## What is MEMORICA?

MEMORICA is a new type of online Concentration game that combines
memory skills with strategic elements. By using skill cards, the game goes
beyond a simple test of memory, creating intense mental battles.
Players choose two skill cards at the start of each game, adding a layer of
psychological warfare to their matches.

Four types of skill cards:
3 Cards
You can flip three cards instead of the usual two, giving you an
advantage early in the game.

Darkness
Hide the images of cards your opponent has flipped, confusing
their memory and strategy.

Shuffle
Reset the position of memorized cards, disrupting your opponent’s plans.

See through
View the image on a specific card, giving you the information
you need to make a perfect match.

This game was inspired by the developer’s experience playing Concentration
with their child, who came up with unique ideas like, “What if you could flip
three cards?” or “What if you could see through the cards?” By turning these
ideas into reality, the game offers simple rules but deep strategic gameplay.

### 5/5 — Competitive Match 2

*2026-02-23*

Fun, easy to play card matcher. The art is especially beautiful.

### 5/5 — さいこぉ

*2025-10-05, version 1.1.6*

まだ始めて間もないが、洗練されたカードのデザインとシンプルながら画期的なルール。興奮してきますね。もっと人口を増やすためにたくさん宣伝してほしいのと、ペイトゥーウィンのゲームになりそうなのでスペシャルカードは無料にしたらいいんではないでしょうか。（知らんけど）他の要素で金を稼いでほちい。あと枚数を増やしてチーム戦とか？…
ちなみにcpu戦とpvpは分けて欲しいです

### 4/5 — 面白いし続けるけど…

*2025-09-18, version 1.1.6*

面白いけどアプリを入れてすぐの説明のなさが人によっては嫌かな？シンプルだからすぐに始められるんですが、戦略の鍵のカードに枚数制限が有るのが痛いです。まだ始めて5分だけなのでこのカードも使い切ったら補充する方法が有るのかもしれませんが…
なにはともあれ続けて行きたいと思えるゲームです。
雰囲気が好きなのと上で書いといて何ですが、何も説明の無い感じも自分は好きです。
カードを使い切っても安心出来るような補足が有ると嬉しいかも？
でもその使い切ったらどうなるんだろう感が好きと言えば好きなような…
とりあえず続けます笑

### 2/5 — 始めてから2日目です

*2025-07-25, version 1.1.6*

確かにゲーム性はすごく良いと思います。
ですが、人とマッチングすることはないので基本弱いAIとの1人遊びです。(試合数75回そのうち人と当たったのは1回でした)
バグとして自分のターンに回ってきた時、自分の一枚目が勝手にめくられるというバグも何度か遭遇しました。

### 3/5 — AIとの対戦ばかり

*2025-06-15, version 1.1.6*

所要時間も短く暇つぶしにちょうどいいのですが、いかんせん人とマッチしません。AIと対戦するのはいいとして、弱すぎて消化試合になってしまいます。難易度設定とかできたらいいんですけど。

### 5/5 — 記憶よりも戦略

*2025-05-06, version 1.1.6*

心理戦が何なのか、まだよく分からないけど面白い。

### 3/5 — 広告

*2025-05-04, version 1.1.6*

多いですね。

### 2/5 — 単なる神経衰弱

*2025-03-01, version 1.1.6*

スキルの入手方法も神経衰弱のルールに組み入れなければ独自性にならない。せっかくオリジナルのカードを作ったのだから、並べ方もグリッド状ではつまらない。背景を用意してその上に配置したり、何ターンかでカードが移動したりなどがあってもいい。

### 3/5 — 最後まで捲れるようにしてほしい

*2025-02-28, version 1.1.6*

神経衰弱の後半全部のカードを覚えて、連続で最後の一枚まで捲っていくあの瞬間が好きなのに、過半数のカードをとってしまうとゲームが強制終了してしまう。消化不良。あとは人が少ないのか何連続も頭の悪いAIと対戦させられて悲しい。

### 3/5 — バグ…？

*2025-02-07, version 1.1.5*

神経衰弱にスキル有りでわかひやすくユニークなゲームだと思いました。
一人でできるモードが有ればもっと手軽にいっぱいやりたい！

また10vs10で場にカードがない時にcpuくんが固まって制限時間も止まるので多分バグかもしれません、、
2連続で起きて放置しましたがbgmがなっているのみでスタンプすら押せませんでした。
