About the Game

Welcome to Ace Marks the Spot, a relaxing blend of simple card-clicking strategy and satisfying monster hunting. Designed as a methodical, slow-burn experience, this is a game about embracing the grind and watching your power steadily grow.

You begin your journey empty-handed, gathering doubloons and scattered loot. Once you’ve scraped together enough resources, you can buy your first weapon -- or forge it yourself at the Smithy. Armed and ready, set sail across 5 Islands to hunt down mysterious beasts.

There are no game-overs, health bars, or tight inputs to worry about here; you are immortal. The true challenge lies in your efficiency. Monsters won't attack you, but they will flee if you can't deal enough damage in X rounds of solitaire, taking their precious loot with them. Clear an island of its beasts to unlock new lands, craft deadlier weapons, encounter stronger monsters, and uncover a few neat things along the way.

 Lances are reliable, and come with toggleable Combo Armor which will prevent your combo from breaking on card draw or misclick! Lances can string together massive combos with ease!

 Staves are tricky, and they boast the ability to Undo your most recent action, including combo breaks! They also Crit super hard every 3rd/6th/9th+ hit!

 Greatswords are mighty and opportunistic, leading to colossal damage when clearing the final card in a column! With a bit of skill, effort, and luck, you can deal some truly devastating blows!

 Bows are quick and fearsome in the right hands! Playing your cards quickly with a bow can result in Speed Crits, which can really reward a rapid and active player!

With over 50 weapons to buy, craft, and obtain, you're sure to find at least one you love!

This game's soundtrack consists of one song, made by zKevin. It's a banger that will be stuck in your head forever! I promise!
