I almost fell into the zone playing this game… once the actual mechanics clicked.
The visuals are excellent and everything works together really nicely! The audio in the game accompanies those visuals amazingly well too! Kinda wish there was some music during gameplay, though. The ambient wind sound works well for the setting, but a nice bit of music would have added just that little extra. Not a huge issue though.
While I understand the time constraints of a game jam, I think a little extra explanation of the game mechanics would have really helped… at least my old brain. I nearly gave up on this game as I couldn’t figure out how to play any cards other than the weapon cards. Took me an embarrassingly long time to realize there was a money cost. Once I figured that out, however, it was smooth sailing.
Ultimately, I think with an assortment of extra cards and a variety of enemy types, this could turn into a really fun indie game!! Excellent entry!
