Fun game, though I'm not 100% sold on the drag-and-drop mechanic. I'd love to see this developed a bit more.
Fun premise for a game, but for me I think it needs to be more wild and crazy for it to be fun.
Cool game idea with very nice presentation. However, sometimes I felt a bit too little in control, with some situations where I just didn't have the cards necessary to not lose a heart, even if I just threw out the rest of the ones on my current hand
cool idea, the music was great
Thanks! I tried your game too, I failed badly the first two times but I managed to reach 280 but then I slipped on a banana skin haha. neat little game and nicely polished for only 48 hours
I absolutely rocketed through by just throwing cards on my vehicle haha - not sure if this is intended but i may have broken your speed counter! Fun game but could do with a few more features and polish to take it to the next level!
I really like the concept and it was executed very well. At times the game felt a bit slow so would have liked the minimum speed to be faster. I really liked how your goal was dependant on what car you were! Overall, this made for a very fun entry!
This made me hungry for a real-time card game!
Really a great idea implemented wonderfully in this short span of time, the huge effect of RNG throw me off a bit, but this is really fun!
You should have prayed to RNJesus instead of letting him take the wheel
Nice concept!
Never thought that slay the spire type games could be implemented on a more real time action game.
In my opinion, constant speed may make the game smoother, so that it doesn't get either too bogged down or in hyper speed, which forces the player to wait it through. I think speeding up through the course of time may be nice.
Really liked the car-type-changing mechanism, it forces player to make decisions on dodging or ramming the people.
I liked the concept (and really liked the music!) but I don't know if it's just me but I never really got much in the road? I did get scooters and benches, but they never got close enough to be a threat!
We didn't have time to implement any weighted randomness to stop certain types appearing too often so if youre unlucky it can end up as just 1 type of object spawning over and over again, it's definitely something I would update later for sure, thanks for playing
Nice game, pretty fun. Would have enjoyed some hotkeys to play cards as dragging them got tiring.
Yeah I know what you mean, I actually had some keybindings set up for it (just using 1 - 5 on the numpad) but I forgot to add it in before submitting the project
Cool game! I had a little bit of a rough time figuring out what the "injured people" were. Thought they were kids in strollers or something at first ha. I wish I had more real estate out front so I could plan my cards a little more, but otherwise, cool concept!
You'll find more "inured people" if you play your game in real life ;)
Fun concept, although dragging the cards to play them is a little unwieldy.

very cool, music is awesome and mixing that two genre is brilliant
Very cool, however adding a highscore function would help the game out alot more.
Yeah sadly the score screen at the end is very lackluster, it was a very rushed implementation tbh, a leaderboard would have been a great addition
Cool concept! Very original. I wish you could re-deal your hand using the hands on the right. Maybe the drawback could be you could run out of cards?
You are totally right, I was actually trying to think of a good way to re-deal but I couldn't think of a good drawback for it before the submission
