Quite liked the deckbuilding aspects but had very little idea what led to a good performance, haha. Enjoyed the pseudo-volumetric effect

I love the idea. Everything is ok, but I am bad playing this game. Idea is really new and nice. Nice work!
absolutely love the deckbuilding aspect with pixel art style!
Really interesting game. Loved the graphics! Could be a lot of fun with some more polish and different challenges. I'll watch the project page to see what you keep adding to it!
I wanted to try your game but the window is just black. I tried both the original and the post-compo. Let me know if you've been able to fix it and I will come back to try again.

I didn't quite grasp how to get the highest score but it was a lot of fun. I was just spamming plants but could see that there is some strategy to work with.
@reax - I don't know what could be causing that, so I've added more error logging to both versions of the game. If you (or anyone else) run into the error again, please do the following so I can figure it out:
1. From the start menu search for "Event Viewer" and open it 2. Go to Windows Logs -> Application 3. There is probably a new error near the top (if you already had it open, you might need to click refresh from the Action menu) 4. Look for one an Error with an event ID of 1313 and click it 5. Look for "MSG" STACK" and "INNER" in the text on the bottom 6. Please let me know what those say
@juxipolo Here you go mate. ``` The following information was included with the event:
MSG: File loading error: ScaledFont base/font/medium bold STACK: INNER: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. at System.Number.ParseSingle(String value, NumberStyles options, NumberFormatInfo numfmt) at GameLib.fileUtils.
Tricky to understand at first, but after a couple of plays, really got into it. Excellent for a jam game!
@reax - Thank you so much! That was exactly what I needed to fix the bug!
I've updated both versions of the game - this should be fixed now.
@juxipolo Nice, it works now. I'm very much into drones my self and this drone planting concept is really cool to see in a game. It was interesting to play. An idea if you want to extend the game, would be if you could attack your enemies, or maybe if you could use an aggressive plant to eradicate enemies plants or such. I think some sort of combat mechanic would add an additional dimension to the game.
You mentioned in your video that cards in a real-time game didn't turn out so well. But I disagree, I think the implementation of this card system works quite well. But of course like any game, things can be tuned forever. Especially when it's made in less than 3 days!
