Getting the boulders to actually become bigger was very finicky, but once it started working for me I enjoyed the game loop! Simple and fun.
Very creative game! i liked the boulders, and being a wizard is AWESOME, only thing was that its a bit difficult that you need to stand still to transform the boulders, maybe less monsters at first.
still, very Good job!
if you wana try out my brother's game its here https://aviv-youker-harel.itch.io/scales-of-olympus
Thank you, i agree that being a wizard is very awesome. You don't have to stand still to transform the boulders, but maybe there was a glitch while you were playing. The many monsters at the start is a bug which i unfortunately only found out after the jam ended. I'm happy you like the game, and I will definitely check out your brothers game!
cOOl! I do think though making the chance of a rock falling around you should be higher so you don't get cornered too easely. Good job for your first gamejam!
Cool art style!
I don't know why, but I thought in the beginning that the player is also not allowed to touch the rocks, which made the game even more stressful (I think this would be a cool addition to the game, but only if you are then also able to kind of move/throw the rocks). However the game is really cool and I like the take on the theme. It is especially satisfying if three enemies are crushed at once. Cool game, keep going!
Thank you!
I really like the idea, but the game itself was quite challenging. I had many approaches and at the beginning I couldn't score more than 50 points (which I know is not much), I felt like the boulders and monsters where coming too fast or maybe am just not very good at it :) Later I scored 119, but only due to the fact that one of the monsters decided to ignore me and passed right trough me :D
Due to the fact that the boulders fell randomly I also had a situation where the monsters were close and nothing could be done about it.
Nonetheless, I had a good time and I really like the cute graphics :)
Thanks for the feedback! This was my first game jam and I've not got a lot of experience, so the game is quite buggy. I also found the balancing to be difficult, so your feeling that the boulders and monsters were too fast is probably correct. Anyways, glad you enjoyed it!
