About

CalystrixCard Carnival

Features
Read full description

CalystrixCard Carnival is a collection of three original card puzzles, each with its own rule set. One idea holds them together: a deck of cards is a wonderful set of puzzle pieces, and a Joker is the piece that fits anywhere. Joker Orbit asks you to plant cards on three turning rings around a Joker star. Every card you plant makes the whole orrery drift, so you are always planning one step into a board that is about to move. Joker Bloom treats cards as seeds. Each suit grows its own way — hearts spread sideways, diamonds run diagonally, spades creep downward, clubs send out a single runner. Four touching plots of one suit bloom and lock in. Plant in the wrong order and your garden strangles itself. Joker Prophecy shows you the future. You can see the next three cards and the exact square each one will land on. You cannot stop them — but you can spend Joker tokens to redirect them, change their suit, or turn them wild. Then you satisfy the omens the stage demands. Every one of the 36 stages is built from a fixed seed, so a stage is the same puzzle for everybody, every time. Skill decides the outcome, not the shuffle. Features • Three original puzzles, 36 hand-authored stages, three stars to earn on each. • Joker Orbit — a drifting three-ring orrery. Nudge a ring, spend a Freeze, align the rays. • Joker Bloom — suit-directed growth on a 6×6 garden, with Joker Suns that revive everything nearby. • Joker Prophecy — turn-based and untimed. See what is coming, then bend it with Joker tokens. • Versus (2–6 players) — the host picks one puzzle and stage, everyone solves an identical board, and the best score takes the round. Placing earns XP for everyone. • No internet, no accounts, no data leaving your device — versus runs peer-to-peer over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. • Failed attempts still earn XP, so progress only ever moves forward. • Progression: levels, XP, stars, solve streaks, achievements, a leaderboard, plus Stats and a full run History. • Sound and haptics, both switchable.
