Wow what a cool game! I love deck builders and found this really challenging. And so polished? The game over screen is GREAT and the UI works wonderfully. There was no audio for me, maybe it doesnt exist yet?

Game description
A roguelike tactic card game
Theme interpretation
I want to create a felling of enemy wave, and the felling of RIDE the waves. Enemies and cards are like the tide, players need to carefully consider the actions to be a good WAVE RIDER.

Cool game, a very fun deck builder. Currently the starting deck might have too many useless cards, I was often left doing nothing on my turns.

Greetings, Planet!Nice one!
I failed first time but not entirely sure what happened, if I got hit by enemy or something, would be nice to add some description.
I think overall it lacked a bit of description and explanation of what's happening, but you can figure it out by playing, and for a one month jam I totally get it anyway.
I like the mechanics and the card diversity. UI and graphics are pretty cool as well.
Very good submission!

Castle SplashOof suicided into the wall on round 10!
This was a very fun game, great work!
I'm not much of a deck-builder player, but you made it easy enough to fumble through without knowing the difference between exhaust and the discard pile (maybe that's why I stacked up so many injuries/bleed/daze cards).
For something so simple, you nailed the feel. It reminded me of Eador: Genesis a bit with the static sprites in combat.
I hope you keep developing it!
Cool game! Felt similar to playing Slay the Spire. Throw in some sfx and the game will feel more polished :)

Wave DrifterNeet game with a pretty addicting game play loop. The game feel on the cards is great. The text could have been larger and a bit of music and sound effects when hitting things could of improved things. Cool entry, congrats.

Wave PiracyOkay this is really cool. I played for a long time until I died in round 6 I think. Nice balance btw, how many testruns did that take you? Kudos if this is a solo project
There was no audio - right? Is that a bug or did you not add any? Also I think the open source requirement could be a little more... open :D

FreqOutThanks for your comments, I am glad you enjoyed the game! I guess I have spent a couple of days to test the difficulty, and I do think there are still so much to do for the numerical part.
I caught a fever during the last week, leaving me no time for the visual effect and sound effect. I will keep polishing the game, hoping to achieve a good one!
I think the project zip file is held in the GitHub link page, although the dev log is not traced due to network reason in the last month…
A nice little game. Card games are not usually my style, but I enjoyed the roguelike tactical aspect. It got quite chaotic after some rounds.
