Took two days off, slept properly, and now I'm ready to share my first LD submission.

Concept: Deckbuilder where cards are radio signals (frequencies + wave types). Build patterns like Sweep, Harmony, Echo to transmit through interference. Balatro-inspired scoring with jokers and multipliers.

Engine: Unity Time: 72 hours work, ~9 hours sleep across 3 days

What worked: data-driven patterns (easy to extend), neon aesthetic covering rough art, juice pass in the last 12 hours.

What didn't: first balance pass was completely broken. Didn't have time for the soundtrack I wanted.

making a whole game in 3 days is quite a rush!

here’s the gist: You’ve impersonated an agent at the biggest social media psyop manufacturer in the world. Can you stay undercover and find your co-conspirator in your mission to expose them? Gather intel and sharpen your detective skills to infiltrate Fabric - the “Reality Fabricators”. The clues are randomized each run, so your mission will always be a little different!​
