Very nice interpretation of the topic. I really liked the controls. It was spot on and you could always blame yourself for mistakes. The only thing I wished for was Coyote Time.
Graphically it's done very well. The graphics palette was chosen wisely and suited the overall environment. In my opinion, the arrows on the cards and the damage information were much too small. Maybe you could have used different layouts.
Oh, and an issue which I found... Sometimes I'd respawn at a position where I'd die right away...
Kind of a death loop
All in all a nice entry!
