Summary

Embark on a thrilling journey as the Cardstronaut in this 2.5D roguelike deck-building adventure! You wake up as an astronaut from a cloning bay without any memory of where you are or what you are doing. The base AI tells you that you must find a way to defeat the aliens in the base and rescue your colleagues, but you have no memory of this - how much do you trust it? You don't have many weapons, so you must utilize strategy and tactics to activate the flame throwers installed on the ceiling throughout the base to defeat the aliens and uncover what's actually going on.

Gameplay

Play fuel cards to get fuel in green zone

The gameplay is a 1D tactics game where the enemies move left/right and you must balance fuel and keep it in the exact range before you end your turn to activate the flame throwers. If you overfill the gasoline, then you will lose all gasoline and get hurt yourself instead. The enemies move towards you so you have to predict where they will be when you finally do manage to activate the flamethrower.

Position enemies tactically to win battles

Just fueling up and activating the flamethrowers is not enough. You need to make tactical decisions on which flamethrower to activate based on the enemies' move intentions and even force them to move using cards to win battles

Install Mods on Flamethrowers

Unlock on install mods on each of the flamethrowers at the start of the battle to activate complex synergies to gain cards, energy, just straight up damage and much much more. You will need to strategize which mod to install where to maximize your chances of winning.
