It did not go well... and I loved it. Clever use of the theme. The music was unwelcome by the 3rd wave.
Unfortunately, there seem to be quite a bit of bugs hunting this cool game.
- The "One of everything" card does not grant an action or mana at all, it was only giving me a card.
- "Push Harder" grants only one action, not two.
- At some point, the game just changed a view. All I could see was the bottom of the battlefield. I could still play, but could not "scroll up" to see the whole battlefield again.
- Sometimes, the new round does not "fire up" properly - you don't get any new actions, so you can't proceed with the game.
- Big black UPS truck does not seem to be effective at delivery (maybe a comment on effectiveness of UPS :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:) - it does not deal damage even when successfully arriving.
All these sadly hinder what could be a really great experience! If you are interested in working o this more, I would be curious to play it!
The music is very pleasant and fitting, and so are the SFX.
