Really quite an interesting game. I enjoyed it. I Included it in part 3 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/81u-vDEfxwU

I actually remember that screenshot showing up on the feed! Cool to see it completed.

This is an awesome concept, and pretty well executed. My one beef is not being able to manipulate the order cards are played in, which is what gives Fluxx its strength. How else is it determined when you play "Play 2" and "Play 1" in a single turn?

Overall, though, love the concept, and it's executed well for the compo.

At first I was put off by the introduction, because the game sounded overly complex. But it played nicely and I managed to win! (Barely.) Well done.

Well, this was original. I liked the card mechanics, but moving and shooting with the keyboard was quite cumbersome. I still have mixed feelings from this game.

Very interesting game. Only criticism I see with it is it seemed like the cards I picked didn't matter. Perhaps make cards with stronger effects?

@ketura: Thanks. Yes, the order in which the selected cards are played is random (or not random, but you don't have any influence on it) Due to the lack of time, I didn't implement an ordering mechanic :/

The music was pretty cool. I managed to beat a couple rounds. However, on entering round 3, each time I selected cards, it would just auto win the round. I was fiddling with it, and looked down and saw I was in round 10! Not sure what happened there.

Nice game!

This is a great game. This would be an even better game if you could add more mobs.

I always knew in my heart that chess pieces hated snowmen. Interesting game. Controls work well. Gameplay is challenging. Good job.

Interesting game, and very creative with the game and goal changing each round! ☃-army!!

Good entry. Good idea executed fairly well. I liked it despite my hate for snowmen.

I was encountering the bug that would skip rounds as well. Incredible concept, +5 for Innovation!
