How does your game fit the theme?
The game is a deck-building roguelike where pretty much everything is on a timer, "counting down." Enemies have timers counting down to their next attack. Each level has a timer counting down, and whatever's left is converted to currency when the level ends. The deck redraw mechanic is on a countdown too, ticking toward your next redraw. And energy, used to play cards, refills every second, so every card you play feels like it's counting down as well.

I really liked the idea that the time left is converted to currency for the shop.
Quite clever.
The gameplay was amazing and the combat was beautiful, would have liked some form of way to permanently remove cards from your deck as well as a auto redraw setting.
I liked the game, combats are well done and the monsters are fun!
Game is fun, keep me on my toes intense

I really enjoyed this! The art and music are very good!
Don't bother getting the scythe or shield, potion and energy maxing with some long swords made the game super easy.
Good humour and fast pace button mashing, amazing
Ending was disappointing but the game was fun!
Well done!
Amazing game :) I saw potion, energy, longsword, and just clicked buttons very fast! Cool that perhaps one of the only other people with a deck builder using real time combat found our project as well.
All the flavor text combined with the visuals and this game had me spinning in my chair laughing. At first I thought the gameplay was just 'click to win' but then I lost and found out that there was an actual strategy needed. While, ultimately short, the game compensates for it with witty banter and a winning personality ;)
That was a fun game. The Sound in menu is perfect!! and I liked the variation of cards. It was a nice balance.
very fun to play! Love a good pick 3 deckbuilder! I didn't see why the cards didn't just play themselves until the energy management became more important, I liked the flow!
Cool and catchy game! I couldn't complete the game fully, but I hope I'll manage to do it eventually! Congrats on the submission! 🎉
