The design is interesting, however i was not able to understand how to properly play it.

I played it way more than I expected but I couldn't win, I mean, I don't know if you can win but I had fun! One of my favorites!

There's no win condition, it's just getting the highest score possible. I'm glad you like it though!!

Interesting concept and mechanics!

As someone else said, it'd be good if unused cards went back into your deck. Or if only the cards that the enemy killed were binned off, as it seems you'll hit a point where you dont have enough cards left to kill an enemy.

Interesting idea, just needs to say what the upcoming enemy's health will be so you can plan for it.

This is a cool idea! Kinda gives me the vibes as gemcraft with the defense idea :)

I liked the idea, and it didn't felt like "another tower defender" game. I wish the unsued cards could be kept by the player (as they will get a limited amount of money to keep up with an already limited about of cards in the deck), and it would be cool to polish the UI to fit the theme. Overall, I hope you expand on this concept, because I like the idea of using a deck of cards as your way to play tower defender (also, protecting the dragon is a good idea for a game). Good work

I really like the idea, and I like how it's implemented although I have to say I found a slight bug in which if you spam the start round button it keeps spawning another attacker to defend yourself from, which can result in some interesting results. That aside, the actual game and how you spend your money is pretty fun.

I like the idea of the game, that you have to place cards to defend against the hero, that you would normally play.

The art on the hero looks great, the animations are also really smooth.

A bit more polishing and stuff like that, and this could be a really great game.

very fun, reminds me of the card game Boss Monster
