Test your memory in this bizarre game of matching.  Battle the dealer Fred the Drunk, and try to match all his cards.

Controls: WASD move, and Enter or Space choose.

Pairs & Pints features one battle against Fred the Drunk. He's a brute of a man. The battle starts off with 2 pairs of cards, hidden to the player, only shown for a brief moment. Once you match all the pairs, you're given the change to buy an upgrade, if you can afford it. Then Fred deals again, expanding the board and match options. This continues until you either run out of time, or Fred is dead. You have 3 tries to beat Fred.

There are four card types: 
1) Coin -- adds to your coin collection; your combo count adds to the amount.
2) Time -- adds a few seconds to your clock.
3) Damage -- does 2 damage to Fred; your combo count is added to the damage.
4) Combo -- adds 5 to your combo count.

Each successful pair adds one point to your combo count. Each mismatch removes all your combo count. The key to beating Fred is to keep your combo count high! There are 4 upgrades.
1) Adds a coin each mismatch.
2) Reveal another pair on your first successful match.
3) Block the next mismatch from removing your combo count.
4) Reveal a hidden card on a mismatch.

This is a game created for Godot Wild Jam # 90. It's a week long jam. The theme was Journey, with wild card subcategories of Cartography, Hidden in Plain Sight, and Bullet Time.

The basic game idea was to journey around a fantasy land, getting to know colorful people -- as they say, the it's not the destination, but the friends you make along the way. However, I really went with the Hidden in Plain Sight theme, by having match-the-hidden-cards as the main gameplay mechanic, and didn't have the time to put in more than one character, so there isn't much Journey; haha! I had many more plans for upgrades, but didn't have the time to implement them either. Also I was hoping for a 'meta shop', where you could buy permanent passive upgrades to help you along your journey.

Pontax was a pleasure to work with. He's fast and communicates well!
