We officially announce that the game will be released on January 11th 2022 on Steam and Mobile!

I'm torcado, I have been developing games solo for over 8 years by now, most of which have been made for game jams such as Ludum Dare. Heck Deck is one of those games, originally made in under 48 hours for the Ludum Dare game jam with the theme "combine two incompatible genres." Heck Deck scored 1st place in Innovation, 3rd in Fun and Theme, and 5th Overall in that competition, out of over 3000 submissions. Since then, I decided to bring the idea further and turn it into a fully packed and polished game, and after 3 years it's finally wrapping up! I really enjoy creating unique experiences through games, and I hope Heck Deck achieves that with players.

We are very proud to present Heck Deck, a 2D bullet hell card game where all the bullets are cards and time only progresses as you move. Come discover epic enemies and boss fights, dozens of cards with unique spells, in 5 different stages.

Heck Deck is participating in the Steam Next Fest which runs from October 1st to 7th. On this occasion, a demo of Heck Deck will be available to playtest, give it a try!
