How can I reach a score of 20 when selecting only 5 cards?

It is difficult to achieve a score of 20 with the current setup as enemies often require more than 20 points even on 1-star difficulty. The floating animation of the cards also complicates selection due to its movement off the mouse.

Why does the game break for monitors with aspect ratios other than 16:9?

The game's GUI is designed primarily for 16:9 aspect ratio screens. Using borderless fullscreen or windowed modes on non-16:9 displays can cause issues, such as the arrow on the right side of the screen becoming unvisible. Switching to a windowed mode with an appropriate resolution like 2048x1152 may resolve these problems.

How do I fill up the heart in the inventory faster?

Battle Mechanics

• If an enemy score is purple or blue, match or exceed it with cards of the same color to cancel their effects.
• Red scores represent health damage; failing them does not affect gameplay directly.
• Failing a blue score results in taking one hit (3 hits total before game over).
• Failing a purple score causes your partner to drink an unknown potion, potentially detrimental.
• Use the discard function to remove up to 5 cards twice per turn for better odds of survival.

Game Progression and Inventory Management

• Each battle progresses you through stages (e.g., 1/8, 2/8) until reaching the boss.
• Manage your inventory carefully as it has a limit of 20 items; sell or discard unnecessary ones.
• Equip perks in your inventory before choosing fights to optimize gameplay.
• Upgrade attack and protection cards first for better performance.

Card Types and Upgrades

• RED cards deal damage, BLUE cards prevent damage by matching scores, PURPLE cards are corruption-related, YELLOW cards multiply your card scores.
• Each card can have up to 4 separate upgrades (+1 and +2 count as one upgrade each).
• Upgrade multiplier cards with multipliers first for better results.

Tips and Tricks

• Equip at least two or three rings early on, as they scale every 3 enemies killed.
• Use the 'cheating' perk twice to double card plays.
• Training perks do not increase upgrade limits beyond 5 crafted upgrades per card.
