Neat game! A lot of the cards are very wordy, which makes them hard to read, the text could definitely be made more concise. I liked the mechanics, it's just not very clear to me what I should do when I'm forced to play a detrimental card. I didn't really see any way to get rid of it other than by playing a skip right before or after. It also feels kinda weird that the distance traveled resets every time, but the humor stays.

full hand of pain and nothing to show for it

Love the concept! The art is cool and I like the card interactions you can achieve. My one major complaint is that the font is a little small and can be difficult to read at times, at least on my monitor, but, overall, great work.

This is an extremely interesting game concept; I've been on the lookout for the next "balatro" or "inscryption"-esque game and this definitely feels like it could be up there if developed further.    Also loved the card art styles.

If you took it further, would love to see art/animation representing the character's journey, some sound effects for placing cards and activating them, and some prettier abilities text on cards - I feel like it could be really fun to play repeatedly.  Nicely done!

Really interesting concept.  I think its definitely worth exploring more and improving on.  The music  and art on the cards is great!  I think the difficulty is pretty good, maybe a little bit too tough.  (Also rectifying your mistakes on first card breaks the game btw :p, also i think if you click replay it starts the music over on top of the old music so it has this weird layered out of time effect but might have just been me)
