Right click to flip them over.
Drag to the playfield to place them.

I love the art! I couldn't win in a couple of tries, I assume you have to build some kind of maze for the final attacker to get enough damage? That gets tricky if you get all deck full of portals :D

Prettty fun. Took a few goes to work out what was going on. It'd be nice if the creep's text was the right way up, made me think it was an alternate use for the card rather than a response.
With a little bit of polish and some audio this would make a really nice little game. :D

Wow. This is very complex for and LD game! Couldn't beat it in my first two attempts, I'll have to come back and try again later! :)

Not too bad but it seems a bit short. I did manage to win after a few tries.

A game where you actually need to think what you're going to do.
It's great! I'd like to have it a little longer, or have more variation, or... Yeah I'm just saying that because I want more.

It would be better if player will have at least 20 seconds to read cards.

amaaaaaazzzing mixup of a TD and Card game. Great work! Love it! You could add the possibility to destroy towers.

Nice graphics, gameplay is a little difficult to understand at first and it needs more variation. Good job though.

Hi there. Like the idea. Found it too difficult to build something they couldn't get through, are you testing it's always winnable from cards dealt ? Shame no sounds. Nice UI for looking at and playing cards. Good job!

I had some confusion with the meaning of the creeps on the cards, and it took me a while to figure out what to do. It got interesting once I understood it though. I'm not sure if there is any challenge once you get what's going on though.
