Very cool idea !
At first i was a bit lost on strategy but it clicked and i enjoyed the thinking needed !
Adding relics and other animals, maybe an other theme and u got a cool ballatro style game !
Glad you enjoyed it and the strategy clicked for you!
And yeah the original idea was a deck-builder roguelike similar to Balatro. Had to trim a lot to fit it into the jam haha
Thanks for the review! Will make sure to check out ToadTrails today
