🕹️ Gameplay Snapshot
This game is a versus game where two players on the same pc with a split screen has to go against each others and get the biggest amount of money to win at the end of the timer.
The players can buy in 4 different card packages (each with a higher price for 4 tiers), they'll drop cards of different symbols, rarity and family.
On top of the screen they will have Buy Orders from NPC's, if they have the right cards they can sell it, or trade with the opposite player.
Some orders are really quick, buy and sell like a trading market, buy new and more expensive cards to sell for a higher price.
You can even create your own buy order for your enemy, for a cheap price, if you know that you can sell the card for a higher price, so buy cheap and sell high.

- QAtesting (Playtesting and tweaking the values for the game to be fair and satisfying to play with a pressure with the timer)
💡 Lesson Learned
Making a versus game with split screen on the SAME PC, but knowing each players shouldn't be able to see other's screen, so we just added a cardbox on top of the screen and made it nicely so it fits.
It was for a little competition game, so we had to fit a currency in our game, balance it nicely so it's fun to play and nice for the competition.
