Never played before. Got the ticket by buying the minigun, then spending the rest on gunmen. It's entirely possible that if you spend it all on gunmen, you can just walk away and get the ticket.
utterly satisfying, but could do with a better scoring standard. perhaps, instead of 'perfection or complete failure', an olympic score set: bronze, silver and gold ratings for each level....
the key to a puzzle game is to make the solution impossible until the moment of realization, and then so obvious a child could accomplish it. Not, as in this game, to make the solution obvious but depend on split second timing.
good. quite good. the only things that would help would be adding complexity. true instants (that can actually be played at any time) would help, as would a post-combat main phase. also, changing the name to M:tG would help a bit (I'm sorry, but all CCGs owe a debt to Richard Garfield). Still, you've got balance, and that's the hard part.
