The store wasn't very intuitive to me, I think the UI could be improved to be a bit clearer which was unfortunate because that was essential step in building your deck.

It feels like a hodgepodge as opposed to a unified entry. I couldn't really tell what was going on when I used a card, no effects just one of the lumps of cubes in the distance shifted about.\n\nThe 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.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Lumasi Games","author_uid":"1050680","time":"2017-12-05T15:21:08Z","epoch":1512487268,"modified":1512487585,"text":"Hey @ilseroth, despite the fact that I appreciate your effort in trying the game and leaving the comment, I deeply disagree with your comment. ALL art, music and basically all assets used in the game were completely done from scratch during jam time period. We thought about some game design ideas beforehand but that's it. We did not use any marketplace assets whatsoever.\n\nI 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.\n","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Lumasi Games","author_uid":"1050680","time":"2017-12-05T15:23:19Z","epoch":1512487399,"modified":1512487602,"text":"@ilseroth Hey, thank you for the feedback.

My comment was purely for *if* you had done it, then to opt out of graphics\/audio. Otherwise, it has solid environment art, music and the UI is pretty good too. It's just that when you get something as different as your character art and your environmental art, something shady is usually afoot.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"TuTaraTuta","author_uid":"1059581","time":"2017-12-05T20:06:30Z","epoch":1512504390,"modified":1512504390,"text":"I must say, that I like the idea of theatrical duels and need to keep balance between health and praise. I although appreciate the fact, that all the visuals were made from scratch. But, at the same time, I feel like more attention was given to graphics, rather than gameplay and general feeling from the game. It makes pretty beautiful game feel boring as there is no impact from your actions. Although, there should be more praise-lowering cards, most of the time you don't have a choi\u0441e but to spam attacks. Music is unentertaining as well. I am truly sorry to say that, because game looks very good and the concept of it sounds fun.

I think you should re-organize the UI a bit, so that the playing cards don't cover up the combatants when you're picking which card to play.  The combatants are a bit hard to see against the background, so do something about that.  And the music is great, but keeps getting interrupted abruptly when scene changing.  Leave it playing so we can enjoy it.  Overall this is a very good entry.
