Artwokr for the game really good and i like the style of gameplay however I think would be better if enemies did not bounce you into each other enemies as can die very fast because that. But otherwise fun game with great art work

I loved the art style of the game. It was really fun to play as well. I loved the main concept and it was definitely one of the best games of this jam.

wow really polished and solid fun game, was really impressed that there was fully fleshed out settings in the game, the first fight was great but I think it would be better if little bit less "little mushrooms" were spawning.

It's a pretty fun game! while the design of the first boss is strong, it's a bit too difficult and I see im not the only one who failed to beat it. I like the wheel of fortune style progression, though! I'd be able to enjoy it a bit more if I could beat the first boss, but as others have expressed, it's probably a skill issue lol. Great work overall!

Haha, Thanks for your feedback ! 
It's definitely  not  a skill issue but a balance issue that we couldn't resolve in time.

You'll find here some tips to take down the bosses:

Very nice pixel art, the animations look so smooth the game is a little bit harder than i think it should be but besides that theres only the main menu that looks to simplistic but  AWESOME GAME!!!!!

Very cute artstyle and very nice music. But I feel it was pretty challening, it might be skill issue on my part, I wasn't able to beat the first boss, I was dying because the tiny mushrooms spawned right on my feet and they'd deal damage even after I killed them, or I killed them when spawning and they'd spawn anyways. Yet, I still wanted to try and beat it, but everytime I restarted for the third time the game would crash. Anyways, the take of the theme is pretty original, you not only have the classic wheel of fortune, but your weapon spins, very nice.

Besides the difficulty, I feel this game has strong potential and I'd love to see it grow.

Thanks for the feedback! Definitely agree with you about the balance issues, the bugs related to damages after death and the crashes. All very easily fixable, we sadly ran out of time !


Thanks again for playing the game, it means a lot to us :)

The graphics are very good, it's a bit difficult, but it's a great game :)
