Love it! Nice and chill, but did not get whether elements had an impact on a battle

Great game, both in terms of game design and visuals, really enjoyable to play, well done! ;)

However, I feel like it's a bit easy. I've played three times and won all three. Does the opponent have a strategy for choosing its cards and bonuses, or is it random?

Great Gameplay! Everything is straight forward, easy to understand and very effiently visualized without losing its calm mood!
I think the Summon-Choice-Upgrades are already really high developed for a Game Jam. Very enjoyable!

it was easy to pick up the mechanics as i went. i'm a big zodiac aesthetic enjoyer so i'm glad this is where you took the theme! adding the rouguelike powerups per energy chargeup to my deck made the game very engaging and fun, would be cool to see what other interactions could be done with them

Love the twist on the classic "war" card game. I'd never thought of doing a deck building variety on that! I really enjoyed this! Totally could make a mobile game for this!!!

I like the art style a lot as well as the music. Really gets me in the mood. The gameplay is a bit lacking though, as from what I can tell, the optimal strategy seems to be to always play the highest card that you have. The Zodiacs are nice to change up the gameplay but they don't doenoguh to alleviate this issue.

Game is nice looking and even has a tutorial, which is a great addition. But talking about game mechanics, when you are presented with a choice in which second option is always inferior no matter what, it's not really a choice, and game could really play itself at that point.

Nice twist on war. I like the addition of summons here as they give me agency to improve my deck, but I don't feel like there we plusses and minuses to the summons like I would expect. e.g. Why wouldn't I take 100% more energy on losses? Perhaps a passive doubles the value of all cards, but halves your deck too. (I assumed that the colors of cards were like elementals with strengths and weaknesses, but that didn't seem to have an impact (perhaps I too busy winning to notice :smile: )

I like this sound! Pretty cool card game with interesting theme implementation.

Really nice and polish game. I don't see a reason as to why not take the highest card every time . Maybe adding more elemental rule or rule change like the making the lower card the strongest.
Or maybe if you win by to much it destroy both card.
Winning and by a lot always felt the best option
