Lost Cards

Lost Cards is a small, slightly ridiculous project about adding creative cards to ROUNDS. The goal is to give you new ways to play: turn walls into traps, weaponize a coffee break, send bullets back, or build something that probably should have stayed an idea.

We try to keep things somewhat balanced. Sometimes we even succeed. Sometimes... not so much xd.

A taste of the chaos

• Distortion Field: Enemy bullets enter the slow lane. With Empower, you can deliver the traffic jam by bullet.
• Sticky Bombs: Turn a perfectly innocent wall into somebody else's problem.
• Snowball System: One damage boost becomes several increasingly questionable damage boosts.
• Mirror: Your favorite card deserves an encore.
• Last Resort: Losing is temporary. Being petty is forever.

Every card

There are currently 17 cards. Cards marked "Repeat picks" can be picked more than once.

Sticky Bombs

Common · Repeat picks

Bullets stick to walls and explode. More copies mean more explosions. Now with a blinking bomb animation. More reasons to avoid that wall.

Safety First

Common · Repeat picks

Each copy halves damage from your own bullets and explosions. Protective equipment for questionable aim.

Focused Shot

Common · Repeat picks

Halves your bullet spread. Apparently aiming is an option.

Red Bull

Uncommon · Repeat picks

Move 50% faster. Places to be. Bullets to avoid.

Extra Jump

Uncommon · Repeat picks

Gain one extra midair jump per copy. The floor can wait.

Distortion Field

Uncommon · Repeat picks

Block to leave a field that slows enemy bullets by 90%. Empower can plant it where your bullet lands; extra copies make it bigger and longer-lasting. Also gives faster bullets and a slightly longer block cooldown. Your enemies have been placed on hold.

Coffee Break

Uncommon · Single pick

Stand still for one second to give your next bullet 50% extra damage. Finally, a tactical excuse to do nothing.

Gotta Go Fast

Uncommon · Single pick

Bullets start a little slower, then triple their speed each second in flight. A slow start and a deeply unreasonable finish.

Last Sip

Uncommon · Single pick

Your last bullet deals double damage, at the cost of one maximum ammo. Make the final drop count.

Heavy Landing

Uncommon · Single pick

Land from a big fall to unleash a shockwave that scales with your max health. Slightly reduces jump strength. Graceful? No. Effective? Hopefully.

Snowball System

Uncommon · Repeat picks

Successive copies give bigger damage boosts: +50%, +100%, +150%... This is getting out of hand.

Coin Flip

Rare · Single pick

A 50/50 gamble to double or halve your combat stats for the match. Financial advice was not consulted.

Equalizer

Rare · Repeat picks

Remove up to two random cards from every opponent. Fairness, achieved through mild vandalism.

Mirror

Rare · Repeat picks

Choose a card from your deck and gain another copy. The selection closes when battle begins. You liked it once. Why stop there?

Return to Sender

Rare · Single pick

Block to send nearby enemy bullets back toward their shooters. Increases block cooldown by 25%. Unwanted delivery? Return postage included.

Last Resort

Rare · Single pick

Explode when you die—even when losing an extra life. More gun damage means a bigger blast. One final complaint.

Veteran Soldier

Rare · Single pick

Each kill makes you hit harder, move and reload faster, and attack and block more often—until the next draft. The muscle memory is back. The knees have filed a complaint.

Stats overlay

Keep an eye on your health, damage, attack rate, block cooldown, and more with the live stats overlay during battles. Press F8 to show or hide it. Kills count each life taken, including Phoenix revives; your own revives keep your tally. Now you can put numbers on your questionable decisions.

Playing together

Requires BepInEx, UnboundLib, and ModdingUtils. Install Lost Cards and its dependencies on every player's machine for multiplayer.

Experiment, find strange combinations, and let us know when "somewhat balanced" becomes an especially optimistic description.
