That was a lot of fun, even with the bug (also impressive you managed to get a workaround in time), I kept coming back to try & get more cards in my deck to verse the different heroes. I great level of variety was achieved with only a few changing variables; which is impressive.

The pixel art worked really well with the style as well. & I'm not sure if there was sound; mine wasn't playing?

Well done on getting it done in time.

This is good, but there is a lot of bugs, and a tutorial would have been very useful here. :)

Really fun, and a cool idea!

I ran into an issue that might be a bug (besides the freezing bug you mention): when I got to the HQ mission, it seemed to just go on forever? Eventually I had such a massive horde of guys that any hero that dared to show his face got utterly annihilated immediately. Was I supposed to do something else there?

Also, a lot of the times the heroes in normal battles (and in the HQ one) would run off the side of the screen and my dudes would just run off the screen with them, and come back a bit later with blood on their hands. I.e. it feels like the area they could move in was bigger than the area I could see. I tried making it fullscreen, but it just put the small window into a large black box and didn't fix the issue.

But all that is just bugginess; the gameplay loop was fun and seems solid. More unit types and stuff would help make this game more variable and interesting over the long term, but obviously there was limited time! I also enjoyed the traits the heroes had to give them strengths and weaknesses. Very cool.

Many people had the idea of "you control the villain", but this game actually delivers on that promise really well. It really feels like you're trying to overwhelm the hero with your minions! It's also really fun to place the monsters and to think about your strategy and about possible weaknesses of the hero.

Obviously there was limited time, but I feel like it would get exponentially better if the player had more minion types! Personally I also didn't figure out how to progress and get better minions, or that map with the castle that's on the itch page 🤔

The game was fun and nicely executed! Looking nice , some music and effects would make it pop more, I like the idea of the different units and traits on heroes but I wish it was a bit better explained which does what. I'm not sure how the fight for HQ goes but it felt a bit repetitive, the missions where more fun.

Cool idea and use of the theme, a little hard to understand at first.
