oh wow I was not expecting this when I saw the thumbnail. It's a fun and engaging experience and the gameplay never feels boring or repetitive. The fights are so dynamic and it's all just really well polished. Great game I enjoyed playing :D
Such a cool and unique concept! Turning hammer throw into a combat mechanic makes for some really intense and strategic battles. The risk of being unarmed after a throw adds great tension, and every fight feels dynamic. Wish there was more! ❤🌻
Thank you so much for such kind words! Really happy you picked up on the strategic elements we were aiming for with the hammer throw mechanic!
Pretty fun game, I love the aesthetics and the sounds of the game. I like that you've made a wheel of fortune after death, pretty neat take on the theme.
I feel the control could use some work, the dodge roll only rolls forward and I'd prefer if you could dodge roll in the direction you are moving, that would make dodging attacks easier, also the transitions between rolling and not rolling takes a while. Besides that everything else is fine.
I did spot a bug in which the boss just decided to go away and not fight anymore, so I was unable to finish the fight until I restarted. But that's the only bug I've found, everything else is quite polished.
This is our first game jam too, and from first jammer to another fellow first jammer, this game is pretty good, I can see potential in it, would love to see it develop further after the jam.
Thank you for such detailed and thoughtful feedback! And glad you enjoyed our wheel of fortune death mechanic!
Your suggestion about the dodge roll direction and transition timing is super helpful - that would definitely make the combat feel more fluid and responsive. We'll keep that in mind for improvements!
The visuals were stunning and the spin after death mechanic is a nice take on the theme. The transition between states (attacking and dodging) takes a while though and sometimes I'd find myself stuck in default pose. Overall very fun game, would love to see a full, polished release after the jam.
Thank you so much for the feedback!
Very nice game
Thanks!
Thanks!
