This game was really fun. The first time I played it, I didn't understand how to use the cards. I went back to try it again and got the drag and drop (it's in the WebPage description but not in the actual game how to play).

This is one of the few games in the jam that I found myself wanting to go back for multiple runs. I got 2nd place on the leaderboard overall.  It even has multiple characters. This was a really solid submission.

I do have a question though, does it have BGM and SFX?  I don't hear any when I play. I looked at SinsRay's stream and it looks like it might have sound?

Super fun game, thanks for your submission!

The Itch page is beautifully made, well done! 

It's nice that the levels automatically change whenever the character dies and the player restarts. Keeps the game interesting.

I started with the ranged character. Either I wasn't playing "correctly" or it is very underpowered - I could not clear the 2nd wave. When I switched to the melee character I was able to clear 9 waves easily. I guess some balancing is necessary.

Does the game wait for all enemies of a wave to be "cleared" before spawning new ones? I guess it is based on time and if the enemies are not cleared they just become too many to defeat. Maybe it would be good to have a hybrid logic that at an interval checks how many enemies are alive currently and based on that spawns new ones.

You can check out my submission to explore a unique take on the tactical genre. After the file upload is unlocked is the best time to try it. ;)

Good luck!

Fun game! The vfx look great and I love how visually responsive it is overall. 

Great art and gameplay! :D

This was fun I enjoyed it. even got 1st on the leaderboard. after some time of playing I could almost stand still and survive. here's a stream of me playing your game, it starts at 7:32. Great Job!

Pretty fun game! I enjoyed the characters, cards, and upgrades. It's a bit challenging at the start so you need a bit of luck to level up fast.

a very well polished bullet heaven! the immediate highlight of this game to me is the game feel; the visual effects and art for firing and tearing through foes are reeeeaaaaaally good and extremely engaging! i especially enjoyed the spectral daggers attack. the diversity in attacks was very cool, and they all felt quite polished individually. using cards as bonus spells was a cool spin on the formula, although i noted that the use of MP felt quite pointless as the cards' long cooldown typically meant that you'd already regenerated all your MP by the time they were ready again.

my main criticism is that the balancing could use some work, as it feels like the early game can be too punishing, but then very quickly becomes too easy once you get the right cards. however, i appreciate that this is difficult to do well in a time-limited jam environment where you can't test as thoroughly.
it also seemed like there was no audio, despite there being audio settings? given how good the polish is already, i'm sure even just a little bit of sfx would really take it to the top. 

overall, i'm very impressed with this game, and it's extremely fun. incredible job!

Super fun! I think at the beginning the difficulty ramps up super fast, so if you don't get good upgrades or drops fast you're kind of screwed, but once you get a few nice ones in you become super OP! Really fun
