Really well made and quite the hidden gem! The visuals and sound effects are all amazing. I especially like the little ninja noise you make when you dash. My only Issue was the game isn't really intended for wider monitors, I couldn't see the ground and struggled getting though the second boss.
(PS: If you're willing to I'd love it if you can rate and leave some feedback on my game! This is my first ever jam and I'd love to see where I can improve for the future!)
I absolutely loved this game!!!
Maybe one of the best for me, and one of the ones I had the most fun on!
The visuals are great! The sound is great too (I loved the ghost's scream). The controls are fun and the bosses very well done :D
But above all: the little timer and leaderboard that encourages you to speedrun the game in no time at all got me really motivated! In fact, I'm currently 1st (66s) 😎
Oh! and I haven't even mentioned the basic mechanic, the randomization of our skills between each boss. We've seen games that randomize everything and anything in this game jam, but I don't know why, here I loved it. When you're trying to speedrun, having one heart more or less counts for a lot. So anyway! Bravo bravo bravo!
Wow, 66s is fantastic. Thanks for playing the game, I'm glad you liked it so much.
It would appear as if we a pretty similar game but different in many aspects, I really enjoyed to the mechanic to get new combat bonuses but it would have been nice for some more visual feedback but given that this is a jam your game was really fun and I enjoyed it
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, the slot machine could have been a bit flashier, but oh well. Thanks for playing, anyways.
Absolutely spectacular yet brutal game!
The visual are amazing, the pixel art animation is fluid, the particles are beautiful, the music is wierd and tense, the sound effects are AMAZING, so realistic but so fitting!
The combat is dynamic and the special effects are all fun!
Great game!!!
The difficulty was something I slowly began to realize a bit too late. If you know a few tricks it becomes very easy, which made me foolishly increase the overall difficulty to compensate, which makes the average player's experience rather tough.
Thanks for playing. I'm glad you liked it so much.
Yes, the game is hard but it isn't unfair, I think the difficulty is not really a problem :)
Don't be deceived by the simple graphics. This is a brutal game! And you can get addicted to the gambling mechanic!
Haha. Thanks for playing.
Really polished overall! I love how different the bosses are, even if their difficulty has a pretty wide rage over the game. The second boss only took me one try, it maybe could use a response pattern to players sticking close to them? But the ghost boss was also wayyy harder to hit than anything else, during my first couple tried they floated out of my jump range for the whole fight. I really like how the all the bosses have different attack niches, going from straight projectiles to arced quills to melee attack definitely kept it fresh!
The slot machine for rolling fight modifiers was definitely a nice addition, although it would be cool to see a little more tying it to the rest of the game, like is this a gambler's graveyard? Or are you fighting on the side of the god of luck?
Controls were honestly a highlight, the dodge felt really responsive and I picked up on the attack range almost immediately
Fair feedback on the slot machine. Some better story tie-in would have been cool. I worked hard on the controls, so I'm glad you liked them. Thanks for playing.
Really great game all around! I loved the art style and the sounds were good too (especially the ghost, its voice was extremely hot). The slot machine was very well implemented, even though at one point I had to fight a boss that dealt 300% damage TT
Lol, yeah some more design over the randomness would have been a good idea; maybe avoiding more than two negatives or something. Thanks for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The game is really cool, but there are a lot of controls. In the fight against the ghost, I got 100% more damage. And I'm going to have to agree with Vampir, the ghost has a really hot voice
Thanks for the feedback. VampirATK may be on to something, lol.
Really enjoyed the individual boss mechanics they all really gave off a unique and fun theme throughout.
Really nice take on the theme with the slot machine felt really nice and added a lot of replay ability to the game.
overall really nice feeling and enjoyable game!
also the ghost spitting noise was pretty hot...
Thanks for the feedback and pretty wha?!??!
