This game really stood out to me for its visuals and gameplay offered. Really excellent game. Well done!

Your game has really cool visuals! The amount of time it took for the cards to take effect on the battlefield did make me feel like I was more distantly involved in the struggles... until giant centaurs came out. There are some neat ideas here!

Visuals are really well done. Loved the concept of trying to balance both sides against each other, rather than trying to get one side to "win"

Not much strategy to the game though. You play positive cards on the side that's winning, and negative cards on the side that's losing.

This is a really cool take on the theme. Having humanity be the tiny creatures from the perspective of the greek gods is something I never would've thought of. I really like the take on winning where you don't want either side to win and want to try and balance the conflict as long as possible. Really highlights the futility of war. Great entry. Well done.

@zhuub,Yes, the current game strategy is the direction we need to adjust, as the balance is a bit difficult to achieve. Additionally, the scoring system for negative cards and effect cards is different. Therefore, the use of positive and negative cards will vary depending on different battle situations.

Love the visuals and overall theme, they really stand out. I think you need some more variety for the gameplay loop though. More sprites would be cool too, but I understand why that's difficult.

This style is very fun! The technique is interesting, while I was playing I enjoyed the game!

Really unique idea and the execution is solid here. I am curious to see how this would work out in a non-jam version. It would probably be a slower game. Great art and sounds too

Amazing art style. Immediately hooked to it.

i've always been a sucker for greek mythology, and you incorporating it's elements in your project is pure eye candy for me

This reminds me so much of an old flash game I used to play. Very fun concept! and the art style is absolutely great!
