Nightmate Match v1.0 is the finished version of my memory-card game. the typo in the name stayed because everybody already called it that.

the deck is shuffled once per round, pairs never move, and the timer pauses during the opening preview. hard mode shortens the preview instead of adding more cards.

i removed the screen shake and random fake cards from the beta. they were annoying, not scary.

normal mode should be comfortable. hard is for score runs.

normal clear with 38 seconds left. fixed deck makes every mistake feel like mine.

thank you for removing screen shake. beta made me stop after one round.

agreed. the final version keeps the atmosphere in the sound and card art.

hard clear with 11 seconds. short preview is enough of a difficulty change.

name still makes me laugh, but the game is solid. no errors after ten rounds.

the vector tarot sigils look super sharp. did you draw those by hand in Illustrator?

yes, hand-plotted SVG paths based on 19th-century occult grimoire woodcuts.

hard mode clear with 18.4s remaining! 8 consecutive matches without a single wrong flip.

the ambient chime when sealing a pair is really satisfying.

memorizing the 4 corner cards during the 2-second preview is the key to sub-20s clears.

clean, bug-free memory game. great to see it hit v1.0 SoftReset.

played on my ThinkPad trackpoint with no miss-clicks. great hitboxes.

new best score: 14,850 on Hard Mode.

still one of my go-to quick coffee break games on this forum.
