You've legitimately got something here, please polish this up, refine the mechanics (something to reduce the randomness of dice a bit at least), and release this game on Steam. No joke if you want to collaborate hit me up, I'd love to work on this game.
The music reminds me of Earthbound and the graphics help sell that vibe which is a good one to go for considering the success of Undertale. The animations were nice, the systems were well thought out and implemented, and I don't think I saw one bug. I want to keep playing (did 2 rounds) but I have other games to rate.
This is the first time I've ever bookmarked a game jam game to come back to and play more later.
Some random ideas:
- Let me draft my own deck
- Add cards that permanently alter the energy so I can scale up as the battle goes on. Enemies out-scaled my damage too much
(I'm not sure naming an enemy "Brazilman" is cool though...)
Feel free to check out my game, we went the auto battler route and have a really simplified version of your game: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam-2022/rate/1620487
