5 Card Mayhem

Hold five playing cards. Flick them at the monsters marching down the screen. Every card hits for its rank, and the hand you hold decides how hard. 5 Card Mayhem is a fast arcade card game built on poker hands. Pairs hit double, threes triple, fours quadruple. Hit a monster of the card's suit and the damage doubles again. Every combo you play upgrades its cards for the rest of the run, so the deck you shuffle into wave 10 is nothing like the one you started with. HOW IT PLAYS • Swipe up on a card to throw it. Cards fly where you flick them. • Each card hits for its rank: 2 for a deuce, 14 for an ace. • Pairs ×2, threes ×3, fours ×4. Matching the monster's suit doubles the hit. • Monsters that reach your line take their remaining health off your life. YOUR DECK GROWS • Cards in a combo upgrade for the whole run: Silver, Gold, Holo, Prism, Plasma, Nova and Cosmic, up to ×8. • A flush gives its five cards their suit's power: spades pierce, clubs splash, diamonds bounce, hearts heal. • A straight raises all five cards a tier. • Your deck carries through the run, upgrades and all. Learn when to wait for your best cards. BOSSES AND REWARDS • An armored boss arrives every fifth wave. Weak hits bounce right off. • Every other wave, and after every boss, pick a reward: add a card, copy one, remove one, upgrade one, or heal. MADE FOR ONE THUMB • Portrait, one hand, quick waves. • Free. The only ads are optional ones you choose to watch.
