This was definitely one of my favorites. I recognize your art style from the 2024 GDKO video and I have a feeling you will go far again this year as well!
This was incredible. Even in just a few rounds I was getting a sense for different strategies to lean into to get further. I could see this being a larger game for sure! Full five stars from me!
Fun game! cool to see the bugs returning once more
VEry good and very addictive! Almost feels polished as well!
This was a lot of fun. It's pretty simple to figure out how everything works and it's so fun to get a juicy machine gun hit with a lot of buffs before it to wreck the enemies. Definitely seems like there's a lot of room to expand upon ideas in this one. I ended up making it to wave 8 on my best run. Great job!
Cool concept! I can see it goes further!
This is a cool concept. I love deckbuilders and I think there is something here but it needs some tweaks. I guess enemies will attack at some point but I feel I don’t have any control on what’s going to happen the way it is right now. Maybe you could add some secondary mechanic during the battle itself to influence the result, maybe something as simple as skiping a drawn card to play the next with some penalty?
Thanks for the feedback. I feel like the control comes from crafting the deck, removing weaker cards and trying to make sure everything synergies well. The basic coding for enemies and defensive cards is already done if I choose to continue this game.
Really fun cards, but would have liked to choose the card myself, really fun game though!
I love deckbuilding games. I had fun playing this.
Great music choices and very nicely polished game!
While playing the game I was not really sure what the two mechanics were. (I think building your deck and battling)
I think it could be very cool to extend this game with more enemies + artifacts + upgrading cards or you could try to do something crazy and be super creative and give your own spin to the deckbuilder.
I wanted to see how I ranked with the other players but I think the leaderboard is not working yet or someone hacked it.
Thank you for giving us this needed revenge that felt really good
This concept is so dope. Such a creative game, with great and simple rules. Can't wait to see you in round 2
Wooh I LOVE the art. The gameplay is also very cool. First attempt I got to level three before I realized how the "mana" worked and got to level 7 the next time. Not entirely clear what killed me but it is very interesting!
Thanks for the kind words and the playthrough. Maybe I should make it more clear, but there's a timer underneath the bee. You have 30 seconds to kill it or it's game over.
Ohh good to know!
this has lots of potential! Im surprised how complex it can get with all the mechanics you added. Also the bee being sad when you attack it makes me sad :(
It was more fun and advance that I first thought. Good job! I got to level 10 but I couldn't figure out how to save it to the leaderboard..
WELL DONE :D
Thanks for playing. The leaderboard was something I kind of threw in there last minute, I noticed the bug yesterday as well. I'm annoyed at myself.
No worries, The game was the most important part :P
Best game for me so far as I love card games and auto battlers, well done.
This game is really awesome. I like the auto play of the cards and it was clear exactly what was happening. There was a strategy for picking cards and dropping some. I'd love to see where you take this game!
Oh yeah, and the art was also amazing.
Super cool game - I love it. Can't wait to see how you're going to develop this further (I hope you do). I really liked the graphics and animations and overall gameplay - super slick. Nice one!
Cool game, It felt so good killing that bee on the start, revenge >:D
Finally, someone with some sense. It’s a giant bee, of course it has to die. Thanks for taking care of the bee problem.
One of the few games I played on repeat! All the different cards being able to carry different strategies, slowly building up a wicked deck of various types of cards, this game rocks!
Thanks, I tried really hard to give it some good variety even with such few cards.
This is insanely fun and polished. You are definitely gonna go far this year.
