Praise is not enough by Lumasi Games
Praise is not enough is a game of theatrical duels. Engage your opponent and strike him down. But look close at your praise level. Too low and public will denounce you, too much and you'll face an opponent you are not yet ready to battle.

How to play:
Drag the cards at you opponent to defeat him. You have two parameters to look after health and praise. For the smoothest playthrough try to keep your praise in the required praise range.

In between fights you can purchase new skills in Collections. To equip a card, purchase it and drop it on the card in your deck to swap them.
You can also upgrade your armor, that will provide additional health to you.

The long and short is, I feel like the best things about the game, the music and the background art and the card art, all feel like stuff that was made before the Jam, it may even be allowed free assets, however when those things are used you aren't supposed to be rated on them (that's why you can opt out of graphics/sound). If they were made in the Jam, great job, they look good. Otherwise you shouldn't be judged on them.
I agree that some aspects of the game feels unpolished and that's due to time constraints and scope of the project. We had plans on enemies visuals as well as animations, sounds and effects of course.
P.S. Sorry for the second comment. Haven't seen that one of team members had replied.
The combat effects could use some more visual feedback, I wish the attacks were more flashy! Still, the deck building system is cool, and it had me going for a while! With some work, this game could become really great!
ALso, I have not been able to deduce how the game ties to the topic, But I have not put that much thought into it, still would be cool to know :D
Keep up the hard work! :)
