Backstory:

Toil & Trouble was conceived one afternoon between me and my friend Nathan, on the job in the sweaty corporate software trenches.

It was to be a bit of weird one, mashing up online PvP trends: A MOBA with TCG-style deck-building. And we were gonna make it a platformer too. Needless to say, we were trying to come up with something new and different.

Toil & Trouble: Caretaker is a single-player prototype of this idea, adapted to the ldjam46 theme: Keep it Alive.

Oops, i had posted a comment about a site bug but it looks like it was a caching / eventual consistency issue.

Some of the cards don't seem to be working (like mastery) but other than that this is a very nice concept :)

I had tons of fun with this game! My highscore was almost 2000 since my fumes blocked the rain from watering the tree. I loved the deckbuilding idea, and the overall style of the game. Nice job :thumbsup: !
