Works on phones and computers

You fight your way through five dungeon guardians, starting with a Briar Kobold at the Moss Gate, by placing two cards from your hand on a shared five-by-five board to complete a row, column or diagonal. A pair or better lets you strike, a three of a kind hits harder, and then the enemy plays its own hand on the same board and hits back. A “Find a hand” button suggests a move, and you can redraw or heal when a turn goes badly. Works on phones and computers.

How the creator made it

The creator used Astra to recreate and expand the poker and turn-based battle mechanics of an old Android game they enjoyed. They used generative AI for the character, dungeon and page artwork and supplied the music themselves.
