How does your game fit the theme?
It's very exciting when you win a battle and get to see the rewards that are hidden behind the dungeon doors.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Art and sound was sourced externally, except for the boss monster. Most code was made during the jam.

This game is so much fun, if it were a bit more polished and had more content I would definitely play it all the time!
Oh boy! I get to be the dragon! Fun card game! I found this pretty challenging. That first archer can be tough if you don't know what you're doing. I'm impressed at the complexity of the combos. Well done!
Great : D
As a competitive person it got me trying to beat the game for about 45 minutes :D
But the 4th group is impossible for me.
Would be nice to play some more easier levels and get better cards before facing harder enemies
I guess this is a balance thing that is hard to do well in generall and especially in 7 days.
I think randomized card effects are a cool and interesting idea that explored a little more would give amazing results.
But also can give strange/confusing cards like epic molten armor from your screen for example. (or I dont understand that card :D)
But also it can give some really nice combos like scorch 3x and upgraded breath fire - tons of heal!
Love the attention to detail like changing 'Card Target' to an actuall target when using the card.
Appreciate the 'Faster' option :D
Even tho the art and sound wasnt made by you it fits very well.
Solid entry, good job!
I love card games where you choose cards to battle! It's so enjoyable to strategize and decide which opponent to use your hand of cards against, and the satisfaction when your plan works out is fantastic. The graphics and music are also outstanding!
Fun little JRPG
Very interesting game mechanics! I really like how you have to think your combos and strategy, it is both fun and challenging. Also, the idea is really cool and so are graphics and audio. Great job!
I absolutely love the concept for this game. It's really fun to strategize the best order of cards to use, and on who to use them on. Having to take into account what the enemies are planning to do, as well as any active status effects adds so much depth to the gameplay! Also really appreciate the text boxes auto-filling depending on what is being hovered over :)
Thanks!! I'm glad you enjoyed digging into the strategy of the game!
This is really cool, but it can be a bit difficult to track what's going on. If you're going to keep working on this after the jam (which you definitely should!) I'd recommend finding a way to simplify the cards, potentially using keywords to make it easier to tell what one does at a glance. It would also be good to ramp up the complexity more gradually, maybe hold back a few of the damage types or status effects until players have had a chance to get used to the gameplay.
Also just want to point out, the tutorial is very well put together and it's very impressive that you managed all of it in a week!
Great feedback! Once the voting period ends we'll be updating the cards to be much simpler to read. Thanks for playing!
solid game. interessting concept and cool cards. I like the slay the spire inspiration and you did it well. Good job!
Very good concept with a lot potential to implement a full version! Great Job!
interesting concept. I havent played slay the spire, so the game is foreign to me. but cool game! congrats on the jam submission!
Interesting concept, but sometimes I felt I did not understand what was going on , maybe too many information at the same time ? But great idea, card games take a bit of time to balance and polish so it's not the easiest choice for a week jam so well done :)
Great concept and engaging mechanics! I love the reversal of roles to be the boss of the dungeon!
Slay the Spire vibe :). Game is too easy though, but card games are hard to balance.
I'm amazed that you say it's too easy! I usually only win half of my runs (* ￣︿￣)
I find this game concept interestning. Altho there is a bug that makes the text saying "pick up to 3 cards" and the button text dissapear. Fun to play for a short while, but could use some balancing
Thanks for playing. The bug seems to only be in the web build. Couldn't figure out why.
