Very impressive :D Well balanced, very nice art style, could use some better UI but the main mechanic works great!

Pretty cool game with interesting idea. It has a lot of potential to be honest. Great job :D
Really well done! With some polish and music this will do really well, I hope you add to it after the jam.
Very nice and quite impressive for such a short timeframe! I got to wave 5 :D I agree with the movement indicator and ability to cancel a card that was mentioned in another comment. A few other suggestions:
- Add a max health indicator, like 3/5
- Add a way to read the whole card. This is needed when some cards are first/last on your hand, and some of their text is cut off the screen.
Lots of fun! I enjoy deckbuilders, and this was a nice simple one with good variety. Sound effects were decent, but I'd love to hear some music. If music isn't your thing, I recommend checking out #team-up next time for a musician. There are usually a good number of musicians willing to contribute, and that kind of contribution doesn't require nearly as much back-and-forth as some other contributions (e.g., art).
Room for improvement: text was really small, especially the health indicator. I would like a way to undo my last action. Sometimes I click something by accident. A visual indicator of the different ranges would also help: knowing the card gives me 2 movement is great, but if I don't know how far that is until I use the card, that's less useful.
Thank you, this was a really helpful critique! Next time I will definitely check out #team-up for music, that is a great suggestion.
I agree with all your improvement points, most of my choices were supposed to be placeholder and I never came back and changed them. Implementing an undo button and some visual indications BEFORE playing cards will require some reasonable re-factoring of the code but sounds like a good challenge!
Cool implementation of a combination of some of my favorite types of games! A little more polish would really take it to the next level.
Love your artwork, especially the cards.
Very cool idea for the game.
I don't think I've seen those mechanics combined in quite this way before.
Nice job!
You have a really nice game brewing here.
Add some balancing and polish and I could see myself playing it for a few hours. I have lost track of time while playing it, it's so hooking and enjoyable :)
Deck building is fun and I enjoyed it! More card variety would be nice, but it works well already. I like the turn system and it looks well polished. Nice game!
Happy to see a deck building game!
I was surprised to die so suddenly :D.
Deckbuilding games are really fun and I was pretty excited to see the thumbnail of this one! Turns out it's a fun little game for sure! I really like how turns work and think there's a lot of ways the player can use those opportunities.
