Interesting game! I think in general, if you can help the players ease into the game and try out easy rounds while figuring out what we are supposed to do will be great! Usually, I am those who skip the guides/tutorials and learn by doing so first few levels, if i can try out different mechanics gradually, that will be great to get used to it.
I was confused when in the level screen you start at the top and must go to the bottom while on the map you go from bottom to top, and the game says you go North.
There is also a lot to figure out in the first level screen. In addition to a small tutorial, maybe you could introduce enemies and other elements more gradually.
Had a hard time with the readability of the game. The style is cool, but everything is really tiny.
Maybe make a “start node” at the world map so that you see yourself in the map as a bird. There is not way to access the settings from the world map.
hello I just played the game and it's interesting even tho I don't know much about this genre but what I would say is make a tutorial level for non card game players so your game will reach wider audiences anyways cool game
