An Arm and a Leg

Oooh, a card game! I'd give my liver for more of those! :syringe:

My score

I survived **445 hours**! _considering that I got bored of micromanaging and started clicking randomly after a while, I think that's pretty good, hehe_

Feedback

Game

The mechanics are great and **remind me of [Reigns by Nerial and Devolver Digital](https://www.devolverdigital.com/games/reigns)**!

It was **very hard to understand the mechanics** directly from the game, though. Perhaps a better UI is needed?

I loved how the **effects of every card were thematically meaningful**! I didn't really enjoy how almost **everything makes you draw two more cards**, which eventually would end up getting burned without you having almost any control over it.

It seems it's really hard to find a work in this economy... Maybe **more "Work" cards in the starting deck** would've been nice?

Too bad for the complete absence of sound, I think it would've made the game funnier or more serious, while right now **the mood is a bit lacking**.

Great job overall! :smile:

Distribution

Thanks for **providing a HTML5 build**! Since I am playing on Linux, I appreciated it!

**The game does not run on Firefox**. (It probably requires `SharedArrayBuffer`, which is not currently supported.) It's not your fault, but I figured I should be letting you know!

It's so weird you haven't got any comments yet :sob:

I think this was a fun little game! I only got a score of 154, but that's ok lol. I got a bit overwhelmed by the number of cards in my hand toward the end, but overall I enjoyed the game quite a bit!

Only got 181! I really like the theme and the cards. Why there are so many bills (in game and real life :') )? You're just missing the 'do the dishes card' (unless I missed it) and then you would've capture the essence of life. I was a bit confused by the cards and wasn't able to fully figure out how to make it through longer but I was really intrigued by the game and think it could become something really interesting. Great work!

I survived 513 hours! It was fun, I do love me an interesting card game concept. I will note that at the size that the game is displayed in the LD page, it's a bit difficult to read the card text. Would have loved an option to enlarge individual cards to read them. Otherwise, I liked it!

Had a lot of trail and error with your game. I love the idea of a card game take on harvesting organs. It was a weird game (in a good way) and I wasn't very good so I got to experience a lot of the fail screens which were a laugh. Cool game!
