Hi all,
Based on the feedback you’ve been providing, we made a huge update to the demo. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us and please let us know what you think about this new version!
Here are the main things that were added / changed:
- You can now build your deck within a run
- Cards have effects besides just dealing damage
- Battle encounters with multiple enemies
- New enemies
- Pretty much every item got reworked, now there are no longer effects based on probability
- Color blind options for cards
You now start with 5 cards, which can be rerolled before beginning the run. You can acquire more cards by purchasing them at the merchant.
By adding multiple enemies and card effects, a new layer of strategy was added to the game, where you can’t just mindlessly keep turning cards until you get a match. You have to think what effects you want to trigger and who you want to defeat first.
We also heard your complaints about the game being too RNG heavy, so based on that and in other successful games in the genre, we decided to remove every luck-based effect, so you can strategize better.
We changed the card background colors so they won’t be too similar to one another and also added names to them, so you can now find their pair by looking either at their bg color, or name, or portrait. You can also go to the settings and change the card color mode to one of those: deuteranopia; protanopia; tritanopia.
In the near future we will add more ways of getting healed, acquire / remove cards and maybe upgrade them. Also more toggles to the settings for things like bloom, film grain and screenshake.
Don’t forget to wishlist the game and share your feedback with us!
