I don't see an option to rate the game, but if I could, I would choose 5 out of 5. Great graphics, mechanics and gameplay is addicting, thanks for sharing!
I have played this game and I've loved it, it's a weird combination of Die in The Dungeon and Peglin, both games I really enjoy, and it has come time to leave my feedback:
1) Some of the tiles are extremely weirdly described or lack information, an example being the "25% chance of dealing 5 damage", I always thought that this one was useless because I assumed that the remaining 75% was a "deal no damage", which makes it kinda bad, only now, after beating the game multiple times, I realize that the last 75% was a "deal 1 damage". Another example is the "earthquake tile", reading "when placed causes an earthquake that moves all tiles", I was expecting all the tiles to move in a random direction, which made it a terrible pick for me, now instead I realized that the movement was deterministically towards the ground and that could get me easily out f tricky situations.
2) The elite fights seem underwhelming with rewards, especially because the third option isn't present if you re-roll. some relic like in peglin would make the experience more worth it.
3) There are some interactions I'd like to sort out, like this one: An electric tile doesn't destroy another electric tile, or if beat the game the next run you get to keep the money you had when completing it, or an enemy tile being used to make a player tris (This has happened in the third act against a specific opponent that uses a player tile to suicide.), are those bugs or genuine mechanics?
4) Sometimes the animations feel too slow, could there be an option to increase the animation speeds?
5) As mentioned in point 4, the animation speeds are slow, and there is an option to "pre-move", or put your tile on the board before it is "technically" your turn (I consider this the first moment in which you can press arrow button and skip your turn, which is a weird mechanic on its own), however this means that if you are fast enough (my default mouse sensitivity is the max, and even with that I can't consistently fast enough) you can place your tile where the enemy would want to place theirs, this results in a lot of good perks: 1, the enemy turn is canceled and the tris they made, if any, isn't considered complete. 2, the overwritten tile is gone and won't ever return to the enemy, not even on board clears, this means that you can technically get an enemy to have 0 tiles by overwriting each of their tiles. 3, the overwritten tile, while still visually present, doesn't occupy any space and can be played on by both you and the enemy, the tile is also not considered part of any tris.
P.S. The animation speed also makes another problem, if you use a tile that has an animation (e.g. electric, rain, axe, earthquake) and the animation plays, you have more than enough time to get the tiles to any space you want, making the bug easily accessible. With this I made a fully animation-heavy deck and beat the game by not allowing the final boss to place any tile.
6) No matter how much time I've looked the AI never seems to use the second or third tile in the turn order, even tough they very well could, this also feels like I'm exploiting them for I'm able to essentially plan several moves ahead by looking what the enemy will do and, occasionally, intentionally loosing three hp to get an insane damage number in one turn.
I hope that this comment wasn't heard as a downgrade for this game, this is an awesome game and I really enjoyed playing it. KEEP DEVELOPING
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll respond to the pertinent issues below :)
2 - relics are coming! I mentioned them in the most recent dev log
3 - those aren’t bugs, though the enemy having an X tile was an accident. The gold retained is a logarithmic function to benefit players that die early into a run.
5 - that’s a bug! I’ll see if I can fix it.
6 - that’s intentional. The enemy will always use the tiles in the order presented, so you can plan ahead.

It's fun. It's pretty interesting to game. I enjoyed this time
I like this game, I wish there was a multiplayer were I could 1v1 a Friend though. Still a 10/10 game.
Really fun! Super creative concept

Very creative!! Wish I was the one who came up with this haha. Good job!!
