The bakground moving and music combo made me a bit dizzy but it is neat gameplay!!

Gameplay is fun! I like that you used this system to make like a puzzle card game. You should definitely make an endless mode with the system. It works with the puzzle system, but broken frog seems too OP without any action cost. With some polish and effects I can imagine this being a game I sit down and play for a while. Some suggestions for the game would be to add more placement based effects and give the option to skip placing a card to use the action later.

Helluva Chancethis was really fun! it reminded me a lot of the boomsday puzzles from hearthstone :)

The Count of DownInteresting concept but was pretty unintuitive to understand at first. Works well as a puzzle game, however, it is really up to luck without knowing what card the opponent is about to play. If you get your guess wrong, you might just have to restart.

MORE TOKENSThanks for playing! Yeah, I wish I was able to get a tutorial in there to make things like that easier to avoid. I don't think that the first card matters for any of the levels though, except for ones where the action counter is low at the start. Could you give me an example of what you ran into so I can write it down to fix later?
A little bit tricky to understand at first but after a bit we get into it and the fun is coming. well done!

Poker BlockI really like the idea, the levels feel like small puzzles with only a few possible solutions, which makes it fun to figure them out step by step.
At first, I didn't fully understand the action phase, but after reading the card descriptions, everything clicked and I understood what I was supposed to do.
One small thing I noticed is that the moving background felt a bit distracting at times because of how fast it scrolls. Aside from that, I think it's a really interesting game with a concept that has a lot of room to grow. Great job.

Clocked OutThis could use a deeper tutorial but once I got the hang of it I had a lot of fun ! Weird bunny is a hero and I would die for them :)

ChronocideI was confused at first but got there in the end. The potential is big.

Like ClockworkI was confused, then intrigued when I understood the action phase.
My brain is now bigger than it was before, thanks for the fun game!

Bullet Time (GMTK 2026)That was cute and fun!
The cards that added an action didn't entirely make sense to me as I still only had one action per turn (?) I like the variety of cards / options as you progress to harder levels :-)
