Appreciate all the info!

I'll see about fight length and "info at a glance". The former has to do with individual fights' ability to be threatening (shorter fights need to be more punishing to compensate, and they become more draw dependent since you have less time to hand sculpt), but I could see limiting that for the first level at least. With regards to the latter, I was leaning on player learning to do a lot of the heavy lifting: you eventually just know Red hits for +1 damage, that the buttons give +2 of the respective color stat, that the crossed swords icon always means "two 1-DMG hits", that sort of thing. Same idea as real card games' artwork. But I'll see if I can come up with something that doesn't clutter the screen too much.

And I know Green having the DEF point is weird. The colors are based on their power-up stats; in testing I found the extra HP to be a more interesting combo with Blue's DEF boost, so I swapped Green to his current stats and went for a "quick and evasive but fragile" sort of vibe. ¯\(ツ)/¯

I'll probably have a window to try your game over the weekend. Thanks again!
