The game has also gotten a lot harder since then (unrelated to the time / round thing), which might be affecting your experience of the game. I'm currently working on an update that will fix the difficulty.
We will probably add back something like an endless mode at some point. Personally I don't really get the appeal of endless modes but I know that many people enjoy them. Glad you're enjoying the game!
We definitely need to clarify this one or replace it because many people have the same confusion about this as you. In the meantime, I'll explain for you so you don't have to be as frustrated while you wait for us to fix it. It refers to all the cards on the left and right sides of the board, not just in its row.
There are three types of promotions in the game currently. 1 extra life, 1 extra perk slot, or an extra starting perk (chosen randomly from the uncommon perks). It chooses two for you to pick between. The downsides are either double reroll cost, double exit cost, start with a loan or ban 5 perks at random. We are probably going to be replacing these systems soon though so you might not want to spend time working on it.
Cool! The game is going to keep changing for a while as we develop it, but any version you make will still be a neat time capsule of the game at a certain time.
Ah I see. The clock was what limited the time in the game before the bomb so when you said you hate the bomb feature I assumed you meant in relation to that older one. It sounds like mostly you feel frustrated that you can't get to the big numbers as often as you like? Is it that you get to 1000 and you want to keep going, or you're having trouble getting to 1000?
The PC and Mac versions are updated but we've stopped updating the browser version because we've reached the limits of what the browser will support. We are going to make a separate page for the web version soon to make that more clear.
Bot accounts have been posting these more and more in the comments of my games and it's getting frustrating reporting and deleting the comments. I hope the itch team finds a way to stop this in the future!
I replied on your other comment on the update post but I will reply here as well so others can see.
Unfortunately, we have run into the barrier of what WebGL will allow to run in a browser. For this reason, we cannot update the web version anymore. We are in the process of moving the browser version to a separate itch page which will be called Mr Magpie's Classic Card Game to make this distinction less confusing. We are sad that we can't keep the web version up to date with the downloadable anymore because lots of people can only play the web version. It was always going to have to happen at some point though (as you could probably tell from the longer and longer load times)
