10 Second Tactics by Klardonics

[raw]
made by Klardonics for Ludum Dare 51 (COMPO)

In 10 Second Tactics, you only have 10 seconds to act! If you wait too long, the turn ends automatically, which can leave you vulnerable to enemy attacks. Use the cards in your hand wisely (sometimes wasting them for a chance of drawing a better one). Empty your hand to beat the game.

Use the mouse and left click to control everything in the game. Click the clock to skip the waiting phase of the turn.

The art style is perfect and is well put together. The 10 seconds feels too long, I'd almost speed up the timer even though it technically wouldn't be 10 seconds lol. Loved it!

This is a really clever concept! I appreciated how you could skip the 10-second countdown by clicking the timer, it would have been a bit tedious to wait around for so long otherwise. I hope you keep working on this, I could totally see this idea being expanded upon into something bigger! My one suggestion would be to add some kind of scoring system, it would've been nice to know how well I was performing compared to my previous attempts.

There is a great game in here that has nothing to do with a ten second timer. I don't think the timer really adds anything. But I love the art, enemies, cards, etc. Got a bit of final fantasy tactics, and a bit of Slay the spire.
The enemies need balancing. It was easy to get into situations when you have no relevant card, and they just chase you down and kill you. It might be nice if you had some kind of dash that moves you more than 1. Maybe that would be a good card idea.

Hard game, awesome concept. I found it nigh impossible to get an enemy positioned diagonally to me. Could really see this developing into a great game! but the theme is tenuous and doesnt add much of anything to the experience, so maybe ditch it if you work on the game more. Id love to see where it goes!

A very good game with solid card mechanics. And the 10 second timer makes you act fast. Also I like how it looks. Would love to play the game with more monsters and more card abilities. Good job!
