I love the concept of a mad-libs style game like this. It is super interesting and would love to see more of this concept built upon but there needs to be some streamlining with building your deck of playable words.
Scrolling though the cards would probably help a lot (at least for me) and easier to read the aspects of the cards, even if its as simple as boarder colors that can help differentiate between verbs and nouns for an example to help know what I'm looking at a glance.
Possibly even having a discard option for parts of your hand in the events that you have nothing but verbs that don't make sense in the sentence being shown, or possibly having 2 decks (nouns and verbs) to help build a coherent sentence even if the decks are just filler and have no bonuses or damage related to them.
The game itself shows a lot of promise to me and I could see something like this being a very unique twist that could help it stand out among many of the games that I generally see that are out there. Keep up the good work. I would love to see more!
really unique concept and super funny!
We did dev up to the wire on this one... hope you all like it!
