What players say

• @chizkeykkk · needs work · 2026-10-21 · played 14 min · 1 heart: “Deck-builder games like this are something I really love playing! However, this one felt a bit confusing. The tutorial made it worse since two dialogues sometimes played at once, or they kept repeating every turn.”

• @kaya · loved it · 2026-10-21 · played 11 min: “i was a bit confused at first but when i tried the tutorial, i understood the game easily! its really cool that i could chain attacks and deal lots of damage before the round ends. i do spend a lot of time reading the mana requirement for each card”

  • @kaya replied 2026-10-21: “so i think having a feature where cards where you have insufficient mana to place should be covered/greyed out. in that way, i could only see which cards i could put for the current round.”
  • @survival (maker) replied 2026-10-21: “I like that, I will do that”

• @survival · 2026-10-21 · played 31 hrs: “thank you for the advice, i have taken and made those uupdtes”

• @flickaboo · loved it · 2026-10-12 · played 44 min: “The card game is really cool! I especially like the art style of the cards. The visuals look great, and it's a nice game to play when you just want to relax. Great work!”

• @neitantei · loved it · 2026-10-10 · played 47 min: “The tutorial is really helpful, and I love how the cards come to life when you place them on the board! The attack animations are a nice touch, and the illustrations look great too. You did a great job with this!”
