As people have said, the number is increasing fairly quickly over time, but it should be inevitable, so I guess right on topic :smile:\nAs a recommendation, try to add some variety visually and sound (just little differences to make it feel less copy pasteish), the different cards are well chosen, but sometimes I got a lot of shields, even though I was fully protected and there were no zombies around, maybe that's what causes it big rise in zombie count...\n\nNevertheless enjoyed it.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":807270,"author_name":"LDJam user 76491","author_uid":"76491","epoch":1649291683,"text":"Cool concept, it's like Plants vs Zombies meets Slay the Spire :smile: \nThe cards are interesting, the zombies are cute and the game is very fun to play!

The real MVPs in those times were overpower + mirror + shoot, and overpower + knight, since they would usually help with the nearby fellows. Laser X is super good at the beginning, but late game it doesn't even make a dent haha.\n\nAnyway I see a lot of potential in this, had fun playing, great work!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":812064,"author_name":"Flawed_Gamer","author_uid":"flawed-gamer","epoch":1649361864,"text":"I enjoyed the game and it kind of reminded me of slay the spire.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":820574,"author_name":"zimny11","author_uid":"zimny11","epoch":1649541337,"text":"Super cool concept and gameplay!
