A pretty enjoyable game -- once you get over the quirky card-throwing mechanic. The graphics were simple, but effective; the animations were nice. Some audio (even basic sound effects) would be nice, as well as a health bar. A mechanic to pick up the fallen cards would also be interesting.
The curved throwing was interesting, but it didn't seem put to any good use. I thought maybe it was a way to attack multiple enemies at the same time, but it didn't seem to do anything to guys in the way of the curve. Speaking of other guys, I ended up with a crowd of them following me, since there didn't seem to be enough cards to kill everyone, and the AI never gives up once it's got your scent. Really interesting idea, but it needs some more thought to give a purpose to the curving idea.
I think the slow-mo effect when you throw a curved card was fun and very satisfying, but I didn't find much use for it. I had a hard time winning because there was a very limited amount of cards, and I found myself not having much time to use the cool card throwing mechanic.
