Concept is cute and simple. A lot of work into the menu and the friendly tutorial.

I used a freeze card on my oponent early and he didn't unfreeze. Repeated that. Yep. Freezes untill the end of the round.

Hard to read the cards since it needs to be done quick. Effect cards could use icons or pictograms to improve readability speed.

Didn't understand the steam mechanic, since it lowers the score it seems really unproductive to use. If you behind and you use it you might fall more behind. If you're ahead. There's really no benefit because of the -3

Also 1/5 pulls are 3 empty cards. Maybe empty cards should be small +score instead. Holding 12 second combo to receive nothing is weird.

But else would love to check it out more.

Thanks for the feedback! The freeze I didn’t have time to fix, I need to find how to get rid of that. The game on your side freezes when you draw cards, so you can take your time. I’ll have to add that to the tutorial. The Steam mechanic is meant to give you a small boost if you fall behind, which I can make increased chance if better cards for this as right now it can only be common and uncommon. I do need to decrease the chances of blank cards as they are way too common.

Thank you again for this, it helps me a lot!

oh. Hm... i thought the enemy was moving while I was in selection. I sorta was in a rush to get the choice through to make it more impactful to interfere with enemy's actions.

But it's not bad. The game is fun and is soulful. It's a really good quality to have. And it's surprisingly stable for the state it's in.

Good job!

The enemy does move while you choose, but your falling items freeze. If the enemy finishes before you, you can still finish while it waits. I should’ve put that in the instructions.

Thank you! I’m surprised the whole thing hadn’t imploded yet 😂
