Love the idea! The turn table gimmick, and how the upgrades act as a double-edged sword is great. One minor problem is that when the enemies are being hunted, they ignore walls and escape the field...is that on purpose?

Developer

Thanks so much, i actually lost the final 5 hours i spent on the game so i had that fixed, and i have everything actually pretty polished..

A cool take on the theme. I liked that it was a physical table that you were turning, and having three roles split between two parties was a good way to add some extra variation.

When you have the gun, the enemies just immediately run away and disappear, which felt a bit disappointing. Maybe having all the enemies that was already in the area stay in the arena would have felt more like you were now hunting them? Otherwise you're just taking a few pot shots at the last fleeing ones and it's all over.

That's quite an original idea, I like it.

Role reversal implementation is fascinating.

The game is a bit rough around the edges, enemies spawn and go through walls sometimes, no music/sound effects, and you can see the default environment behind the walls.

(I see that you lost some progress due to corruption, that's unfortunate)

Lots of fun! Really liked being able to reverse my own role!

Pretty nice game, very cool concept, unfortunately I think I encoutered some bugs, I've seen that you can buy upgrades oon screns but I had no way of doing that :<

Developer

Thank you, i made the upgrades, sound effects, more balancing and polish but i lost it due to corrupted files :(

This was a clever idea! Came out well. Check out our game Treasure Hunted if you get a chance and let us know what you think!

I think that it isn't nice to go to others' people sites and just advertise your game

I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm new to Itch and the Game Jam so I'm not sure of the etiquette but I do know that we put a lot of effort into our game and are proud of how it came out. This is a competition based on ratings, I'm trying to make sure our game gets played and rated by as many people as possible. You might notice that I didn't just shamelessly plug our game, I also played and rated Wishbone's game and complimented it saying it was clever and came out well. I will gladly play and rate your game as well.

It is ok to advertise your game I personally use discord for it, you can also rate swap with other people on discord

Cool. Well, Wishbone_Games I apologize if I was out of line. I'll keep it on Discord going forward.
