Place your cards on a timeline spanning 10 seconds. Every card takes a certain amount of seconds. The timeline plays the cards one by one.

On the card the size of the card is displayed. For instance, a "3 second card" will take up three slots, and only do their attack on the third card

The art and gameplay is good, but the 10 second timer, in my opinion, is way too short. I can't really read what the cards do, before the timer ends.

I really want to play this but the aspect ratio is too big for my screen.

A cool concept and gorgeous art, but being beholden to the theme makes this rough. Also if there's sound, I didn't get any.

Really nice interpretation of the theme, 10 seconds time to think is a bit short though... also not necessary since you already incorporated the 'every 10 sec'. Overall a fun game!

Very cool idea, I always love seeing card games in ludum dare. It took a few tries to get used to it, at first I thought the 10 second timer for playing was too harsh, but I came around to it eventually. If you could drag and drop the cards as well, that would be a lot more intuitive for me. The card art was really pretty!

I have to admit, I found the tutorial kind of confusing, but once I started playing everything made sense pretty quickly. The art on your cards is very beautiful. Definitely gives off that Magic the gathering vibe. 10 seconds does feel like a short amount of time when you're new, I definitely ran out of time a few times. But once you have a decent understanding of what every card does it does a good job of keeping the pace up and inspires you to think quickly. So overall I think that's a good thing.

I wish causing damage to the opponent had more feedback. The card moving to hit the other side is a good start but a nice juicy damage number or damage blocked icon popping up would be good, I think. As it is I have to keep my eyes on the health counter to know what each card did, and when I'm trying to keep track of which card is having it's turn, I find that a little distracting.

Overall, I could see this being very fun with two players as well, although that may be a tall order. I certainly don't know how to make multiplayer games myself. But this is definitely a game I wouldn't mind playing again. Nice work!

I loved the art! The game looks incredible! My main problem is that 10 seconds was not enough time to 1) figure out what cards I had; 2) remember what each did, and 3) assess what my opponent did; 4) figure out how to respond. Some sounds would have also been nice. Sites like https://opengameart.org/ have free sound effects and music you can use for your games. It's a great concept for a game! Good luck!

love to see a card strategy game!! this was fun to play and easy to figure out. loved the detail and art on the cards -- but it would have been nice to have some quick reference indicator on them to know what each card did. i eventually remembered them all though, so that wasn't a huge issue for me. great job!!!

Took me 3 games to completely understand the rules and won the game in my 5th attempt.
Nice and cool card game.
