Everything works well and it fits the theme nicely. I liked the different tactical options available; I mainly focused on boosting my damage when I was dealt the right cards.

I found readability an issue; it definitely could have used a clearer font and larger text. The heart icons on the card also get in the way of the text and they don't convey any useful information because all cards have hearts regardless of their use. The background changing colour doesn't help either.

A very unique idea for the theme! There are many cards to give an interesting gameplay experience! I found myself going back multiple times to vs. the AI in the game! It did, however feel a little bit easy, but overall it is a great game!

I like it, it's simple and direct, but I wish you had an artist on your team though, the experience would be even better. Nice entry!

Simple but fun little card game. With the many different ways to play it actually took some time before the fun wore off. Would have liked a bit more time spent on the visuals, and I did mute the audio quite quickly too. Thanks for the game :)

Hey interesting card game! Teaches you a lot about the value of your life vs damage vs card draw. I can see there being a fair amount of depth here when you really start to dig into it. Building up hand size early seems like it can give you a lot of value to attack later when you make multiple hits under increased damage. I'm curious what strategies you've found.

Nice idea. You need to be tactical. The music was nice too. I think it would be a good game for two players, but that's inconvenient for a Ludum Dare. Maybe for a post compo version?

@mindfungus I like increasing my max hand and then drawing a bunch of cards at once. If I get a firestorm(10 damage) from that I use double damage and then attack, doing a lot of damage. Other than that I like stealing cards from the enemies hand so their forced to draw more, dealing damage to themselves. Glad you liked it!

@goerp 2 players would be cool! If we ever get back to this then that'd be a sweet idea.

Nice card game! Really enjoy beaten Hard Ennemy!

I was not really sure what I should do but I've managed to beat the AI after a several tries :) Maybe some more instruction at the bgining could be welcomed :p Overall good job on original and well scoped gameplay!

Really fun! I'm usually not too into card games on here, but this one was challenging yet easy to pick up.

Nice idea! I liked having to balance doing things with keeping my HP up. With a bit of polish this could be a great game.
