Given that you only had two weeks for this, I'm rather impressed. Deckbuilders are hard to get good balance going. And while I can see places where it could improve: The lack of deck thinning meant that your deck just got unwieldy after a while, the 'hit all bacteria' was the most powerful card, along with clear all toxins, that sort of thing; I just appreciate that the game gave me a little optimization puzzle. At first I didn't like the discard system, but I realize now that I've played it, it works great with the real time mechanic and needing to get to the button. Overall really worthwhile!

Thanks for playing through and the good feedback.
I definitely found out that making a deck building style game balanced within this period is a challenge, especially as I lost at least a week of work due to sickness and work but it was a good experience for sure!
I am happy you had the patience to get into the real time part of the game properly, the idea was to create a bit of a chaotic and maybe overwhelming feeling towards later parts, introducing also a bit of a mechanical challenge.
I'll be sure to check yours out tonight!
