Thanks, I’d appreciate it if you could rate it too!
Really fun game. I really enjoyed the art and the overall game play. Great Job. I had a lot of fun.
Omg, this game should have more ratings. How good is the art please. Definitely the best animation I've seen in the jam so far!
I like the mechanics of this and the slot machine fits so well, the 2D graphics and animations remind me of cuphead and other great 2D games, well done!! I rate graphics on top but I like everything, also if you have time please rate my game, thanks!!
Great game!! I must admit that I was not entirely able to understand the connection of the slot machine to the boss rush, but I adore the art and animation sooo much! The plot is lovely and environment top notch as well! I would adore if you made the tutorial less text based but more guide based, for example the wheel host pointing at what you have to click and explaining with a chatbox! Really cool atmosphere, a couple of cutscenes could do great as well!!
Hey what a cute game you got there with unique spin mechanics! Congrats on submission, and good luck!
I rated and reviewed in hopes that you will return the favor of your rate submission of my game below! I'm helping low rated games by rating them!
- If others read this, RATE/REVIEW my game to get me to try yours as well! Thanks!
I liked the idea, it's very interesting. I LOVED the art, it's a little like our game. I loved the backgrounds and all the details in the animation. Could have used a little more game feel, but overall it's a pleasing experience! Keep up with the good work <3
good kids don't gamble.
I really enjoyed the art and the concept for the initial loadout. I had pretty consistent issues with control on my couple of attempted runs. The first time I wasn't able to actually control while the third time I could only move laterally if I was jumping.
Not very fun, though the spin the roulette to get your loadout is a bit interesting.
Beat the ballerina, rolled the wheel for the second match and the start button never appeared, so I couldn't continue the game.
Cards are the best weapon, everything else is just too awkward too use with how much the enemies are moving and how you're damaged by their touch.
Great battle theme, though.
Hi, i'm sorry to hear that you didn't have fun.
About the bug you got, try to not lock anything before spinning for the first time after every fight, in this way start button should appear normally.
Thank you for sharing your opinion!
good game fit the theme and not the best control but arts are super cool your game like mine but i am 3d version can you rate my game = https://itch.io/jam/boss-rush-jam-2025/rate/3292181
really solid visuals but i couldn't even get past the inital slot machine and the tutorials do not pop back up.
Thank you for comment! if the slot machine isnt filled to the line then you cant spin. was that the bug or did you encounter something else. Feedback is very appreciated
I guess it just wasn't clear that the slot machine had to be filled up to the line, if i missed it in the tutorial having the option to look at the tutorial again
