Big bad boss angel looked a bit like from Hazbin Hotel design-wise! Big plus for very interesting card design and crisp writing, the game is written in a great way and has a great overall quality\/polish for a game jam time! \n\nI didn't understand one thing: a card once said that I should be careful while speaking to an angel, but I haven't found a way to speak to them (maybe it was just flavor text!). Plus, initially I clicked on the \"summon\" button without assigning the card, because it was on top and I wanted to see what happens :)","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":1036156,"author_name":"Starexplorer","author_uid":"starexplorer","epoch":1713214915,"text":"Oh this is so cool!

I liked basically everything - the visuals, the audio, the music, the concept and the writing.\n\nOne nitpick that I have is that it was a little hard for me to understand which aspects of an angel affected the outcome of the summoning the most.
