This game was right up my street, I love these kind of games. I really like the simplicity of the gameplay loop and upgrading your deck and stats. While playing it I wish there were more cards and unique synergies and more different snails and more different map elements.

I think you are going to win the final, I think you deserve to.
I think in terms of gameplay you showed a lot of cool stuff during the GDKO, I really enjoyed playing your games. Very impressive everything that you made. Good luck with your main project! I will keep following you :D

This is an engaging and unique game. I loved the subtle animations and sense of urgency. Haha funny for a snail race. Got my heart pounding when the baddies would sneak up on me. The balance of when to upgrade vs. when to save money for betting is really nice. Great that you were able to find assets that worked and held together. 

It's been such a great pleasure jamming alongside you all of these months! You're a naturally talented game designer with clever ideas and your own sense of style, too. Looking forward to staying in touch. :D

I really liked this take on a deck game with gambling incorporated. This was well done and felt like the options were well balanced and fair even with the randomness involved. Well done.
