BUFAKARDS (GBA)

BUFAKARDS 0.01L OUT NOW!!!!!!

(Now with a brand new soundtrack)!

BUFAKARDS is a cozy card collecting game for the Game Boy Advance, featuring cute creatures, questionable life forms, and deeply irresponsible financial decisions.

Open booster packs, chase rare variants, get cards graded, and put your favorites on exhibition. Fuse your duplicates into something spectacular—or discover that the machine has other plans. Take a vacation, enter the Collectors guild, or enchant your cards for passive bonuses!

There are hundreds of cards to discover, thousands of variants to chase, and packs expensive enough to suggest someone should be supervising you.

Music in this game was composed and produced in midi by me. No Ai was used in the making of the music ;)

This is a GBA game, distributed as a .gba ROM and intended to run on emulators and original Game Boy Advance hardware using a compatible flash cartridge.

Collect something weird. Get it graded. Become emotionally attached to a turnip.

BUFAKARDS 0.01K — A fresh coat of neon

The shop got a makeover, the soundtrack got nine new songs, and Fusion finally has room to finish a sentence.

• New title screen and soundtrack. Nine original tracks by B3R7LIVES now play across the game. The Pack Boutique theme has warmer chords and bell tones up top.
• 31 redesigned backgrounds. Neon shop interiors and postcard destinations now share the new title screen’s cozy retro look. Main menu tiles and several larger panels let the artwork show through, while selected rows stay solid and easy to spot.
• Market Ticker refresh. Browse cleaner price listings and open any set for a bright green seven-day chart on a dark panel.
• Clearer Guild and Enchantment screens. Guild jobs show which objectives are done, current, or next. Enchantment cards, recipes, and costs are easier to read.
• Cleaner Fusion list. Card names fit on one row. Finish labels and copy counts appear in the copy picker when you choose a card with duplicates.
• More readability fixes. Postcard Exchange is easier to read, and the Café uses darker lettering on light panels. Options now shows the correct controls and accepts both D-pad left/right and the L/R shoulder buttons.

Existing saves remain compatible. Back up your save and rename it to match the new ROM filename if needed.

BUFAKARDS 0.01L

Oatmeal Lawyer has entered the collection. Please direct all objections to the bowl.

• 50 new cards across all 26 existing sets. Find 40 in packs and 10 exclusively through Fusion. The collection now has 434 unique cards, with new art ranging from claymation and stained glass to courtroom oils.
• 48 Guild quests. The board now offers one-, two-, and three-step jobs with rewards scaled to their length. Browse completed quests in the new log, and build reputation to earn vouchers for increasingly valuable packs.
• 31 enchantments. Added 21 recipes covering income, pack luck, Fusion, grading, Exhibitions, and more. Speed enchantments now help grading and Postcard Exchange as well as the day clock.
• A cleaner menu layout. Collect holds Collection, Exhibitions, Journal, and Options. Town holds Packs, Grading, Café, and Market, and opens first in a new game. Play holds Guild, Postcards, Fusion, and Enchantment.
• Clearer Packs and Guild screens. The pack list has a translucent panel, and lingering on a pack cycles through its description, rarity odds, and collection progress. The Guild tracker gives each objective more room.
• Updated pacing. Fusion unlocks after opening three packs and grading one card. Days now advance on the clock, with a visible countdown in the top bar. Manual day skipping has been removed. Day-speed bonuses taper after +45% and cap at +60%.

Existing saves remain compatible. Back up your save and rename it to match the new ROM filename.
