super fun! easy to grasp, but it gets genuinely challenging.

Wow it was so cool. I really enjoyed playing it. Very well thought card game would like to see more of this. Well done.

The Idea of incorporating movement into the combat is magnifique. Although i don't get why i have to discard 3 cards every time i get 1 (maybe I'm just missing something though). Good game.

Thank you! You don't actually have to discard 3 cards every time, you can choose to not discard any at all and just click "Done". I knew I should have made that more clear, sorry!

Yo this has so much potential! I love card battler roguelikes, and this was super fun. Good stuff :D

Oh my god! This game deserves more visibility! Is it a solo dev project? How is it that so few people have rated it? The idea is great, mixing slay the spire with climbing is neat, and creating a game like this in just 4 days is insane—truly incredible, well done!

Developer

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. :)

Indeed, it is a solo project, which is why it's a bit janky and unpolished. Still, I am still quite happy with how much I managed to accomplish in such a short amount of time, and I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!

Wow! To be honest this is my favourite game I played so far! This is just a "simple" idea where you think: why is there no game like that already? I can already see a lot of enemy types, awesome interactions and "story"/world building.
I would love to see it as a full release! :)

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much! :)

The art is really cute and the gameplay is very fun! Adding a mage for the next update that follows you so you have a little party going up that mountain! 

Developer

Thank you! I really like that idea, I'll see if I can figure out a way to make it work!

cool idea, good job on designing this. I feel like it would be nice to have a way to heal yourself, but I guess it has to end at some point.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I opted against adding a healing card as I felt it would just have been too OP, especially since the player can back away from enemies and then heal. Although, I guess I could have made it heal everytime an enemy is defeated or something. If I expand upon the game I would probably have to something like that.
Anyways, thanks for the feedback.

Well implemented game, well done!

This is really creative and innovative I think you did really well on that! I haven't seen a deck builder like this before and it fits the theme really well!

i like it :) definitely feel the slay the spure influence, which is great cause i love that game. 

Developer

Thank you! Yes, Slay the Spire is awesome :)

Very fun strategy game, I loved the emphasis on positionment.

And the quality of life such as seeing the enemy's next move sure helped the strategy part of the game.

Very fun entry, I could see this idea be extended.

Cool idea - It definitely reminds me of Slay the Spire and Darkest Dungeon. Well done!
