Balance Ma’atters

The world’s out of balance. Again.
As Ma’at, the goddess of truth and order, it’s up to you to fix the mess Apophis made — with nothing but a handful of cards.

In this quick and quirky card game, you’ll battle mischievous beasts, tip scales, and unleash massive attacks when balance is restored.
Just be careful: a little tilt is fine, but if you fully tip those scales... well, chaos has a lot of free time.

🕹️ How to Play:

  • Play cards to attack, defend, and shift the scales.

  • Balance small scales to gain extra multipliers.

  • Balance the large scale to unleash stored power.

  • At the end of your turn, if a small scale is fully unbalanced, Ma’at will skip her next turn to recover.

  • At the end of your turn, if the large scale is fully unbalanced, you immediately lose the battle.

  • Stay calm. Stay steady. Save the world.

⚡ Made for Gamedev.js jam 2025!

Balance Ma’atters is a small, light-hearted project with a touch of roguelite.  Some fancy features didn’t make it this time, but hey, balance first, sparkle later.
Thanks for playing and helping keep the universe scales steady!

I loved your implementation of balance so much! It is made so beautifully with lots of love, the art style is so cute and the turn base combat is so fun and intelligent. The music is also perfect. Absolutely fantastic job and a beautifully made game! 🥰

Thanks for playing! I’m so glad you enjoyed the art style, gameplay, and audio—it really made my day!
