Alchemist of War

Singleplayer card game where you craft and sell weapons to two war factions. There is no defeat in this game, but if you want to make a high score, you need to balance the power of two factions. If one side gets too powerful, which you can see on the bar at the top right, the game ends. If you match the crafting ingredients colors with the arrows, you'll get a bonus in profits and power of that weapon. You can kick a customer to postpone the game-over, but it costs 10 golds, so try to craft a useless weapon if you can, instead of kicking them. The more you prolong the game, stronger the weapons become, so it gets harder as you play.

Charming little game with very nice art style.

Honestly for $1, you get a very difficult game. It's not crazy deep, and yet some mechanics aren't even explained. But I've had a decently fun time trying to figure out how far I can take the game, trying very carefully to balance the war gauge.

A small but clever game.

Go play Pieces of Cake on Itch

Feels like it'd be an excellent mini-game within a larger game.
