As others have said, the artwork is crushing it. Would have liked to be able to zoom in on the cards, but I worked around this by using the webpage zoom. Some sfx for selecting cards and for damage would help elevate this a lot. Great work overall!

really like the artwork for this one! as others have said, a zoom feature would be nice. however, it seemed that there was a bug where you could keep holding a card whilst your hand was being redrawn, which let you keep the card into the next round. personally, i thought that this was super cool (even if it was a bug) and when you expand on the game it would be interesting to see more interactions like this!
The art and animations are very slick here. Agree with others that a zoom feature on the cards would be great.
This is a remarkably well polished game. The art and aesthetic is absolutely gorgeous and the handling of the cards is very satisfying. I would absolutely love to see this game expanded upon in the future.
Congrats on finishing the jam y'all! Y'all cooked :)
Love the art style of this game! The drawing of new cards animation is also very nice. Great job guys!
The visual flare on this game is amazing! I actually felt like I was a diver under water! I found it really hard to read the pixel font in the small window, so I had to zoom in a bit. A hit indicator and/or sound would have been really nice. Overall, super polished game!
The art style is beautiful, can't wait to see this game expand more!
Really great game, cards are a bit tough to read but once i understood the cards the symbols were easy enough to understand! wish there was more impactful sounds but over all really great and i loved the art!
The game is fun, but as many people have also said, the cards are hard to read
Really good artstyle very cool and i love the vibes so much, writing was a little hard to read though, but cool!
A lot of great potential here, really live the vibe and atmosphere. One note is that the font/text size makes the cards super difficult to read. Really liked it overall!
Nice! - Love the atmosphere and would definitely have played more!
Great job!
I loved the art style! On my laptop it was a bit hard to read the card descriptions.
Awesome art and the card system felt nice! Had some trouble reading the cards though :)
