COMPLETE: Mond Cards
Jan. 10th, 2021 04:36 pmI was browsing r/tipofmyjoystick, a Subreddit wherein people describe games they half-remember in hopes that someone can tell them what on Earth that one game was. Someone asked, and I quote:
"[Flash] [2010s] A Newgrounds pixel art game were[sic] you play a bizarre and nonsensical game of cards with made up rules against an eyeless man. Behind him is a perverted praying mantis who constantly makes innuendos."
This was solved in the comments--it's Mond Cards, apparently--but with a description like that, you just know I had to check it out.
So Mond Cards is... yeah, it's pretty much that. I don't really have a lot to add here. You play a made-up Calvinball card game you always lose until a twist reveal at the very end, it's barely interactive and your choices don't matter, the praying mantis in the background really wants to fuck you, it's about ten minutes long. Newgrounds-brand trippy art games sure were the days, huh?
Yeah.
