I like the concept of applying a roguelike element to the theme, and it's definitely an interesting execution. Beyond simply picking cards, I would have loved to have more of a hands-on with the game whilst waiting for the time to count down. As you'd imagine, seeing the same timer ticking down can get very monotonous! But overall, a great mix of genres; good work!

Good idea but lacking in execution! I found it quite unclear what I was supposed to be doing at first until I waited enough for something to appear. The audio was quite harsh.
