I think you should change it to a turn-based game instead, where you draw a certain amount of cards per turn, but you keep the thing where you lose health when you use too much mana

after the flowjam i'll make it so you can spend MP to speed up the draw function

thanks for the feedback

Pretty solid card auto battler! I wish the card icons and numbers explained what they were better, and I also wish that the first few battles were more forgiving. But still a really cool game :)

I'll be honest, It was very hard to tell what was happening. I think making the bars and number's have icons or some kind of visual design would help a lot.

Really fun game, and once I understood how the income vs. cost mechanic worked it was cool how many different strategies opened up. (The existing variety in the troop stats was good, though I think it could use a few more really wildly balanced cards, like a card with super high cost and high attack rate but low damage and low health, a card with a super low cost and high damage but also super low attack rate (like the ghost but cheaper and with higher damage))

I like the hand-drawn art for the cards, it feels like I'm playing a homemade card game with my friends back in elementary school. This would be a fun one to expand on and hopefully add more features to after the jam. Great game!

Cool game, reminds me a lot of Inscryption

I feel like some gameplay elements were unclear in the beginning, like what potions do, or attack cooldowns being displayed on the cards.

My friend said that too, I didn't know what inscrytion was until then,

Thanks for the feedback, I added to the description to hopefully make it more clear

Cool little game! Good work. I was terrible at, but I'm sure given time, I'd get it down pat.

Oh my goodness your game is so cool.
I actually really enjoyed playing it and improving my deck to keep playing it.
I really don't know what else to say I just really think you made something super cool here.
