I liked the styling of it! The name generation at the start made me laugh, and I liked the description of the investments as well. The integration of the theme was unexpected but cool for a text-based game. Tip - it's not obvious that you can wait on the investment screen to watch your investments progress. I thought I would have to reject a lot of propositions at first...
Nice simple bullet hell game! I like the radial concept for two-buttons, and the way damage "grows" the void is really cool also. Although, without instructions, I tried to collect all the dots first.
Does the game get more challenging as you go? I was only able to reach about 30, but I noticed more and more enemies being introduced. It's a nice twist for a platformer!
I enjoy these kind of simulation games where you have to figure out what to do and toggle a bunch of levers to get it to work. There's a lot I still don't really know, but at least the game over messages help. Nice work!
I laughed at how I could shoot the other player. Would be kind of cool to see this as a more directly competitive shooter! I also liked your integration of the theme, with a "two-button" game. :)
Nice risk-reward mechanic with having to go out and collect debris while avoiding enemies. Would like to see a reason to not have the magnet on all the time (an energy meter, maybe?), and also to have the debris look more distinct from the other enemies.
Nice work! I remember playing games like this when I was younger on pen and paper, it looks like it follows the rules correctly. I'd definitely recommend aiming to add small features one at a time to this, like collision!
Simple but polished! I liked the little effects, like the button explosions and the fading text. Kind of expected some gag to happen when I clicked "No" for "want to play" at the start. :p Music is really soft and gets me in the zone, but boy does that error sound snap you out of it lol
My first two equations were both 1x1=1, so I was confused for a bit waiting for another one to appear!
Really refreshing seeing a card game on here! As someone who likes board games, I think this is extra cool. Very polished as well - progression, great art and music, and lots of humor as well. Props all around!
In terms of things I'd like to see, I can't strategize much in this game beyond managing my karma so I can have a good counter. Otherwise with a 3 card hard I'm just waiting to top-deck a good card. Also, maybe give the cards symbols as well as colors, so you can place on each card what counters which in a more readable way? Anyway great job!
