I recently remade Alchemy Quest in a different engine. Feel free to check it out if you were a fan of the old Alchemy Quest or Short Stax. https://ellabelle.itch.io/alchemy-quest-2

Added a new endless game-mode to Short Stax. The game is still balanced around the story mode, but for everyone that kept asking for more floors knock yourself out :p

Added in some popular requests to the game, such as text displaying why you cannot play a certain card.

Added the ability to open the opponent's pile(graveyard) and read their cards even after they're no longer in play.

Removed cards having scaling energy cost. except a couple of exceptions. The mechanic was confusing.

Fixed the display for counter not updating.

Also buffed a couple of weak cards.

Added in 7-8 new cards.

If you feel really invested in some specific aspect of the game you can get in touch with me at https://discord.gg/r2aRAgQ where I'm more active.

Thx for playing <3

There's been a lot of comments on Short Stax about stuff people would want to see more of / changed so I'll try and follow up on some of the most popular stuff.

I made a new game called Short Stax when i won the last NSFW mini-jam.

Also, stop playing alchemy quest. It hasn't worked for years.

If you want a game like Alchemy Quest you can try https://ellabelle.itch.io/conquest-and-desire which is sort of a spiritual successor.
