Even when I don't really pay attention and build myself in a corner I can still just release and get money.

It is BY FAR the game I have spent the most time on.\r<br\/>It took me a while to figure out that I'm upgrading the cards after building, and not purchasing more cards for some kind of deck.\r<br\/>I would love to have some kind of turn indicator, to see how fast I have managed to get to the 45 score board.\r<br\/>I would personally enjoy it much more if it was a sort of deck building game, instead of upgrades, that way you'd be able to sort of tailor the components you like to get.\r<br\/>Still, excellent entry!"},{"author_name":"Stals","author_uid":"25969","time":"Dec 17, 2015 @ 12:03pm","epoch":1450353480,"text":"Thank you all for the comments, I will try to fix some issues for the post-compo version this weekend. +Display the number of boards it took you, improve feedback and better show how the score is calculated. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>@timeshapers we actually thought about the deck building, but the time was running out =) Btw, after some time we may continue developing it into a full game, so if you are interested - you can follow me on twitter: @StalsKnight\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@inbetweengames we will try to come up with something and maybe add it to the post-compo version."},{"author_name":"AlexHonor","author_uid":"64373","time":"Dec 20, 2015 @ 1:22pm","epoch":1450617420,"text":"Nice game!
