If the opponent goes defend... there is no reason for me not to go both attacking.

I think this should be a draw poker game... get 5 cards.. throw away up to 3... that makes your 5 card hand... place the 5 card... minimum 2 in either offense or defense.... dealer fills in the empty slots in both offense and defense.

I'm back on the main screen after winning but when I clicked on character I'm getting two empty charts and a white circle with a spinning triangle inside as though it is stuck loading.

Otherwise I think I like the game.

Enemies always tend to take off more than I'm ever to deal at a time and start with more health, making it imbalanced. Should I be leveling up or something?

So far fights are boring because the odd is more important that player's strategy.
the interest in poker is that you bet to win money.

If you add an ante mechanism, letting player to choose how important this deal is for him, you could rely on odds for the poker system and the player will play more against it ( and it will be more challenging/rewarding to take an ennemy down on a single all in)

I'm finding it quite addictive now, and get a little thrill when I win.

I can't seem to follow the bookmark. Bookmarking works but I can't follow. I just get an hourglass and facebook freezes.

The battles are shaping up to be good fun. Don't smother them in loads of confusing RPG stuff. Please!

"Quick fights" can go on for quite a long time, especially if as a player I always attack when the opponent blocks and block when the opponent attacks.

The uncertain length of each fight means that I can't simply pop in for a fight when I have a minute to spare.

Moving the cards up and flipping them gets tedious real quick.

It's too big for my 1024 x 600 netbook, which is what I mainly use for Facebook. I'm sure I'm not alone in that.

Right now the payer has a stamina bar (which generally reads 5/5). This is still being balanced and will be activated soon.
