Thanks! We were happy with how much we could fit in in just the 48 hours! Being able to mix and match the cards really helped with adding variance to the decisions, which we liked a lot. Glad the dialogue struck a good chord as well!

There were many times during testing that we accidentally rolled over ourselves in the second stage by playing too aggressively in the tutorial stage, so we're happy that playing against a copy of yourself provides a unique difficulty curve.
In the current build the moves are all one to one, so if the round continues longer then it won't have any moves to pull from. Because of this we've found that focusing on surviving early by playing a lot of cards in their defensive form allows you to roll over the opponent once they stop playing units. After the voting period, we'll probably cycle back to this and give the whole game a balance pass.
Thanks! It isn't heavily pointed out in the game, but it's an extra layer of strategy to pay attention to once you figure it out. After the voting period, we'll probably go back and clean up some parts of the game including making it a bit more obvious that that's what's happening. The offense vs defense decision is my personal favorite part of the game, glad you liked it!
Using the dice faces as beat subdivisions is a super interesting take on the theme. Trying to pick out if a beat was just two eighths or two offbeat 16ths was fun. I really appreciated that you could separate out the tracks from each other, as it made it much easier to be able to focus on one track at a time. Great work!
Interesting take on the theme! My one critique is that it was quite frustrating when I would assign two medics to a particular patient, and then they would have lived even if I hadn't assigned anyone, or they would have died even if the medics hit max roll. It made it feel like the only thing that really mattered was how well the survivor's roll was, which led to occasions where I would have more patients with no assigned medics survive than the ones I actually assigned medics to. Other than that, the atmosphere and storytelling through gameplay was well done. The stretching of the staff mechanically making it highly unlikely to be able to save everyone delivers well on the established mood.
