The premise is good and the art's very solid (everything reads well and the styles is very consistent -- this art is super impressive for your first time doing SVG stuff!), but I also feel like the design was a bit lacking. I think this could work well as a puzzle game with levels designed around manipulating the hero into taking certain actions. E.g. if the ghost always makes him turn around, you can control his path a bit more, or if when he gets armor he becomes overconfident about his abilities you can bait him into a fight with a high level enemy. I'm a huge fan of deckbuilders and I don't remember seeing one that mixes deck building with tower-defense, so this could be a really novel idea!

I will have to agree with DungeonMartain

There's definitely some fun ideas in here, but I don't think this is the best version of the game. I misread the instructions initially, and it took 28 floors to actually get the adventurer up to 10 armour. Then, when I retried, I killed him on floor 3. I think you've got a strong concept, but something needs to be revised from a design perspective. Keep working on this! I want to see where it goes!
I feel like this game was intended for CO-OP I think 2 players take turns to place good and bad cards but I'm not 100% sure, the design is kinder messy didn't understand what to do, I just kept killing the guy, and moving on but then I would survive so not 100% sure what was going on.
I initially planned on a more involved way of placing the cards in real rooms and not just placing one card per room. That was sadly way out of scope and so I settled on that (messy) approach. After thinking about it, I agree that COOP may work wonderfull with the current implementation.
Anyhow, thank you so much for the honest feedback and of course playing!:)
The guy goes wherever he wants. i kinda want to smack him sometimes.
