Still looks great and sounds great! 

I'm still very bad at it too. I do well but sometimes I get staggered and I don't fully understand what I can do (if anything) to avoid that then I'm killed pretty quickly.

Overall, very nice job and well done!

Super solid game here. I know there were some things I was missing due to not going over the whole rule book but it was fun regardless. I will say that Daybreak seems a lot less good than Cadence. Since Daybreak has no real way to retreat I was just going ham the whole time which worked sometimes but others not. I felt like I was the little brother mashing all the buttons in Street Fighter 2 again :D

Notice a small bug with the time line indicator not matching up to the turns when a new round starts. Other than that, lots of fun.

Great job on this :)

Hey thanks for playing!

By design the key of playing Daybreak against Cadence is to find openings and try to stagger as much as possible to interfere with the Appeal build-up  (Subdue is a very useful card, despite having 1 windup). Cadence's defense is very weak so basically if you land every Ruthless Strike you would win. But the intention is that once you get familiar with the mechanics and all the other characters (I'm planning to add more characters in the future) you wouldn't use Daybreak again. He's not meant to be weak, but he's meant to be a tutorial character that is very basic. 

Could you elaborate on the bug a little bit? Was the timeline indicator consistently wrong during that round? It could be an async issue.

I gotcha I gotcha. I could see every character being viable all the time if there was some way to alter your deck. But that's just me thinking out loud :)

As for the bug, it would happen after the first round for sure, the indicator was ahead of the actual round that was happening. I forgot to record my gameplay yesterday, but I'm going to be playing again to get footage so I'll include some screenshots here.

Great work!

All of my positive comments from the production jam applies here too. Extra details such as the trumpets for the victory screens and the icons for accessing the rulebook and opponent moves, make the game feel more complete.

There's three minor issues that are not game-breaking and can be dealt with at a later date:

  1. Minor spelling errors in the rule book:
    1. Stamina page where it says "Figher"; in "Game Flow" under "Decision", it reads "... followed by he corresponding Reposition Tme Unit".
  2. On larger screens, the text loses some clarity. I played the production version on my laptop (15.6 inch), so the text resolution looked clear. I decided to play the release version on a desktop monitor (54 inch), and the text  loses resolution. This isn't a problem on the cards or the rulebook, but it does make it slightly straining to read the character card stats and the writing on the counter piles
    1. Screenshot taken on 54-inch monitor. Minor loss in text resolution.
    2. Screenshot on 15.6 inch monitor. Screen text resolution is fine
  3. When viewing the movesets of characters, it's not obvious that you need to use the scroll wheel to scroll through the list. This didn't occur to me when playing the production version, as I was using my mouse to scroll up and down the page and then I accidentally stumbled upon the method.

Again, these are minor issues. It is still enjoyable to play, more so once you get used to the rules and are able to strategize effectively.

Thanks for playing!

I did notice that every time I resized the window the anti-aliasing goes wrong. I thought I could get away with it in the web build but it seems not. I should look into some settings. And thanks for the feedback on the spelling error and UI!

This game is super well done! I personally am not a fan of card game genre, but I can tell you put a lot of effort into this. The art does it's job really well and the mechanics are easy to enough to understand that I was get the hang of it. Good job keep it up, I'd love to against someone rather an AI someday

It's fun! Awesome to see that the HP values can be seen in real time now. Good luck with this project in the future!
