Hey Ross, thanks for playing!
Really glad you stuck with it and got that juicy booty <3.
"At first I thought the card synergies were a bit limited…"
I think the game doesn't do the best job at presenting the "build possibility space", or at least needs a little more time to give players more ideas. So, although you did find the booty build eventually, I think there's a way to present the game (don't know how atm) that shows potential build paths sooner.
There's no special drops for builds, so your run was just blessed by RnGainsus.
It's a good point on the cards (and muscles) being a bit too similar looking. I think if I get to the point of getting proper art, I'll be sure to make them super distinct.
A cutscene where your bones start disintegrating as the crowd cheers on would be hilarious lol!
