Really nice polish with good progression in the design over time. Pretty tough to wrap my head around, but I eventually got a hang of it. I like it best when I realized ways I could use the mobility spells in combination with other movements and attacks. A little frustrating that the vertical attacks seemed useless against the final boss resulting in several repeatedly useless hands. Great work!

I didn't even make it past the tutorial...

I found this game way too hard. Part of this is probably just me, but other parts of it just felt unfair. The "maybe just me" part is that I found it difficult to keep track of which cards I had and select the right ones while also avoiding enemy attack. The "just felt unfair" parts, well, it's probably better to just list them out:

• When you're hit, there's a LONG cooldown period where you can't use any cards, including defensive/evasive cards that would help you get out of a sticky situation. This makes those cards feel almost useless.
• Whether you have the right card for the moment or not is up to RNG. You can redraw, but that takes time, and might not get you what you need either.
• Enemies are massive bullet sponges, and you don't get a lot of offensive cards (at least in the part of the game I played). It was suggested I try to combo for more damage, but I rarely got more than one offensive card to combo with.
• There are just a ton of enemies, and not a lot of room to evade them all.

I was also confused about the health bars; I thought the one on top was for Sylvanna, but it seems to be for something else, and the one on the bottom is Sylvanna's health.

I'm not sure if "save system implemented for non-gamers" is a backhanded insult or just an odd choice of wording.

Gameplay aside, I liked the premise and humourous intro a lot, though I'm not sure how much narrative is in the game itself. The art is very nice, it has a great high-quality indie look to it. The sound effects work well, and the music may not be original but is well-chosen.

There's clearly a ton of work put into this game, and a lot of it is quality, but it just didn't click for me.

Interesting concept. I didn't like not knowing what cards you're going to get, often you get ones that are completely useless in the situation. This goes especially for the final boss, which is pretty unfair. Of your offensive spells, 2 are basically impossible to hit the boss with, 2 of them only do a tiny amount of damage, 1 does slightly more, and 1 actually does some decent damage... but that strategy involves you taking at least 5 points of damage in the process... Also hitboxes are too unforgiving. Other than that I think this could be very fun if you were more likely to roll a useful hand.

This is a cool concept, and with a little polishing/iterating I think it could be really great!

The pixel art is good, and the audio all works well. While it doesn't seem super deep, I appreciate having the short intro story to set the stage! That always works better for me than just a "start" button and then fighting. I especially liked the "comic-style" presentation.

The gameplay itself is pretty hard. i had trouble keeping track of my spells and shuffling fast enough, especially when dodging/avoiding got more complicated. That said, some of this may be on me. I'll probably give it a few more rounds later and see if I can't push further. But I do think the gameplay feels like it needs just a little something else as it currently stands... I'm not exactly sure what, but something to smooth out the main loop of avoid/attack.

I encountered a bug that tripped me up on the third battle screen (i had gotten the "jump" card"). An enemy knocked me into the next screen, with the save-point. They then followed me onto that screen. I could walk back to the previous screen, but then I was stuck there, and the enemies didn't follow this time. I could no longer progress and had to restart.

Overall, I think this game has a lot of potential! What's here is already great work, and with some more dev time it could really stand out! Yet another Construct user too! I'm a big fan of Construct :)

Really enjoyed this game! It is not easy to play with a keyboard, but much smoother with a gamepad. Honestly keeping everything in check is quite hard, but imo the generous hitpoints and checkpoints make it up.  I liked the idea of having randomized-ish attacks in this type of game, even though it falls a bit when the player  gets a hand full of spells they don't need right now (like three double jumps), but as we can easily reshuffle our hand it stays easily manageable. Anyway, liked it a lot, thank you!

the mechanic is very creative and fun. but as other say, it may need some fine tune. I indeed die a lot  during the game. Luckily there is checkpoint.

for the final boss, it's frustrating but i defeat the boss with a strategy . 1. focus on dodging and shuffle until there is invincible. 2. if there is invincible and attack, trigger invincible and attack at point blank  3. if only invincible, trigger invincible and shuffle .

clearly I didn't play this game long enough (based on the other comments) ... I was just frustrated with the controls and lack of motivation (story, art or other) ...

Overall the game played well but I think the design attempt here just doesn't work well, but it was a good experiment.

This game has a really cool concept and really good art, but some of the elocution of mechanics and gamefeel leave a few thins to be desired.

For example, if you think of the basic gameplay loop of an action platformer as  a cycle of avoiding enemies and their attacks while looking for an opening to hit back, and executing the strike upon finding it there's an important difference between the split second reaction incorporated into avoiding damage and attacking, which is generally more planned out and initiated by the player. This is to say for surviving to feel good your tools need to be readily available, easy and quick to execute, while attacks can be more involved and complicated. 

This being said having important tools for avoiding enemies, such as double jump and dash, bound to random keys by the card system, made them a somewhere between awkward and unusable for split second reactions. This issue was compounded as more cards were unlocked and it became increasingly likely to not have an attack when you wanted to deal damage, or a movement option when you needed one.

I'm not sure what might be good options for addressing any of these, but I thought they were at least points worth considering.

on a more basic scale the game was fun and easy to learn and get into with minimal explanations required, which is always a plus.

The character did feel a bit clunky do to a lack of control over the jump height and feeling oddly heavy with how quickly she fell.

Still a really groundwork with awesome art.
