I think this was unique, I was trying to move but could not figure out how to move during the round. I was able to setup my cards and use the coins, but I don't know how to get them back. The game hook seems unique and would be fun with more development.

I think I used up the two coins I got at the start and never got any more back D:

It's an interesting take on Battle Network-type combat, but it suffers from lack of things such as health bars and even which of of the four cards are currently being played. I mostly understood the attack range of each card, but it could have been better to put that at the top of the card, as it was almost hidden by the edge of the screen. With cards, it's preferred to be able to see important things from a glance (in this case damage and range).

It could turn out to be a very interesting title if it had more time in the ovenm which isn't always a possibility with game jams, but an idea if you want to continue development afterwards.

oh nooo, thanks for finding that bug!

Thanks for the feedback! Yea, with no animations and health bars it's really confusing. Thanks for the feedback on the card design as well! :)

Definitely innovative, very cool style. It took me a bit to realize the cards had directional movement symbols on them. I was able to figure out mostly everything, except I wasn't able to solve how to deal damage. Even health bars would have added a lot, I possibly was doing damage and didn't realize it.

thanks for the kind words! I planned to add hp bars but I couldn't figure out how to code them in time :(
