I really liked the game! I think I got an unloseable game  since I got the card that does 2 to every enemy meaning that as long as I didnt buff the enemies health I could always clear every monster. there ended up being like 8 at a time haha. very fun!

Loved this game, card roguelikes are my favorite for sure. Excepcional execution of a brilliant idea. Would love to see a complete version of this game and spend hours on it.

This game is very fun! It took me a few tries to work out what the stats actually mean, but once I understood the game, it turned out to be well-designed and with a good aesthetic. My current strat is to fill the deck with hollows and then use that card that damages every enemy with the same type as the front one.

The game is really good. I don’t really know what the stats are doing but I like to think on how to use my deck to kill all the beasts! Anyway the games artwork and SFX is very good, if you polish the game you can publish it too!

Didn't think I'd see a roguelike deckbuilder for this theme and I'm blown away. The game is really well made! and has a lot of depth for just 4 days of work.

wow. this game is impressive.  Im going to be honest if you intend to continue development to steam HMU, im 100% down to work on the art for this. I think it has good visuals as is but we could definitely stylize this way more. 

Ive done similar work prior but i think high res pixel art would make need to be done to really go above and beyond. 
My disc is same as my username feel free to reach out if interested. 
Well done here mate.

Really fun! Took me a bit to realize the loop but once I did it hooked me.

Really fun! I was a little lost at the beginning, but I figured it out eventually.

I really enjoyed this game! The gameplay loop was quite addicting, but it did take me a few runs to really figure out how the game worked. Once it clicked, I was getting pretty far and having a great time! The animations and art are also really nice, well done!

It's an interesting take on the GMTK theme! And I love the atmosphere you created :)
