Game's Take on the Theme
The bosses get a random buff during the fight, which is chosen by a spin of a roulette. The game is also Casino-Themed with one of the bosses being a Slot machine which chooses attacks by spinning

Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
Yes, we made all the art and music, but we used a couple sounds

If not, please link to any asset packs or resources used here.

Great job! Had fun playing this, I was really engaged in defeating the slot machine hahaha, some combo attacks were nasty.

Submitted

You did a great job with the art and sounds it all fits well together. Controls were a little tricky but a little practice helped. It was fun to play!

Submitted

Had a hard time getting used to the controls. I think space being jump is ingrained in my soul and its hard to get used to z being jump. I like the aesthetic of the game and I think the idea is nice.  I wish either the first boss had way less health or we had a tutorial section.

fun game with a cool art style that fits together really well with all the bosses and abilities they have! i do wish the dash ability let's you get i-frames for invincibility or something while dashing to help avoid some of the abilities, or a variety of attacks for the player character would be cool to see! would love to see this game expanded upon further!

Submitted(+1)

The art is really nice and cohesive, and I love how the bosses all have clear telegraphs for their attacks (the dice faces changing was my favorite)! I do think the player's attack range should be a big longer, and the amount of boss health could be tweaked a bit.

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, everyone is saying that melee is too short lol, we will fix it as soon as uploads will be up again!

Really liked the graphics, the boss design, the music and the idea

I think the combat was a bit unfair tho:

  • The attack distance is too short: too many times I got hit just trying to get close to the boss
  • The boss health is too high
  • the wheel effect can ruin a good run easly

That said I really like everything else about the game, the attcks are creative the effects are funny and the controls are responsive!

Great game overall!

Thanks for the feedback, the first two points definitely need balancing, but the wheel is supposed to do that, the point is to flip the run around even for a short period of time, to freshen it up and make it progressively harder while also ideologically tying it with luck and casino odds

Cool entry I like the mechanic and the art feels authentic!

Submitted(+1)

Having the playing cards being the health bar was a genius idea, the animations are really nice and everything ties together really well

Couldn’t get used to the controls, but the art and music is really nice

Submitted(+1)

I really liked the concept and the idea of having the roulette wheel decide your fate for the boss. I liked the custom music too :D. I just thought that the health pool was a bit high for the first boss. It was a fun game though!

Im addicted to gambling

turns out that we're all in this together

good game i liked the art style but why the platforms repeats same i mean you could add some parkour to make it harder

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, could you specify what you mean by parkour, like are you suggesting that in Plinko boss you should climb up instead of repeatable platforms?

Very cool concept and stylish visuals! + really nice music. I also liked the boss fight designs, but it REALLY needs a tutorial—I had to get used to the controls. But I can feel how much effort went into the game—great work!

Developer

Appreciate the feedback, we will totally add keybind changing system and a tutorial!

Submitted(+2)

Controls were horrible, atleast for me, I just couldn't get used to them. Otherwise game seemed nice. The art style was good as well as the music.

Submitted(+1)

I liked the visual style and music. The game needs tutorial and the controls are implemented strangely for me, it took some getting used to. But I still couldn't beat the first boss. It seems to me that he has too much health, the first phase before the roulette appeared took about a minute. I also got the feeling that the boss collider is more than a visual representation of it.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your feedback, thats something a lot of people pointed out, we will add a keybinding system the moment the jam ends and will work on balancing, can you tell me what is it that you mean by "boss collider is more than a visual representation of it"?.

Developer(+2)

I think he means the hitbox is more than the sprite

Submitted(+2)

Yeah, exactly

Submitted(+1)

OMG i loved the artwork on this one. The Life display was incredibly smart! Music and SFX were on point as well.

About the gameplay, I felt that it was too hard! I gave it a lot of tries and did not managed to beat the boss :( But I guess thats just skill issue XD I might come back for this one afterwards, because I really loved your artstyle here. Great game!

Developer(+1)

Already working on balancing, appreciate the feedback!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for your feedback! If you're having trouble defeating bosses, you can enable God Mode by pressing Page Up + Page Down. This will let you see all of the boss attacks!

Submitted(+2)

Fun idea, the whole animations were great, a lot of potential, keep up the awesome work

Submitted

I really love your creative idea! Incorporating casino elements into the game is so innovative. Playing your game gave me lots of inspiration! It's fantastic! The only suggestion for improvement would be the controls - for example, it would be great if the jump action was mapped to the space bar! 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! We will add the keybind change system as soon as uploads gonna be up again!

While playing this game I definitely felt a lot of love put into it, from the cohesion of the boss themes and mannerisms, the codes, the themed menu, etc. I really think you guys should just keep at it and make more and more games, because the qualms I have with this game are all game feel things that you just build up as you make more games. For example, I think melee combat can be a very tricky domain if you don't have your bosses take hit stun, because it feels like you're hitting a wall rather engage in a fight. I also think things like the 2nd fight having movable platforms that the player doesn't stick to just feels very weird and makes it so that the player can't focus on actually playing the game since they're using most of their brainpower to inch forward bit by bit to stay on the platform. The more you make games the more you're just gonna get that intuition for what feels right so I really hope you guys just keep creating and building your strengths because you already have such a strong basis here! 

Developer

Thank you so much! We will be adding more bosses and features to the game after jam. We really appreciate your feedback and will consider it!

Submitted(+1)

There's some incredible potential here, I love the dice boss's animations and indications. I feel like the player's jump needs to be a little less floaty and the melee range should be increased and have better impact. Good job!

Developer(+1)

We'll definitely do the balancing after the jam ends, thanks for your feedback and I absolutely love your game!
