Cool concept!  Very stressful gameplay!  Physics weren't very predictable and could use some work.

This is a really interesting concept! Very clever. However, the randomization makes it a bit tricky to really plan out your moves. Maybe refreshing your whole hand with each time the cards are dealt could alleviate some of the difficulty and add a bit more control over your moves. Really good work!

A cool concept for sure. I watched you on stream make this game, right up until the eleventh hour. If only you had an extra few hours!

It was a bit difficult to get into this one - I needed some sense of direction to strategise. It was also a bit odd because the player would continue to bounce back and forth, defying gravity a bit, as well as the framerate of the player slowing down, and the collisions all running at 90 degrees. 

Does the player being a dice come into it at all?

Either way, great work on submitting a game! There is definitely a card-based move sequence idea here to explore further, I think! With more time and energy, this could turn into a really interesting and unique platforming experience

I wanted to let the player move the camera around the scen, but I didn't have the time.

BTW the framerate slowing down is intentional, when you are choosing your cards the player slows down to 25% speed. I didn't want the player to freeze completely and for it to be too easy.

I love the idea of selecting moves from your hand and watching them play out. It adds some really interesting strategy that would lend itself well to some good puzzles. On my computer (in browser), the cards were cut off both on top and bottom (moreso at the top), so it was a bit difficult to recall exactly what I had planned before commiting my hand.

Did you not press the fullscreen button, I never had any visual problems when I was in fullscreen.

That was the issue; playing in full screen cleared it up. Cheers!
