Brave Hand just launched, and it’s now available on Steam! Brave Hand is my award-winning press-your-luck meets solitaire card game, and it's finally ready for you to play. It’s releasing for just $1.79 ($1.99 with a 10% launch discount), and includes achievements, leaderboards, and Steam Trading Cards. I’m excited for everyone to play and I hope the affordable price encourages you to check it out!
The game features 4 endlessly replayable modes, including a brand-new “Zen Mode.” In the game, you use the cards in your hand to challenge cards in 8 piles, and decide whether to press on challenging the same pile for exponential increase in points, or to stop and bank what you have. With randomized decks, pile complete bonuses, and special card rules to explore, you’ll find yourself playing over and over again. As you play, you unlock an epic story via 16 storybook pages. The pages double as customizable theme decks and backgrounds.
You can expect Brave Hand to be a small, highly-replayable, solitaire-style card game where your goal is to beat your previous score, and unlock a light story along the way. I made it because I loved the simple yet replayable games that came with my first computer, and wanted something like them, but with just a little more strategy.
If the main "Brave" mode is too hard or too random for your taste, you can try out the other modes! Boost Mode adds up to 3 legendary golden cards to your deck. The longer Jumbo Mode has 8 cards per pile and an epic 90 card deck. Finally, Zen Mode makes it easier to progress by letting you win ties and giving you more cards in your hand. Each mode is designed to cater to a specific type of playstyle and give you endless ways to play.
You can buy it from our Steam store page. Feel free to contact me through Twitter, or our Discord if you run into any trouble or just want to follow along with development. I really hope you enjoy the game.
