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!

Submitted

Art is amazing!)

Submitted

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!

Submitted

The art and animations are very slick here. Agree with others that a zoom feature on the cards would be great. 

Submitted

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 :)

Submitted

Love the art style of this game! The drawing of new cards animation is also very nice. Great job guys!

Submitted

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!

Submitted

The art style is beautiful, can't wait to see this game expand more! 

loop backwards is... pool :0
I could absolutely see this developing further, Absolutely gorgeous art!!!

Submitted

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!

Submitted

The art style is beatiful! The only thing I would say is that the cards are diffucult to read. Great job

Submitted

The game is fun, but as many people have also said, the cards are hard to read

Submitted

Really good artstyle very cool and i love the vibes so much, writing was a little hard to read though, but cool!

Submitted

Great game. I love the art style as well. I did notice a few glitches here and there (Like being able to hold cards from your old hand), but other than that I think it could be a great game if you finish it.

Submitted

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!

Submitted

Nice! - Love the atmosphere and would definitely have played more!
Great job!

Submitted

I loved the art style! On my laptop it was a bit hard to read the card descriptions.

Submitted

Great sound and card design ! But I don't think its fits with loop theme :(

Submitted

Great art style. I do not see the rougelike parts.

Submitted

Awesome art and the card system felt nice! Had some trouble reading the cards though :)
