I like it. It was fun to play.
The optimal strat is to use one hand to mash a number and the other hand to move except I need to also control the mouse.

Hi, glad to hear you like it!
To combat the mashing strat we added locking your selection at the last minute. When clicking right click with all cards selected, you don't use them up when shooting. That way you have everything free to walk around!
Because of time constraints there is no visual feedback for the locking.
If you liked it you should try again with the locking mechanic :)
I get the idea of using the cards but it's really annoying that you have to keep selecting the cards, I would lock the selected cards and allow the player to change whenever they want and to encourage the player to change cards I would make the enemies be affected differently to each card. So some enemies are damaged even more by some cards or make some enemies inmune to certain cards.
Anyway, really good idea, really challenging and creative. Good job.

Do not MizzHi thank you for the feedback!
Locking the card is already in the game ;) Use right click after selecting all cards before shooting them. There is however no way to see if it is locked or not, it was a last-minute feature.
Having different enemies be affected differently does sound fun for a more complete game, will keep that in mind for the future, thanks!
I did like the music :) It works well and is nice to play. I just got stuck in pits several time without figuring out a way to get out of them and I got back in them when I died so had to restart the whole game. Might be me being very bad at it though.
