LD41 — Combine 2 Incompatible Genres

I'm very glad I went back and noticed the note about Chrome issues--in my experience, the button jamming wasn't just occasional but happened every time I tried to move to discard on turn 2 (during all five attempts to play). Switched browsers and, as expected, had no issues.

This is an *extremely* charming game. The art and animation is wonderful, the sound adds so much, and the card system is very elegant and simple. The first few turns do feel a little like you're at the luck of the draw as to whether you get blocked in or not, but maybe I'm missing something--and the games are quick enough that even if this happens, it's not terrible.

The one suggestion I would make is that after you select your play and before you select your discards, in addition to being shown everyone else's speed, you get shown their planned sideways movement too. It wouldn't be relevant most of the time, but there would be rare instances where it could strategically influence what you choose to retain.

Out of curiosity, what all is in the deck? Are 4 cards generated from a pool of options every turn or is there an actual card list that gets randomized and drawn from throughout the game?

Great game!

Thanks for the feedback, @nikaoto! I agree that visual and auditory feedback would be major improvements but I got a late enough start that I just couldn't get around to those extra touches. As for instructions, in the past I've put possibly *too much* explanation for my games that people have struggled to read it all, so I guess this time I erred too far in the other direction! 😜
