Mazocarta is a roguelike deck building card game that runs in the browser, built in Rust and compiled to WebAssembly. Each run takes the player through three sectors with a branching map, where you choose your path through combat fights, elite fights, a boss, rest stops, shops, and story events. Combat is deterministic, meaning enemy behavior is calculated in a fixed way rather than randomly, and enemy intents, status effects, equipment style modules, and consumable items are all shown to the player before they act. The game works as an installable web app with offline support after the first time it loads online, and it supports mouse, keyboard, and touch input. The interface is available in English and Spanish. There is also a command line only Android wrapper that packages the web version into a native app using WebView, so a phone can run it without needing the full Android Studio interface, as long as Java, adb, and the Android SDK command line tools are installed. A notable feature is local multiplayer over a shared network. Two players on the same network can pair by entering a code, with one device acting as host and the other as guest, then play a synced run where both players see the same map, though only the host chooses which node to visit next. Automated tests exist to check for stalls or freezes across repeated multiplayer sessions. For balance testing, the project includes a simulation tool that can run many automated matches and print statistics about how difficult the game is, for both single player and two player modes. The source code is organized into separate files for combat rules, application state, game content like cards and enemies, and map generation. The project is licensed under MIT.
