Cardinal is a 1v1 boomer shooter, mixed up with a card game. You start rounds with cards, and can play as many as you want. Some cards are global, some can be played on yourself or your opponent, and some are abilities that you can play in the round!

The first player to get 5 points wins the game. Each point is given when you win two halves on a specific map. Each time a player gets a point, you move to a new arena. We've got a good few arenas and are making more!

The plan is to make the map selection entirely cloud-based, so you can make your own maps and it'll pick from them.

We also want to add events, so certain rounds will have event modifiers on them - like a rising lava pit, random meteors, stuff like that.

You start with 5 cards, and can draw a card every half. The loser of a half gets to draw an extra card.

We've currently got over 40 playing cards, and are making even more. If you have any suggestions for cards - let us know!

You can also re-roll if you don't like a card you got, but you have a limited amount of re-rolls, shown under the deck.

Cards can apply stats to your player, or weapon. They're built in a way that are scaleable, and stackable. You can have a card that gives you +10 damage, or 25% damage - and it just works.

We've got effects that increase the amount of bounces your bullets have, you can double, triple, quadruple jump.. and much more - we'll be adding more cards as we go too!

We also have pickups that spawn around the map, these are normally ability cards - pick 'em up and use them, otherwise they'll despawn next round!

We've got some achievements - and leaderboards, so you can compete against your friends and the world to see who's better.
