Amazing art, sound design, voice acting, dialogue and atmosphere, this was a really pleasant surprise! My only gripes are with the combat system feeling somewhat random or that the player doesn't have enough information to make an informed decision. Without that, though, this really is a work of art!

Thanx for your comment! It's really important for us to have such kind of feedback. The battle system has a pattern, trust me) Each opponent's card is beaten by one of ours. You just gotta figure out which one. I know it looks like it's a bit on the hardcore side but that was the initial intention. For those who wouldn't like to really dig in it we added the Skip button. However we might think about maybe making it a bit clearer. Thanx again!
Yeah, I had a feeling that there was at least one card would win each time but it seems like there is no effective way to determine which that is each time without already having the knowledge. So for a player with no experience of the card being played against it is essentially random chance until you learn all possible card combinations.
My only concern at the moment is that maybe we should grant the player 3 lives instead of 2. This way he/she has a bigger room for maneuver, this way it will be a bit easier to try more cards before dying.
Actually it was a real pleasant surprise that someone made a video about PP this fast. That's really cool. Also you didn't get to turn the music on ) It's there, down below in the pop-up menu. If you liked the art-style, you'll probably like the soundtrack too)
