Hello itch.io Community!

We are thrilled to announce the annuncment of Jumara, an exciting card game set in the heart of a mystical jungle. In Jumara, strategy and survival go hand in hand as you navigate through thrilling encounters and cunningly outplay your opponents with a unique card system.

What is Jumara?

Jumara is an adventure game that combines immersive jungle exploration with strategic card battles. As you journey through this vibrant world, you’ll face various enemies and challenges, each demanding careful planning and resource management.

Key Features:

• Strategic Card Battles: Engage in dynamic card-based combat where every move counts.
• Unique TOX System: A distinctive action bar mechanism that adds depth and strategy to every encounter.
• Resource Management: Keep an eye on your hunger bar and manage your resources wisely.
• Immersive Jungle Environment: Explore a richly detailed jungle full of secrets and surprises.
• Compelling Storyline: Uncover the mysteries of Jumara as you progress through the game.

The TOX System Explained

The TOX Bar: The TOX bar is an action bar at the top of the screen, divided into quadrants. Each quadrant can be one of three symbols: Triangle (T), Circle (O), or Cross (X). Playing a card with a TOX symbol consumes an action from the TOX bar. If no actions are left, the combat ends, and if the enemy has remaining points, they win.

Game Phases:

• Mulligan Phase: After generating the TOX bar, choose to keep or reshuffle your initial hand, drawing new cards for each reshuffled card.
• Playing Cards: Each card has a Hunger cost added to your hunger bar. If the hunger bar reaches 100, the game ends. Reduce hunger by winning encounters, playing specific cards, or performing certain actions.

Card Effects:

Each card has two effects: a base effect that occurs when played, and a TOX effect that activates if the card’s TOX symbol matches the current TOX in the action bar. Keywords define the card's effects, such as Draw X (draw X cards) or Damage X (deal X damage). Keywords are executed in the order listed.

Advanced Mechanics:

• Revealing TOX: Only a limited number of TOX symbols are revealed at the start. Use cards with Reveal TOX X or True Sight to unveil hidden symbols.
• Delay Queue: The Delay X keyword postpones subsequent actions by X turns, executed before other actions when the corresponding TOX is reached.

Interactions with Enemies:

• Predators: Generate attack turns, dealing damage to the player.
• Prey: Generate escape attempts. If their agility exceeds yours and you can't use stun or snare abilities, they escape.

Rewards:

Winning encounters reduces the hunger bar and rewards you with Bonse, the in-game currency.
