That might have been the fault of our lack of tutorial 😅 we had it at the top of the itch page and in the how to play but you can discard your cards to shorten redraw timer. Between that and card effects, you should be able to be a whirlwind of damage and it really changes stuff. The more common thing we've seen is people having too much damage and killing everything too fast since we tuned things pretty forgivingly so people could experiment more with the systems.
Glad you and enjoyed the music and monsters, we also want to add all sorts of juiciness and general ui fixes, we got super rushed at the end ♥️
