Mom is my hero!

I love deck builders! It would have been really cool to start with less cards I think, to make the games slightly shorter and accentuate the deck builder aspect.

However for a jam it's very cool! congrat

Wow, cool game! Simple deckbuilder, but it works quite well. Good job. Unfortunately, the audio didn't seem to work for me, but oh well.

Very cool deckbuilding game! I loved the concept and the theme application on each card! I would've loved to be able to check my deck so that I know what to take in between waves. Great work regardless!

- Theme:  Main tie in was the sleeping kid

- Fun:  This had an entertaining loop

- Controls: The controls were a little difficult to use, especially when there were more cards in hand

- Graphics:  Card artwork was good and the animations added a lot

- Audio:  None

- A11y:  No feedback

- Originality:   Similar to other deck builders. I think there were some interesting ideas to build upon, but this is a good foundation.

How many shoes does this boy have?

I was able to get to the third night, hopefully I didn't miss out on anything. Nice challenging game. I stuck with throwing shoes, what strategies worked for others?
