Everything works well and it fits the theme nicely. I liked the different tactical options available; I mainly focused on boosting my damage when I was dealt the right cards.

I found readability an issue; it definitely could have used a clearer font and larger text. The heart icons on the card also get in the way of the text and they don't convey any useful information because all cards have hearts regardless of their use. The background changing colour doesn't help either.

A very unique idea for the theme! There are many cards to give an interesting gameplay experience! I found myself going back multiple times to vs. the AI in the game! It did, however feel a little bit easy, but overall it is a great game!

I like it, it's simple and direct, but I wish you had an artist on your team though, the experience would be even better. Nice entry!
