I loved this! I often struggle to get into deck builders but this totally hit the sweet spot! My only issue is there’s some bug with directing cards, I made it through the first 10ish battle without ever attacking because when I first tried, it didn’t work, despite the arrow being the attack color. Same for movement, after playing for 20min, I thought “why can’t I move my cells?” and tried some more and then it actually worked. Once I knew that I had to just keep dragging for attack/move, it was fine (never had problems with attack cards).
A few other minor points, when ending a battle, it would often scroll a bunch to the bottom, making scroll-edge-detect a little tighter, as well as coloring the path taken so it’s easier to get back to where I was.
Design-wise, I loved how the enemies responded to each move. It was a little confusing at first, but once I understood it, it really opened up a lot of strategy anticipating enemy behavior. I do wish mouse-over had some extra detail, like attack values and abilities, so I didn’t have to memorize them but it certainly makes sense with jam time-frame.
Also, love the cells traveling the lines! Would love an update with more levels.
