Welcome to Element Autochess, a Dota Autochess inspired card game. You start with 100 lives and you have to spend your lives to buy cards, reroll cards and unlock card slots.

Each turn, you battle with your opponent and either lose or kill your enemy’s lives based on the result. You win by killing your enemy’s lives to 0 (or expect him/her to overspend lives)

Card Type: cards have two traits: Color (4 in total: Blue, Red, Black, Green) and Elements (5 in total: Gold 金, Wood 木, Water 水, Fire 火, Earth 土).

Card Upgrade: cards can have 1-4 stars. More stars = more powerful card. Three exact same cards will upgrade to the next star. e.g. 3 x Red 土 Level 2 will merge into 1 x Red 土 Level 3

Card Combo: 3 cards of either the same color or the same element will give each a bonus star. e.g. 1 Red 金 + 1 Red 火 + 1 Red 水 in your battle cards will become 2 Red Gold + 2 Red Wood + 2 Red Water (3 red combo)

Life Cost Details

• Reroll once: 2 lives (you get a free roll when each turn begins)
• Buy a card: 2 lives
• Unlock a card slot: cost depends on turn number and the number of already unlocked card slots (it gets more expensive)
• Sell a card: you get half of the purchase price back

Corners Cut

• Multiplayer: unfortunately multiplayer is too much for compo so I have to replace it with an AI. Multiplayer is a completely different experience, especially when playing with friends
• More combo types: currently all combos are the same: they give you an extra star. However, I wanted to have more combo types but unfortunately this didn't make it
• Particles + Sound effects: that would be cool but I don't have time to make either.
