Love the interpretation of the theme!
* In the main menu and tutorial, the fact that it uses the same time track mechanic made me instantly understand how it works without needing to explain it. It also made it feel coherent and fun :) * When solving a level, there's a lot of guess-and-check which makes it feel clunky. Maybe if I could rewind time to a specific time on the track, instead of restarting the level each time?
I like the concept of deploying different cards to evade a patrol while building power to overwhelm them! The intro instructions were a bit dense but it all made more sense once I started playing.
+ While committing cards, needing to trade off power vs. stealth and time was interesting. + The flavor text on the cards added nicely to the theme (small bladed weapon, decoy, etc.) - Because it's a game of balancing numbers, I was just looking at the numbers and missed the flavor text. Maybe there's a way to tie the two together? - The difference between what I'm committing this turn vs. what's on the game field was confusing (ie. can I commit 10 seconds per turn? Or entirely on the game field at once?)
