Thanks for your observations.
Very little of the time was spent on art, it's all royalty free stuff that's attributed in the description.
Good observation about the colors. I actually want to try to finish this game closer to my original concept once the voting period is over.
It's a shame, I put a lot of stuff into making it so that each and every rune would correspond to exactly one counter rune and started working on a system to have the runes be randomized. But I looked at the clock and it was clear there wouldn't be time to finish that. So I focused on getting the minimum viable product ready. Almost all of the last .5 hours went into getting the runebook ready as the game is sheer guesswork without it.
