About this game

Wild Card is a roguelite shooter where every bullet is a playing card. Chips, coins and stars fly across the table. Fire the cards in your hand at them, and every card that hits drops into the pot. When the pot holds five cards it scores as a poker hand: Chips x Mult, counted up card by card with your jokers joining in.

Blue chips add Chips, red chips add Mult, gold coins pay cash and purple stars multiply your Mult. Pick which card to fire so you can build pairs, flushes, straights and full houses. Beat each round's goal before your cards run out, then spend your winnings in the shop on jokers, special cards (Wild, Gold, Glass, Bonus, Mult) and playbooks that level up your favourite hands. Every third round a boss joins the table: The Wall hides behind a spinning shield, The Eye stops one suit scoring Chips and The Wheel spins and flips. Bosses also throw dice that burn your cards, so shoot those down too.

Keyboard and mouse: move the mouse to aim and click on the table to fire. Press 1-5, Q and E, or use the mouse wheel or right-click to pick a card. You can also aim with A/D or the arrow keys and fire with Space or W. Press X to discard the picked card (3 per round) and Enter to score the pot early.

Touch: tap a card in your hand to pick it, then tap anywhere on the table to fire it at that spot. The DISCARD and SCORE buttons sit on either side of your hand.

Gamepad: the left stick aims, A fires, LB and RB pick a card, X discards and Y scores.
