It took quite a few tries (at least 10) before I finally beat the zombie horde :O. There were a few times were I was off by just a few :'(. I really enjoyed the depth of strategy that existed with just a few combinations. I tried a bunch of things such as get a few mid-tier weapons and then a dumpster and axe everything so you draw consistent damage, as well as buy as much caffeine as possible to get a huge chain going haha. Each strategy felt really unique which is surprising for a such a small game :).
A couple things I noticed that seemed off:
- The caffeine card was labeled as drawing 1 card, but it seemed to always give 2 cards (I say seems to because I never saw it give one when I was paying attention at least).
- The end turn prompt that pops up if you have an action card and an action, I could see that being helpful to popup if you have any playable cards (attack/scavenge cards) because there were a couple times I clicked Z on accident and also when I was learning the controls (there isn't anything - that I saw - that says Z ends the turn in the instructions).
- For me it would feel better if the cursor wasn't automatically moved from the hand to the scavenge deck once you've played your last card. At first it felt nice that it would do it when I'd play all my cards, but I quickly found it getting in the way more often than not.
- When using the dumpster card, I'd often use it last to get rid of leftover cards I didn't want, but since you have to hold down the X button, it'd often purchase the first scavenge card (which never was the one I wanted) making it very irritating.
- There were also a few times when in the early game, I'd just play all my cards quickly but I'd click one too many times and buy an item I didn't care for, or didn't even see what it was.
