The art is great and the cutscenes are really cute. I am still a little confused with what is going on and most of the time I am just staring without knowing what to do. What is the bottom orange bar? Is that for the bees that come? Why? What are the 3 different numbers in the health bar. What are the 5 boxes under the names at the top? Is honey the gold? What does it mean when a card buffs for “one turn”? What is “one-turn”? There are lots of cards may be, some basics about the cards could be added in the game page. Also, I cannot tab-out of the auto-battle as it pauses as soon as the game loses focus. Maybe add an option to speed things up? Also, is it really multiplayer? When I see someone’s name, is that a deck someone used? Is that someone online right now? Can I chat with them?

It's asynchronous pvp, when you play your cards and stats are recorded for each level. People who play after you have a chance to play against your build.
Auto-battlers are fairly popular games these days with lots of numbers flying all over the place. It’s the type of game that you have play a few times to really understand what’s going on. It already sounds like you are starting to get some of it. Yes, the bar at the bottom does indicate when the bees are about to come out, honey is gold (I thought it fit the theme of the bees). Everything is color coded as well, so all the healing cards are purple and purple numbers appear when you heal, green for poison, yellow for shields and so on. The boxes under the player names show how many wins they currently have against other players. Some of this is explained at the bottom of the game page, but if I go into too much detail for a game jam that will turn off people.
Thank you for playing.
