Touch: tap a card in your hand to play it · Keyboard: not required — played entirely by tap/click
About:
Built for js13k 2024 (13KB size limit), Brewing Disaster inverts the usual card-duel formula: instead of racing separate totals, you and an AI wizard share one meter, so the same card can help or hurt you depending which way it's already leaning. Five characters bring distinct starting decks, winning duels adds new ingredients and upgrades, and beating a character enough times unlocks them to play as. js13k's own judges ranked it 6th overall of roughly 190 entries and 1st in the competition's sponsored Decentralized category.
Every action is a single tap on a card in your hand — no drag, no gesture, no hidden menu. That was confirmed by playing a full run, start to a loss screen, on a simulated touchscreen phone, then repeating it with a mouse on desktop: both worked identically with zero console errors and zero failed requests.
