love this game

i do want to beg for at least one extra art for the 'win' condition as it's so pretty but then the blank text is kinda a let-down (esp with no material payoff)

and i think it would be a better idea to de-couple the seed generation from the deck, and attach it to the store. you could even level up the seed types that way, if you want to do more complexity. i've had a lot of attack waves with no seeds in the ground, not for lack of resources but no draws with seeds, which increases in odds the bigger the deck

Thank you for the feedback!

As I've learned more about card game design I've definitely realized there are some weaknesses in the way this game works. The seed types / card progression in particular is a bit strange, as the weaker cards are literally just worse versions of the better cards and are therefore not great to add to the deck (as there's no way to get rid of them).

I would still like to come back to this game and expand or polish it, but I'm not sure exactly what I'd like to do (...or when I will have the time and motivation--although seeing people continue to enjoy the game definitely helps on that front!). The idea to make the win screen more satisfying is definitely a good one! And I agree some overhaul to how the seeds work is needed.

Maybe one day. Until then, thank you for playing!

Very fun game!

I had a blast playing this. Maybe you can add a way to see your deck and add an ability to discard cards from your deck? Would improve the deck building aspect of the game.

Good job!

Thanks for playing! I've definitely thought about coming back to this game and adding more features, but there's so many other things I want to work on too of course 😅


If I do one day work on this game more I definitely have plans for changes to the deck building mechanics though!

Hi

neat little game!

things that I think you could add:

the option to see what cards are in your deck

something that tells you in what turn you are

something that tells you that enemies are going to spawn next turn

I hope you keep expanding this game!
