Welcome and THANK YOU for playing to Dealing with LIFE.
This game is about draining your opponent's life before they do the same to you. To achieve this, you play out cards in turns which can then attack your opponent's cards or his health core directly.
At the beginning of the game you are both dealt 5 cards, with 1 card being added to your hand each turn.
The cards you place on the table in front of you can be used to attack your opponent's cards, or your opponent directly. To do so, click on one of your cards that's not currently tabbed, then select an enemy card or his health core at the opposite end of the table. After playing a card, the card remains tabbed until your next turn.
LIFE COUNT The red number on the bottom right of your card is its life. In order to play a card from your hand you sacrifice the same amount of life from your own total.
ATTACK The green number on the bottom left of your card is its attack value. When you attack your opponent's cards or his health core, this is the amount of damage the card does. If your card is attacked by your opponent, it will defend itself, causing damage to the attacking card as well.
COOLDOWN Every card has a cooldown, indicated by the timer symbol on the top left. As long as a card is in cooldown, it remains tabbed. On your next turn, your cards' cooldowns are decreased by one.
LIFESTEAL Some cards posses the power to steal life, indicated by a red blood droplet in the top right. Any damage dealt by a card with lifesteal is added to your health pool, allowing you to regenerate.
ADDITIONAL DRAWS Some cards - when played from your hand - allow you to draw an extra card. This is indicated by an image of a blank card in the top right.
CONTROLS You can exit the game at any time by pressing Escape. To view a larger version of your card, hover over a card and keep your right mouse button down.

Nice Game. In my oppinion you should not be able to hit your opponents life points directly if there are still cards on the board, because only focussiong on your opponents life points always wins you the game (at least 5/5 times for me)
Very well done! The only bad thing was the theme part, which wasn't your fault. There was no point in keeping cards in your hand, pretty much ever. Props for making a working LD card game, with keywords and everything! I played about 5 games and kept seeing new cards, which was impressive. Nice work!
Really nice game! You nailed the table aesthetic and the cards are really funny, the music was good though I'd pick a darker one to make it more dramatic haha
I have no feedback to give you, other than it being a little unbalanced (since you can always just attack the core, and you can just play cards and win without doing anything)
But the mechanics, the artstyle, the music, the humor are all great, congrats!
