LD55 — Summoning

I was pleasantly surprised by this entry! The art style and diverse card designs really caught my eye. The concept itself was engaging, and I particularly enjoyed the dynamic game loop. It's impressive how polished the game felt, especially considering the limited development time.

However, while I enjoyed the concept, I felt it didn't entirely align with the theme. Although you win money and spend it on cards, the sense of summoning felt a bit disconnected. One way to address this could be to divide the game loop into two phases, introducing a summoning phase where players choose cards with more significant effects, and then keeping the current keeping/recycling/selling loop with the current card types for the support role.

Another suggestion would be to increase the amount of information displayed. Providing a range of current multipliers, showing both the lowest and highest values achievable with the current hand of cards, would really help to calculate your possible score.

Overall, this entry shows great potential. Keep up the fantastic work!
