My card game, thoughts?

I’ve been balancing and improving the game for about a year now, and I think it’s the final version currently. so I need suggestion before I publish the last update.

Do you think the card health system is good? Is the game balanced?

Before deeper discussion, I would suggest to make web version scale with the browser window and/or 'full-screen' button. I spent first 5 minutes in confusion looking at this:

Another suggestion would be to make some numbers more visible, black-on-dark brown in the center of the screen are painfully hard to see.

Next, it would be nice to get some explanation of core gameplay. How do I play a card? Is there some kind of card cost? I tried to click some cards, some of them seem to stay on the field, others do not, it was all very confusing. I did not find 'end turn' button as well, it just seems to end randomly, sometimes in a second, other times in a minute. Is it random timer?

On enemy turn, some enemies attack some of my cards seemingly at random -- or at least I was unable to understand the logic.

All in all, I like playing card games and would gladly say something about balance, but have to overcome those hurdles first.

Hi, I recommend downloading the game, because html is very buggy.

  1. Card costs 1 for White, and 6 for Red (Max). and so on.
  2. To play a card, drag it onto the board
  3. End turn is on middle left when it’s your turn to play.
  4. The timer is the middle right.
  5. The enemy attacks based of intelligence.

Windows version crashes on start for me. Can you update browser version?

I can’t update the browser version anymore, because I have problems with the software I use.

Are you running ARM windows? because I can upload a ARM version.

No, Windows 7. It is not your fault, GameMaker is probably just not compatible with older Windows.

I still need feedback after several updates, you can play the full game on your browser on phone or desktop, just wait a little for the game to load pictures. any feedback is welcomed.
