Dwarfing Dreams

Why haven't there been any updates for so long? Are you planning a major update or are you just taking a break from development?

I noticed Slimantha can play "Even More Me" as all her cards, which doesn't break but just doesn't do anything.  

Is there a way to see effects from the previous enemy turn?  Like if she plays the one that damages you when you play a card.

found few bugs in 0.2 update. played just one game, so cant confirm them 100%

card "giant lick" shows Delta>240%, but it worked when i was smaller

new potion cards for mage sometimes have value way over 40 and stay in deck. for example healing potion had 160 heal

if i find more, i'll reply under this comment

can you fix it for Mac it doesn't work

the first level isnt beatable with starting deck

you have to get 200% to do any damage lol

Interesting idea for a game. Curious to see how it goes in the future, though for the current state here's my thoughts. Basically all types need more cards/variety/effects to make gameplay interesting, beyond a first couple games, but the core idea is here.

1. Magic/mana path, pretty lacking. You just draw more cards, but they don't do anything else so if it's your primary you start week, end up on the backfoot, and only can stream roll potentially later on (but if squished/sat on/gooed not even that well potentially, also it punishes you for drawing too many cards in one turn). Magic needs something else, special debuffs, shrink spells, grow over time, growth on enemy card/action for X turns, shields, something more than now. The slime specificly counters this build, with moves that make you take damage on using more cards, or for drawing things out when they get bigger.

2. Physical/health, didn't try this character, but looks middeling from a glance.

3. Pride is very powerful. It heavily comes down to the first two or three turns, but if things go ok then you steamroll into auto win very easily against the current enemy. With more height, they dont do damage, but play catchup cards. But every grow card also is a draw card, so you can just keep going up like doubilng height each turn, if not more. Mixed with then some good debuffs to limit enemy actions once bigger, and now you branch out to others for actual damage but ya it seems easy.
The part there's no real growth cards that dont rely on you being bigger already beyond the one or two you start with in her deck though means if you miss turn one or two, you just lose. If you get a bad turn 1 draw, and slime starts with growth and double card effect you basicly lose just like that. No real catchup mechanics in built, and way too much steamroll once over build (but enemy doesn't damage you once you get ahead well so works fine).

4. Subservant one is fairly good, played once for easy win, you give up some height, but also can start dealing damage right off the bat. It's just a steady damage output that scales up at an ok rate, but likely out damages the enemy, just carefull if they start grabbing you and locking your cards out near the end. No real counter play to those sadly.

5. Servant/special type forget the name (foxes deck) is also alright. While most of those cards are for catchup it feels like, taking damage to take a bit of height, and honestly I never use them, the ones she starts with that just steals height are good, and also help drawing cards. Quickly turned into a hybrid build since you can easily spec into any other card types quickly from her to bring n damage or draw 4 cards to help as you need making it the most flexible.

Requires immensee tweaking, haven't figured out how to beat THE FIRST LEVEL despite this being a demo. Art is good but that isn't hard with AI art. Has a good premise but again difficulty tweaking is necessary, at least for me.

Im not seeing the android version in the downloads...

Without exaggeration, the best size game I have ever seen. To say that before defeating the slime I lost somewhere 10 times? Well, okay, at least even a loss feels like a win. I hope you continue to develop this game, I wish you good luck. Maybe soon I become patron just for support you

One of the best size games, and it's still just in alpha. Can't wait for the full release.

The game is great, and very refreshing, especially how you are smart enough to put such concepts together into a working game. Brilliantly done. Although, would you please remove the newly-added screen shaking? It's inducing motion sickness and headaches.

this game has insane potential dude 

Does the game work on mac? Cuz I cannot install it properly

Seems that the penalty cards for draining your deck multiple times in one turn are not included in the card preview. Is this intended?

Wtf why did you removed the volumen from the game by default? I can't change It, although I change the bar here It doesn't change the volumen, so theres not sound 

Hey,this game is great so far! I played every character and the hardest one was definitely the yellow one (I forgot the name) I hope the game gets updated soon!

PS. I wish there was a sandbox mode where the enemy doesn't deal damage so you can test out strategies/just mess around

Okay, I've just played through the demo with every character and here is what I've found:

Positive

- I love the story and the images and how everything is set up. It would also be cool, if you'd make the curves bigger if they grow bigger
- I love the mechanics of the card types and how you can combine them.
- The UI is bug free, smooth and super clean, only in the shop it is a bit confusing

Bugs

- Whenever you have two identical cards in your hand, it will always choose the leftmost of them. This makes it look like the game is choosing cards you didn't selected.
- The stronger green cards you can buy deal less damage than described (10 and 15 instead of 12 and 16)
- When losing, it always shows the bad ending with the blue character.

Balancing

- While it's great characters have their own specific cards, you shouldn't lock healing to only a single character.
- Since you can't have healing cards, playing any of the red height draining cards is super risky and most of the time not worth it
- And since playing red cards is super risky, the entire idea of the pride type becomes useless, making it by far the weakest type to play with.
- The characters are super unbalanced. Red was easy, purple was extremely easy and with green, I've won literally in the second turn. Yellow and Blue on the other hand were extremely hard, especially yellow. I needed to reset the fight over a dozen times, because the slime would easily outgrow me every turn, making my deck useless
- While having a universal type is great, I don't think it's a good idea to have a starting character with that type. Maybe an unlockable one, sure, but with a red character as a starting character, getting any cards is way easier than with any other character.
- Cards need more versatility and utilities inside their types. Restricting them to do only one thing makes some types more valuable than others. For example, you NEED green or purple to win, while yellow is pretty much useless and red is only good for the fetish content.
- You need ways to remove cards from your deck. Over time, cards become useless and need to be replaced, other times, you can pollute your deck with too many weak or free cards.

Other Suggestions

- Please make a small view when hovering over a card that shows it in detail. You can not read any of the card effects when you have too many of them in your hand, which is quite easy to do with blue or yellow cards.
- Add royalty free music. Leaving the game mute is quite odd. If you don't know how to make or commission music, it is not a shame to use royalty free music.

Over all, it is a great game and I can't wait to see progress on it. You've made a great fundamental design, it only needs to be tweaked with more knowledge and research about how to design cards.

No way this gets released the moment I was done with Growing Rivalry, another card-based growth game.

First of all, great game! Bang up job for an alpha 10/10

As for feedback:
- Even if I select "metric" in settings, the bio of the characters and intro stories still show imperial units
- During the intro stories, while the height comparisons to other physical entities are enjoyable, I'd love for it to reference standardized measurement units more often.
- The only way to advance intro stories seem to be with a left click. Pressing enter or space bar would be cool too
- I love the size flavor text you have incorporated into the tutorial explanations. Absolute banger. 
- During gameplay, while the size delta is the only thing necessary for gameplay, I'd love for my character to be displayed in full graphics next to my opponent for a much more real size disparity representation... #height_comparison (even though I understand you wanting to play with perspectives)
- I don't find it very intuitive that whenever I select a card, the card that gets played is the left most card in hand with that same title
- Right now, when I hover over a card it doesn't zoom in enough for text to be readable. When learning about new cards I have to individually right click each one to read them. I admit the graphics are very intuitive and should allow for fast memorization of each card's effects, but I thought it should still be pointed out in favor of accessibility and responsiveness 
- I don't think it was explained in the tutorial that the maximum amount of cards you can hold in hand is 7
- It's absolutely impressive that in a game of "growth" you've found an amazing way to be able to succeed at the game while playing from much smaller stature with cards that benefit that sort of gameplay
- The "Viscious Rivalry" card is awesome
- The way to exit the card compendium isn't obvious
- Every time I re-open the settings it seems to default to "Hybrid" measuring units

I absolutely adore this game and can't wait to see how it evolves into a fully featured card game! Keep up the awesome work

The Card Compendium either doesn't have or is very hard to find way out of the card listing page.
