A nice game with very interesting mechanics. Artistic side I would have played much more with the shapes also in the environment because the effect of the shadows that the torches project is very beautiful. Nice work!
cool mechanics! i feel like the overall pace (animation, card interaction) could be a little faster. However i enjoyed the real-time strategy part of it. side note: cool shadow play when the creature was cast by shadows!
I had fun. Nice use of minimalistic art to get the job done. There was a minor issue that the ui to start the game didn't work after going through the tutorial, but reloading the page and skipping the tutorial got past that. I wish there were more interesting audio, but overall this was a little great deck-builder/tug-of-war game. Nice work!
such a great entry, really well thought and I enjoyed the combat as well. the art is super nice and the music gives the whole game great vibe. congrats!
Really enjoyed this! Tutorial was a little long and text-heavy, but the game play is really fun and the aesthetic is great!
Thank you! I playtested with some folks who hadn't played deckbuilders so I tried to err on the side of over-explaining with the option to skip the tutorial, but I totally agree about the amount of text. Thanks again for the feedback and kind words!
This is awesome! I love it. Simple art, looping music that fits in with the look and feel and very addictive gameplay. It started being easy but once I was waiting for my Torchlighter cards to turn up, that's when the pressure started to pile on. Would love an expansion deck where you have risk/reward types, e.g. gaining a card instantly but spawning two enemies. Great work!
