OrbHand is a card management game with some RTS elements. Help the wizard build a Tower, recruit allies and cast spells to defeat the hordes of evil!

Developed by a single dev and illustrated by a single artist. Check it on steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2122180/...

You can build the arcana pyramid, which essentially functions as a turret. It turns mana into missiles, infinetinely with a mana core.
The enemies now prioritize certains cards, like the Tower and the Warrior.
You can place your cards tactically and create defenses.

I've working on the detection system for both enemies and allies. Now allied characters are quite good at finding enemies before they are attacked.
I think the game is slowly becoming a RTS xD
Patch 4 will probably launch next week!

I am giving each boss and some allies special skills. The allied dragon breathes fire, and the Kraken summons a wave (still no animation added) that pushes your cards and damages them.
Which skills would you like to see?

I am working on Patch 4. This time the focus will be new content and adding achievements. I want to make every part of the map feel a bit more unique.
This will take some time, but know that the game is still in active development!

Patch 3 is now published! There are some quality of life changes and bugfixes.
For example, now you get a visual indicator of when a map part is unlocked.
What would you like to see in the game in the next patch?

In the next Patch, character will target the enemy if they are attacked to ensure they can defend themselves.
Spawning enemies on buildings like the dragon lair will automatically unasign the character, so that you dont accidentally spawn too many foes.

Continuing todays development, I re-added the functionality to count what is inside of a stack. This time it also indicates what you would get when cutting a stack.

If you already have a recipe when you click the unlock card, instead of creating one mana, it creates a card you dont have, or one from the pack if you have them all.
Also added some checks to try to correct the bug where allies dont responf to attacks.

Chaaarge!!!!!
I think the combat has improved a lot since the first versions. It can improve further, but I am happy with the progress.

I am now working with a rally point system to make managing characters more easy, something that will be far more important in the full game.

Working on a chest that stores one kind of resource. It should help you manage your endless stacks.

Added a little glowing effect to make it easier to notice when you have an available recipe inside a building.
