a card game for a game jam is suuper interesting! I really love the portraits of all the enemies, and a pirate/sea creature theme is absolutely after my own heart.
the card zoom-in was definitely helpful but i think the game could do with an “inspect card” feature when you check your deck! some more complex cards were still hard to read even when zoomed. and the zoom could be a little faster too.
i’m not sure if this was an error, but i didn’t seem to be able to use any of the purple cards. i could attack just fine with character cards though.
i defo agree that a tutorial could help for some of the different systems (for example, how many cards can i use per turn? what sort of attacks can my enemy do?) however i think a “card inspect” feature would have alleviated most of my initial confusion.
super pretty game with a lot of potential! from what i could read, there were some synergies i would’ve had a lot of fun with. i do tend to prefer strategy games though so perhaps im a little biased ;)
