Kings Clock

A rogue-like score-chaser inspired by Balatro, built around a clock instead of a poker hand. 

Drag cards from your hand onto the clock face, then spin the hand and watch it tick around the dial. Every card it passes banks CHIPS equal to the cards in that slot. Every card it lands on gets discarded, adds its value to your MULT, and knocks the hand onward by that amount. Chain matching suits or ranks for streak multipliers that snowball with every hit. 

Your score is CHIPS times MULT, so it is never about one big card. It is about the whole spin. Beat each round's target before your spins run out, then cash in the cards left in your deck. Between rounds, visit the shop to rank up your cards (the cost climbs with the rank you are buying) and chase the ultimate goal: turn your entire deck into Kings. 

Push your luck across escalating targets, build outrageous multiplier engines, and crown the clock.

Created for The Very Serious Juniper Dev Game Jam. Theme: Spin to Win.
