Play Roulette
Cruellete's itch.io pageGame'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.

Cool entry I like the mechanic and the art feels authentic!
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
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
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!
Appreciate the feedback, we will totally add keybind changing system and a tutorial!
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.
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.
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"?.
I think he means the hitbox is more than the sprite
Yeah, exactly
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!
Already working on balancing, appreciate the feedback!
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!
Fun idea, the whole animations were great, a lot of potential, keep up the awesome work
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!
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!
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!
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!
We'll definitely do the balancing after the jam ends, thanks for your feedback and I absolutely love your game!
I appreciate you putting in the god mode. I struggled with the controls of the game, but putting this in let me see the content. I think the ideas are solid, and particularly like the ui choices and bit of flair like the cards health and dice faces.
For a second I thought this will just be a relaxing slot machine game...nope :)
But yeah, this is so hard, couldn't kill anything :D Kept dying over and over. The controls also felt a bit hard for me, but maybe I am just old and slow :) Like the vibe and graphics though, looked pretty cool. Well done!
Would love it if you can play and review my submission, thanks!
Thanks for you feedback, we will fix controls and work on polishing the combat.
We're already working on a keybind system for the post-jam, and we will rebalance the bosses for a more fun experience, maybe add difficulty levels. Thanks for the feedback!
I played and rated your game, great job!
Could be a skill issue from my end but I had a rough time trying to hit the bosses. A ranged attack or a larger melee hitbox would benefit the gameplay. I love how the main menu is stylized and casino theming is always cool. Nice job!
Thanks for your feedback, thats something many people have pointed out and we will work on polishing it.
me also that Is left-click is supposed to jump? had to me also is this a wrong line of code any way the game is cool it is a tiny error but the game is easer than mine acn you rate my game link =https://itch.io/jam/boss-rush-jam-2025/rate/3292181
you can change it through settings but theres a visual bug where the text thats supposed to say what action is that keybind corresponding to isnt showing up. I will rate your game also.
ok thx
I really like the art but I had a lot of trouble with the controls. I wanted to reconfigure but didn't seem to work.
Is left-click is supposed to jump?
No, seems like a bug. The default controls should be Z - Jump, X - Attack and C - Dash. Probably happened because of the last minute control system we tried to add, and it's only on the HTML version of the game. If we can rollback during the jam we will, the version is uploaded but unselected. Also, are you not able to change controls? Just type in the key you want to assign, if this doesn't work properly please let us knoww.
Just checked, it seems to work on my end, its in settings the bottom three buttons, can you give us more context to what doesnt work? only bug is a visual bug which foresome reason doesnt render text next to the buttons that states what action the button corresponds with (top one is jump, middle one is attack and the bottom one is dash)
Now i don't see annything to reconfigure controls anymore. Is that normal?
Anyway, I tried to force myself with the original controls and it was a bit hard for me to hit the boss, I kept taking damage from the spawning boss all the time (my fault, I was always jumping ^^).
I'll give another shot with god mod if i have the chance.
Really like the art and very very cool music!
Greatly appreciate your feedback, regarding the reconfiguration setting yes its normal, we rolled back a previous version where it wasnt added yet.
Best game oat on my soul
