo en español por si os apetece echarle un vistazo al juego, de verdad recomiendo verlo o jugarlo ^^
Thanks for playing!
concept for a new difficulty.
Love this drawing.
Fire extinguisher in the corner is due to be removed sadly.
it's a holdover from the jam version that I keep forgetting to remove and replace with a broken fire extinguisher cabinet.

i do feel like the hatchet is the weakest item in the game tbh
it is.
it probably needs more uses so at least i dont end up with like three of them at the end of the game even if those new uses arent that good
love this game and u

Try adding a chase scene because im guessing its supposed to be a horror game of sorts? You dont need to take the advice but im pretty excited for when the full version is out. I'm first in line >:)
might add more hidden sequences but who knows.
gotta get the important stuff out of the way first.
thanks for playing!
Great game! please make the demo downloadable on itch.io :)
thx!
Is the downloadable steam version not working for you?
What steam game?
the arsonate demo is available on steam
i tried it out its a good game but the arsonate always gets what he wants its so annoying, the rng
its like buckshot roulette lol
kinda!
I play on mobile, i like this game
Glad to hear that it works!
hear me out on the HOST... :3
bro i love how whenever you win or lose a mode the menu screen changes (not for deaths tho)
Thanks! I thought it'd be neat.
