This game has a cool premise but its just kinda rough around the edges. I love digipen games and this is one I will come back to.

great concept, action roguelike, can load up sets into your bullets, holding left click will auto shoot, recommend balancing cards evenly instead of filling each row up, at least until you get enough cards. Unfortunately, once your deck is full, the dropped cards which are automatically attracted to you and takes up space keep pushing against you until you are trapped onto a wall. Unsure how to discard old cards with lower numbers, unsure if the number actually affects the damage since there are other stats for damage that you can gamble for on the slots between rounds. If there is a way to either trash the old cards or turn them into chips for further gamba of stats, then this would be playable again. P.S. I forgot to mention that each card also has a ton of particles, and if you flood the floor with said particles from your ever increasing attack speed, it dims every other light on the floor until you just have glowing spots on the floors and made me unable to see the "Floor is Lava" encounters until I just hear the damage taken sound.

The game is flooded with bugs and is ultimately unintuitive with no tutorial and nothing telling you the controls. While the music and background art are good, the lag and crashing make the game unplayable along with having no idea on how to use any of the card mechanics.
