This game has such mechanical depth for a jam game! The learning curve was pretty steep, but once I got the hang of it, it was really engaging.
As far as I can tell, it gives you the same tiles, in the same order, until you play something that shuffles the deck. That's a little confusing. It looks like a deck-builder, but it plays more like a designed puzzle game.
I did eventually beat it, which was very satisfying. Overall, this is a very impressive game!
I'm glad you enjoyed it and took the time to beat it :) Yes the first hand and following 7 or so cards are scripted. Originally it was all random but it lead to many runs being impossible after the first few cards or just immediately. I set it up it up in a way so that it gives you 1 of each card in order to kick you off, then after that its all RNG. In the future, I'd like it to be totally random but that would need a lot more balancing and time in designing card and their rewards.
