Hi, thanks for playing it!
You're totally right about the RNG-ness of it. It was made for a 9 day game jam and we didn't have the mechanics solidified until half-way through. There was no time to balance the game unfortunately.
Great ideas! At the moment I want to take a break from it, but if I ever come back, I definitely want to introduce decks and remove the randomness as much as possible, as well as add cards with actions other than simple number increase/decrease.
Thank you again for taking the time to play and comment!
