I love these kind of deck builder games! The floppy disk aesthetic for the cards is really cool. The pixel art is cute. Might be an improvement to increase the size of the character sprites during the battle sequences. It must have been a challenge to balance out a deck builder game, you did a great job!

fun fact originally the resolution was much smaller 320x180 but it was extended to 950x540
Even though it made the pixel art harder to see it was a decision I think was in the best interest if the game.
Having such a small screen limited how many enemies we could display on the screen or how many status effects we could have at one point.
It was also hard to display cards alongside the game since cards had to be small enough to be in the small screen space.
Overall I made the screen larger to make it easier to display more info but then I noticed that it was harder for the small pixel art to look good.
But you are totally right, atm the large screen space definetly isnt working in the favor of the gorgeous pixel art! We will find ways to make it work better in the future for sure!
It definetly was one of those decisions where it limited too much design space for the cost of aesthetics.
