Definitely gameplay based on Slay the Spire, but I have played so many card games over the years that all inspired some aspect of this. I would say the biggest influence from Hearthstone is that I loved the concepts from Hearthstone that are just impossible/awkward to replicate in paper games. As much as I love Magic the Gathering, there are some things that are just only possible in digital card games. I felt Hearthstone used that to its advantage and really celebrated the digital environment and I really wanted to do the same. Probably the biggest are transform cards (likely unseen in the demo) where actions throughout the run accumulate, ultimately causing your cards to change forms. I would love to hear if there are any cool things that Hearthstone does which I could incorporate in my game ^_^

Thank you, I really worked hard on the visuals recently, and got back to my roots. I studied 3D graphics in college, but hadn't touched it in a decade, so working on this game has been really great to return to it. :D 

Ah yes, I think I have this legend bug recorded somewhere, but accidently mis-categorized it so I didn't resolve it in this build. I will pull it in and see if I can patch it out. 

I will revisit the gold, it definitely feels bad if you don't skip any fights still being unable to purchase some cards at the shop. Should be an easy adjustment. 

Nip very well could be bugged, healing cards were all recently adjusted so I might have missed something. Was it just the base Nip card, with no modifiers? And only happened during boss fight?

Yes, the plan is to get a broader variety of enemies which make having at least some AOE cards a good idea. Plus the strategy of adding status effects to AOE cards can be a powerful one. But I agree the current Act 1 setup does not showcase their value well. Noted. 

Thank you for taking the time to try it out and leave your thoughts!
