Interesting game, but unbalanced. The only way to win seems to be using cast x2 damage cards, other don't deal enough damage to prevent enemies from killing you.

Themes
I didn't intentionally use any of the themes. It's inspired by a real game called "Abducktion"
*** BONUS PRIZE!!! ***
If you find the "secret ending", DM a screencap of the ending and you'll be mailed a fabulous* prize (in real life). It's a secret :p. Need a hint? There's some buried somewhere else this jam.
[*] Prizes will not be all that fabulous. Probably a sticker or button from an upcoming game.

How did you cheat? did you find the final secret?
Also thanks! I think with some balancing and mechanic changes it could be really cool.
Seems confusing at first but I got the hang of it after a some time. Though it could use some more initial explanation of the mechanics. For example, I don’t know how many nodes I would be playing once I click end turn (I still don’t know since I never stopped to count while playing).
The gameplay itself is not too hard. There’s some interesting combo to do, but otherwise seems basic.
The game lacks audio so that’s a shame.

Yeah, I think the concept is really really cool, but the game falls really flat unfortunately.
I think it has a lot of potential & needs to be thought about a lot more.
Also, with the way it is right now, it’s very luck based, if you get good casts, you’ll win, otherwise, you’ll lose.
Thank you for playing!
