its an online battle arena for bosses fighting other people's created bosses, you can sell your bosses, buy pieces, so a lot of exchange, hope it fits the theme

Hey! I gotta say, the music is catchy, and I like the menus' clean look. I had fun building a boss, but unfortunately, I ran into a few bugs, but from your replies, I assume most are probably already fixed. I'll list them anyways, in case you aren't aware.

I started with no parts and no money, but a new career fixed it. I got the starting 1000 and default pieces then. After making a boss and finding a fight, the menu got stuck at the bet option. I had to restart around three times before the two bosses appeared. There was a lot of lag, and after I lost, I made a new boss, and tried again. It got stuck on the bet menu again. There is the possibility that it isn't getting stuck, but it just looks like it due to a lot of lag at those parts.

These are just some recommendations: when building the boss, it would be handy to be able to rotate pieces (maybe this function was there, but I missed it). Also, when you turn off the physics simulation, it would be good if the pieces returned to their position before you pressed the simulate physics button.

I had fun during the building process, and the music made me feel like a mad scientist planning my next scheme. The game has a lot of potential, and I hope to play it after future updates.

Since there are only a few days left, I am rating and giving feedback to games with few ratings. I would appreciate it if you rated my game too. No need to leave a comment, unless you feel like it.

Thanks for the experience =]

oh thanks for such a complete review, I will definitely use your recommendations as a guideline, thank you.
for rotation you can use the arrows when selecting the piece but that is honestly kinda buggy at this moment, we gonna fix it.
returning to original point indeed makes a lot more sense after physics enabled.
oh yes even I have been noticing some lag and I do think its because we have an impressive amount of bosses created and i made the queries that fetch the db data far too stupidly lol that is a fix we are aware.
And we are definitevely playing your game for sure, from the looks already I can see it seems impressive.

An interesting idea! Are you supposed to be able to spend waaaay more money than you have?

Developer(+1)

oh that is kinda something we forgot, but saved the fixing for later until we have an idea what we are going to do about the "rules" of the game ... so basically currently you can be all the way infinitely negative in money lolol ... and you can always restart from zero with 1k in the account

I'm a bit confused, but I understand the idea. It might take a while, but you'll get there!

Not much was explained, I found it overall confusing. I'm not sure I was able to play since it is an online game. But when I entered the arena I saw a blank screen.  My boss also just kinda slid out of existence and I couldn't get it back.

Very ambitious and cool concept. But overall pretty buggy and confusing.

Developer

Hey, thanks for playing, yeah we are surely missing a tutorial here and there ... 

and it all is far from finished ... it will be ... eventually

however, the main mechanics should be working ... more or less

since you were able to go to the arena I assume you were able to create a boss ... 

then when you threw your boss in the arena it was empty is that what happened?

btw if you don't mind, what browser are you playing it with?

Cool concept and use of theme, not my favorite "gameplay" style but I understand the creativity here 3.5/5

Developer(+1)

heeey thanks for playing =)

sticking with my 3.5/5 best of luck!

we lost the majority of our jam ratings if you have a chance to re-save and or re-rate I am making sure to re-rate and review your game a 2nd/3rd time and make sure I gave yours a solid review and or rating! Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience if you read this in time! 

Team Dreamysteria!

thanks again !
