very fun i like the dog synergy
Very fun to play, needs a option to speed up animations though.
I'm really liking the bones of this, the combination of designing your board then piloting the deck is fun. As a deckbuilder though it just feels really random and impenetrable right now. Maybe I just need to git gud but you don't know what's coming up on the calendar so you can't plan, when events affect cards it's random so you can't plan around that, plus the events are random and it's random if you'll even get an event at all.
Since you can't see your starting building you can't plan around that with relic choice, it's pretty common to choose starting relics that are anti-synergistic with the starting building so you already start off on an unlucky foot that you can't do anything about.
I like the culty esoteric vibe of the event flavor, but even after quite a few runs it's impossible to remember what every event actually does for me so even when I'm re-encountering something I've seen it still feels like a crapshoot. It's tough cause just saying what the events do would diminish the vibe, but it's also frustrating to just be guessing and hoping.
All that said there's a lot good here and I'm excited to see where this goes!
Some gameplay, a hint of critique ;)
I think Bookstore is bugged, I had it different times and it doesn't work
The Yin-Yang Disc is strong ;) I'll need to win another run without it. The game is fun, thanks for sharing the demo and keep up the good work!
I mean Only if you play with a hyper optimized deck, if your deck falls appart without replacements it's more a burden.
Also depends when you get it too.
If you get it early it will be more game altering then getting it later.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it!We're glad to have the chance to share our game here.
Interesting, Needs a endless mode and a more consistent way to remove followers.
Also Bug note exiting and continuing deletes all your relic permanent effects.
Thank you for the report. I will check it out and fix it.
