Nice idea! Sounds like you had fun creating sound effects :D

Interesting idea this one. Rather than having to win or loose you just need to keep the balance.
Also fair play to implementing deck building mechanics in a jam. That must have been tough.

Great idea and well implemented with great graphics, music and SFXs. However, on my second go I just left the game play out without using any cards and the balance was held without me doing anything :)

HURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

I think you have a good base for a game. The card play is a good idea. The tactical move across the battlefield is interesting. You work in Deck Building and Card Combos you would get a great game out of this. I see lots of potential here. I hope you get to keep working on this game.

Very Good Game and Concept. The music was awsome too! What is more, I liked the fact that it was a card game. The UI was also very good implemented. Well Done!

I never played card games but your game is an exception. I really had a good time but a sense of progress was missing, all in all it was a great game with good foundation!!!!! If you have time please play mine and rate it!!!!

Thanks for the comment, as a solo dev I only had time for the initial stage, but plan on making a progression system soon! :)

"BOOLAR!" as they say. Or that's what I'm hearing them say. :D

It's a neat idea, pretty simple in its current state as I'm sure you know. It seems like a solid foundation for adding more character types and cards to up the variety. For me, personally, I'd prefer a goal than for it to play out endlessly, with levels which introduce new things gradually over time, but that's definitely a personal preference sort of thing.

Didn't see many card game in the competion, well done in creating one! :)

Cool entry :)

Really interesting concept. I did much better on my second attempt playing after I got a better grasp of the mechanics. It'd be interesting to see how it could be explored in a full game! Well done!

That's interesting. The sound of the monsters is a bit loud compare to the other side. It's a bit frustrating that you don't get your score, it keeps playing in the background. 

Good concept you got there.

This game was really fun, I wished there were more levels. The sound effects were awesome as well, keep it up!

Submitted

I think this is a solid idea if you wanted to add more depth

Funny game.  Maybe add a timer to finish a level. Short feedback loop ;-)

Developer

Currently there is a single level, so no end (high score only), planning to add level timers and variable conditions to spice things up :)

I liked the idea quite a lot, combining few different well known mechanics and having this! I liked the game, hoped it wasn't beaten so easily, maybe a bit harder. I completely understand only the one level/etc, when doing something like this alone, just crank the difficulty up a lot and test it with some mates or people on discord to get a good balance! 

It was fun to play and I'd see myself playing this if it would be longer, now I just beat the game in like 1min or so :D Hope you continue developing this and let me know when you're getting new versions out! 

I could see this being a proper game, maybe a bit more mobile suitable but still could have potential!
Hope you get time to review us as well, I know you played the game already! :D

Really sweet mechanics and gameplay. Nice assets used! The sound effects where a little bit to loud though. Looking forward to following the game and playing it when you put it on steam!

Developer(+2)

Thank you for checking out my game! You can play it in your browser, no need to download anything. All feedback is welcome, as I plan to touch up and release some form of this game in the near future (probably on Steam)!
