It was enjoyable, although the candies constantly hitting me in the "face" was quite annoying after a while. I wish the candies zoomed elsewhere and not smacking me in the face. ><; It was also kind of confusing, some of the cards...making you pick between things that ...I couldn't really tell what they were or what it did and after..what effect had taken place. It left me mostly confused.
(edit: I just read that this candy smack face option could be turned off. Nice.)
Interesting concept, the graphics feel very distinctive and cute, the operation is very easy to get started, you can figure out what is going on very quickly but there are some strategies.

The art is amazing!!! I love the little dances they do. I thought the gameplay was a little difficult for me to understand at the start but after playing a few rounds, I found myself really enjoying my experience :) Well done~~~

The style of Adventure Time, is nice))
I really enjoyed this. However being under constant treat threat I would have liked for the game to pause when you open the inventory to read and select abilities. I only found out at the end that every ability has both an active and a passive. Also the gain an extra ability card stopped working after I picked my first extra ability, I would have loved to see what the other ability did.
Incredible art, well done! Animations are funny too. Overall everything looks well polished

The art is great. The game is fun but a little hard to understand, it needs time to figure out how the cards work
My abilities indeed stonk. Nice game!
Such a cute and fun artstyle! Felt like I was playing some kind of cartoon. :D

Very beauty, and fun. Needs more attention on gameplay. Make me feel in Adventure Time story!

Really cute. But I found the gameplay a bit confusing. What is making my health drop? is it the thrown candies or the monsters getting close? Also I eventually understood that biting was one of my abilities, but before that I was wondering why it only sometimes works.
I think it would be funny if the monsters came out from behind the bushes :)

The art and atmosphere is fantastic. The game is very challenging maybe because it is a little confusing at first, but I had a lot of fun with it.

Really liked the art and overall look of the game. It had a certain charm and uniqueness to it. Liked the music aswell. The gameplay was a bit confusing, was sometimes a bit difficult for me to understand what was going on or what to do. Overall great job!
Neat Game! I really liked the art (and the AT easter eggs!) It was pretty tough though! I beat it, but only after using the cheat :( but still liked it. Good Job!
The mood ! the mood is great (maybe because candy butts are my kink xD ) Great game, a bit confusing on the start, but I like chaos and it has some in it GG !

This is some amazing art and the gameplay was smooth and pretty well thought out for a jam game. Would have liked to see a bit more impact when using cards and like some have said above the candies hitting in the face was a bit annoying after a while. great entry!

@bredera you can disable that in the menu 😊 we thought it was funny at first so we kept it but you can disable it when it gets annoying after a while.

The graphics and the music are truly unique and polished! Was a bit confused by the gameplay though. What's missing I think is attack feedback. Had no idea, if my attacks are hitting something. Good job anyway!
Fantastic Adventure Tiem-esque art! Loved it alongside the general vibe of the game. It is quite hard to play currently but I feel like with a slower paced beginning would help quite a lot. And as other people mention some more feedback on what is happening when would be nice, maybe the ability boxes having some animation when they activate.
i really enjoyed the artwork as well as the easy going music. the enemy characters were fun and resembled adventure time vibes.
Amazing concept.Id like to play again and again
I had trouble figuring out what was going on as well but the art was great, the music was cheerful and the game had a great vibe! Feels very well done!

You're clearly Adventure Time fans and I'm pretty sure I saw Finn on one of the cards :P Over all I really liked the gameplay concept, but it definitely needs some more time balancing. I'd also recommend you remove the pause when changing modifiers, as it really breaks the combat flow!

It was quite confusing at first, not sure what I did but I won! I love this Adventure Time vibes and this little music fits well with the game!

@almax I added that after jam to ensure people could play the game :) A lot of people were having issues with the complexity of the game. (absolutely my mistake as a designer...) There's an option to disable that feature in the menu.
Gostei muito! tá bem carismático seu game
