It feels very RNG-based. The positive and negative cards are drawn from the same deck, you can get lucky with 5 positive cards or unlucky with 3 negative cards. Maybe there's an underlying mechanic to control the ration of positive/negative cards, but it is not obvious to the player.
I could see this game being expanded: - Negative actions could reward points to buy new cards - Negative actions could be gradually added to your deck, displaying what you need to prepare for - Different streamers with their own set of negative action - Different watchers with their own starting deck and possible additions
Whether you continue to work on this game or not, I wish you success in your project!
You're totally right about the RNG-ness of it. It was made for a 9 day game jam and we didn't have the mechanics solidified until half-way through. There was no time to balance the game unfortunately.
Great ideas! At the moment I want to take a break from it, but if I ever come back, I definitely want to introduce decks and remove the randomness as much as possible, as well as add cards with actions other than simple number increase/decrease.
Thank you again for taking the time to play and comment!
