I really love the concept of this game, and wished it could be explored further. Currently, it's really difficult to tell what the next cards are due to how small the screen is, so it makes it difficult to make decisions of whether to go up or stay down.
I also think it's extremely hard to calculate what to collect while playing, though that's not a big issue; it just kind of defeats the purpose of the game.
Anyway, it's still a runner where you collect points and avoid obstacles, but with added Poker elements, which I think is so fun! Maybe if the game was not random, and instead scripted, with multiple levels you could choose to take, and with each level having a certain level of difficulty depending on the card it rewards you with, it would be so fun. It would be kind of a rogue-like!
So you know what cards you've already collected, and decide and weigh the risks and rewards.
