The art is pretty great except the color choices hurt the eyes. Try generally cranking down that saturation, use tone (lights and darks) more so than color to control what draws the eye. Use higher saturation minimally to make stuff pop usually mid saturation is more then enough."},{"author_name":"monkeedude1212","author_uid":"43464","time":"Apr 21, 2015 @ 10:13pm","epoch":1429654080,"text":"Music felt a bit weird for gameplay.

It's a lot of fun to see how many combinations of cards you can make, even if it's unable to stay undefeated for long. It would be amazing if this could be developed more, especially if the ability to customize decks or play against other people was added. As it is, this is still a really cool game~"},{"author_name":"local minimum","author_uid":"24765","time":"Apr 22, 2015 @ 8:31pm","epoch":1429734360,"text":"I didn't bother too much with the fighting mechanics, I was having too much fun just seeing how you built your mounted animals. Gorilla with pug as weapon seemed hard to beat. Naturally. Very fun. Only a pity one didn't get to see the clash and the looser flying away. I didn't really get if there was a limit to how many cards could be drawn from the deck to fill out the hand and since I didn't see any limit to it, the draw two cards seemed no so useful. If drawing extra cards cost something more obviously. Or maybe add a card that allows for other cards to be trashed while still maintaining the turn? I got to 6 victory points, and it would have been nice with an indicator showing the first to (now) 7 in game. But other than that, a fantastically fun game."},{"author_name":"Demy","author_uid":"44801","time":"Apr 25, 2015 @ 8:13am","epoch":1429949280,"text":"Such card game, much fun.

Also, the remaining players turns are way too fast, so at times you can lose track of the game sequencing.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Other than this, a really solid entry. (and funny!
