Good news you're promoted! Bad news its a punishment. You've forgotten to bring in the coffee too many times so you'll be running Conscious.net this meeting as a backup. This state of the art program allows you to keep connected users awake by stimulating their brain waves. You have no clue how it works, but lucky for you they've made it into a simple deck builder for ease of use. Assemble your thoughts and move your units across the board to fight back the client's waves of boredom.

General Gameplay

Goal

Your goal is to use your cards to move units to the other side of the board in order to directly inflict damage on the enemy based on your unit's remaining health. Inflict enough damage and you win the round. The enemy will send out units of their own to do the same. 

Playing Cards

You are limited to a hand of three cards per turn and playing cards cost AP (You can hover over cards to get a description and can cancel playing a card by pressing esc). At the end of the turn you will be dealt replacement cards from your deck (unplayed cards will remain in your deck, you can remove cards from your hand by right clicking at no cost). 

Attacking

If opposing units meet they will enter a rock, paper, scissors match (their current move is indicated by an icon next to the unit's health). While both units will take damage during the attack, winning moves will inflict double damage to the loser.  You can change the attack move of your units by left clicking on them at the cost of 1 AP point. 

After a Round

If you win a round you will receive an email prompting you to choose from a selection of cards to add to your deck. This will be followed by another email asking you to choose one card to remove from your deck. After you've made your selections another email will be sent with the next level attached. There are five levels in total to get through. Good luck and have fun!

Controls

Left click on cards in your hand to play them (press esc to cancel)

Right click on cards in your hand to discard them

Left click on your units to change their attack order

I was confused at the beginning (it took me 10 min to figure out that the rock-paper-scissors game had been right in front of me from the beginning^^) , but then I really enjoyed finding strategies. And I lost at the 2nd round :(. But nice work and cool music ! :)

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

You're welcome :) I would really appreciate it if you could also take a look at my game and give me some feedbacks (on my page plzzz so I can read it easily). I think the weak point is the gameplay becauseI ran out of time to fix some bugs, so I'm removing a lot of mechanics. But I need playtesters =) https://ariako.itch.io/heatwaves

Absolutely! Both Jusbusy and I will take look at it over the weekend and leave feedback. Thanks again!
