I was expecting the cards at the top to be in order, but they seem to be chosen randomly.
- music didn't fit with the gameplay
- could have used some feedback on how things worked
- color choices were really bad for someone colorblind - I had to just drag cards up to see if they matched or not.
A different way to do it would be to not color code it and instead let the user try to reason out which card to use.
good music!

Overall it felt like there wasn't a lot of strategy involved. I basically only ever did the thing that was obviously the best to do in each situation. The timer wasn't an issue either because it was super lenient.
Because you could always just buy back abilities at the next store (and there was never a shortage of currency) the sacrifices didn't really feel like they mattered all that much.
The abilities didn't feel distinct from each other. Mechanically they were all the same which made it less strategic as well.
Since I had no way of knowing which abilities were required (as secondary abilities) in each level, I also felt like I couldn't really plan ahead and relied on random luck to get through to the next resting place.
When slotting an ability, all the other abilities changed their position. That felt irritating and I wish that they all just had their fixed slots which are emptied once the ability is slotted or sacrificed.
I actually liked your music. Sounds quite pleasant to me :)
I hope my feedback makes sense to you and doesn't sound too harsh. Good luck!
