I finally won! Simple rules that make an interesting game.

One thing that was a little unclear is which card followed you when you moved from a center edge into the middle.

Did not manage to get to the bottom of the deck, I think you have to be very lucky to do so. These kind of games I think need to be on the easier side. But anyway nice graphics, easy to grasp and fairly relaxing.

Damn, that's hard. Mostly because you need luck from my experience. (a bit hard to be able to do anything when there are only monster cards and that there are wands around)

I like the idea and found it interesting, although I feel a bit disappointed that I couldn't finish it.

I like the idea of the wand of multiplication. I didn't get its effect at first but soon found out when I got stuck between enemies with more than twice my HP on all sides. Overall, it's simple yet challenging. You do need to plan out your moves well or suffer the same situation as I did.

If you plan to extend it, more variety on the cards can make this more interesting. Also, try to make the player's card have a different color.

Beautiful. The best compo game I've played this event so far. The music, the cards shaking when hovering over them, the sound effects, etc, make the game feel complete. I can only find two issues with the game: Firstly, the game is a little bit difficult to understand in the beginning, even if you read the instructions first. Try to make a simple tutorial telling you where the next card will spawn, etc. Secondly, the game is a little bit too difficult I feel. I actually spent almost half an hour on this game because I really liked it, and finally I managed to beat it. But for a jam game you should expect players to spend 5-10 minutes on your entry, and in that time range I don't think any new players will manage to beat it. If you had more time it'd be awesome with multiple levels.

Anyway, really good entry. Again, this is the best compo game I've played thus far. Good job! :)
