Don't Fear the Jester - A Fattening Card Game

That was fantastic, I loved the 1st person perspective view of the player character and the card game was quite a fun concept

DontFearTheJester (Gain Jam Version):

Good point:
Dont fear the jester
-Easy to understand
-Physics of the cards very well done.
-adapted music
-Interesting art.
-2D/3D effect of the characters give a real identity to the games.

Point to review:
-The decor does not do justice to the rest of the games.

Final point of view: Simple but very effective. The rules are very accessible and the intervention of the jester is very well measured. The endings is surprising and sticks well to the theme of the Jam. Itā€™s very short but the fun is there.
Thank for your work! :slight_smile:

so i ran into a problem where on android it cuts the screen so i canā€™t see the whole thing and canā€™t even start playing, i hope that gets fixed cuz i would love to try this out since i donā€™t have pc to play on

This might be my favorite weight gain game ever and Iā€™ve played a TON. The art is incredible, the sound effects are sooooo good, and the game is easy to play/understand! Begging for some more to be added on in the future, especially after the ending where the user becomes immobile!

Fantastic all-round. Definitely an unexpected ending (and the double entendre title is a nice touch), and the items and jokers play into the theme as well. The sound effects and player reactions to their gain are exquisite, the only thing I can think of to add is an image of the princess at the end (or both endings? :eyes:), but otherwise chefā€™s kiss.

This is a top 3 Gam Jam winner so far. Love the twist endings, gameplay, and the artwork!

how do you get the secret ending

You must finish the game with both the Jester and yourself at the maximum weight level, which can only be accomplished by playing a Joker when both characters are tied at their second to last weight level.
