Positives:
- I really like how each stage of the game has its own deck. Creates a good sense of progression.
- Music is solid, although it does feel a bit negative and desperate for what seems to be a more inspiring game in tone.
- I like the card illustrations that are in the game so far.
- I think it's great that the card or card slots you can click on flash. It's a great visual indicator of what I should be doing.
Negatives:
- An in-engine explanation of the game's mechanics would be nice. Even just a screen with a little text explaining the conditions for winning and losing the game would go a long way.
- Some more direction on how turns work would be nice. A piece of text explaining what turn phase the player is in within the gameplay screen and what to do in it would be really helpful.
- The text in the bottom right info box is difficult to read against its background. A darker background for that box and some bolder and larger text would help a lot with readability.
I think this game has a lot of potential - it's already got a lot of nice QoL features that I really appreciate. I'm also working on a card game: https://itch.io/jam/climate-jam-2024-production/rate/2829261, and it was very helpful to check out this one. It's given me some ideas on how to improve our game. Good luck on the final sprint!
