Playing cards. That explode. I didn’t know that such a genius concept was missing from my life until this game. Poker makes you sleepy? Go Fish makes you want to swim with the fishies? Play Decipher the Deck to rekindle your relationship with everything you know and love about card games. My takeaways: - It’s clear a lot of thought was put into the details…the sound effects make everything 10.47x more satisfying. - 70 levels means you get plenty of time to get to know the rules, befriend them, and high-five them when things work out. - The levels come with hints if you need them…enough said. - Bonus: The artwork is a feast for the eyes, and soothing at the same time. Highly recommend this gem of a puzzle game.

伏せられたルールを推測し、条件に合うよう手札のカードを置くパズルゲーム ルール推測自体の難易度はそこまで難しくない印象で、どこにどの向きで置くかというパズルの比重が重め 詰まった時は一手教えてくれるヒント機能も搭載 全体的に楽しめるパズル
Definitely recommend this game! It's a lot of fun, and for such a little cost, it has plenty of puzzles that make you think! The music is pretty chill and relaxing, and the art is smart and intuitive. Worth it!
A fun puzzle game! Pretty intuitive, but really gets you thinking for some of the levels. The music and boss levels make it feel more satisfying too. Quite a lot of content for the price! Definitely would recommend it to people who enjoy logic and math games!
the game is really good and well polished. I played the game when it was in beta and liked it then I started creating a guide for those who get stuck on the early levels
Played this during the beta. All 70 levels. It has interesting puzzle design and a lot of the puzzles are very satisfying to solve once you get around to the solution. Cool idea!
This is a very cool puzzle game that takes a simple set of mechanics and does a lot with them. It took me a minute to get my bearings, but once I did, I enjoyed it a lot! Keep an eye on this dev's next game You Are The Code. I played the demo on Itch last month, and it is an extremely inventive take on the puzzle genre that has a lot of potential!
I had a great time with Decipher the Deck! It feels a bit like playing Solitaire but with unexpected and twisted rules. I'd say it's 50% rule discovery 50% execution, and both parts are balanced and engaging in themselves. The UI isn't great, but it doesn't get in the way of the puzzles. If you've got a rule discovery itch and if you like the (short) demo, you'll probably enjoy the full game as much as I did!
Good puzzle game to explore! There's some interesting "secret" mechanics. If you're a puzzle game and card game fan give it a shot!
