I really enjoyed this game, from its concept and mechanics to its beautiful retro graphics. Only very few games leave me wanting to do a 2nd or 3rd playthrough, even less without some added bonus like a New game+.

1st time I always went for +2 HP as I didn't know scrapped cards gave you one of its pip at random. I struggled a bit when enemies started having 30 HP but it was still manageable. 2nd time was easier and still lots of fun, getting the hang of it feels rewarding. I have yet to try some strategies.

I found some concepts of the tutorial slightly confusing at first, but the game is intuitive enough to let you figure things out eventually.

Looking forward to a full release!

Link; Hiya. Wanted to let you know your game was praised here by Snow_Cat last year. I hope to discover that your game lives up to the hype, and it helps motivate you for future projects!

Thanks! We like the project a lot, we've been working on a full release actually. Can I get that link again? The hyperlink doesn't work and I'm curious :)

I find it difficult to tell what light level it is by the thing on the side.  Other than that, I am really enjoying the game!  Very cool

Hey there! I just wrote about your game on my blog while I was covering the 1-bit Jam. It took me a bit to get a hang of the mechanics, but once I got into a groove, I couldn't stop playing.  I love games like this and it's crazy that you made it in such a short time. Cheers! 

Here's the post
