Wow, This is def one of my favorites! LOVE the art, and had a lot of fun with the risk vs reward of rolling stats, especially when it came to health. The win animation and sound is awesome. I felt that the game was perfect length as well!

Submitted

Nice game! I enjoyed how you implemented the slot machine mechanic, it made trying to roll for better stats really fun with dragging coins. I also thought that the difficulty scale was nice and there was a good variety of unique enemies! Also, you guys had great art and sound too, very nice to look at with cool animations!

Submitted

Really fun and love the artstyle. Great Game!

Submitted

The character controls a little bit too slowly for my liking. I also would have liked more health (but maybe I'm just bad lol)

Great job on the art. It's a unique style but I really like it.

I wish I could have got further, but it was just slightly too hard for me.

Nice game overall!

Did you understand that you need to drag a coin to one of the slot machines to re-roll your stats? That way you can get both more health, bigger attack and move faster :) Our "how to play" button in the menu tried describing this but maybe it wasn't clear.

Ah I was confused about the coins, thanks for clearing that up. I'll give it another go :)

No worries, good tutorials are always hard to make in such a short period of time, now we know that we should spend more time on one for the next game jam  :)

Okay I managed to get further this time.

I still failed quite a few runs on the first and second levels with only 1 health but once you pick up momentum it becomes a lot easier.

I didn't manage to beat it though. The last stage got really laggy and the game crashed when I died. This is just game jam stuff and I don't blame you for it.

Much better now I know how to play :)

Thanks for giving it another try :) Weird that it lagged out though...

Submitted

Controls are little difficult to get down but after a bit the game gets pretty fun. Nice stuff! :)

Submitted

Starts out very tricky but very cool when you begin figuring it out. The art is great. Nice work.

Favorite action game concept from the jam I've played so far!
Ticking all stats down on hit is brilliant, made me really start thinking hard about when and how to use my coins.
Loved the art and tone.
Would love to see fleshed out version of this.

Glad you liked that detail, we realized halfway through the jam that there was really no incentive to reroll those stats once you hit a 6 or a 7 on them so that's when we decided to decrease all stats on hit, for some extra pressure ;)

Submitted

Pretty difficult at first. Nice artstyle and very creative concept! :)

The experience was great and the art awesome of course, could already tell by the thumbnail. Truly fits the theme and is worth being proud of. Good job!

Submitted(+1)

This game concept is really special, love the art!

Submitted

Awesome art and animation.  Character controls feels slow. Overall, great game.

Developer (1 edit)

Your speed attribute starts out at one, you need to reroll it with a coin to get faster.

Passed all levels. Addictive gameplay!

Great concept with a superb aesthetic! Really enjoyed this submission!

Really good game! Loved the art and I think the gambling to get better stats thing was fun :) Could have been a bit more challenging in the end though!

Very fun to play. Didn't get the coin idea at first, maybe some tutorial for the future will help to new players :)

This was so much fun. Plus it looked and sounded great.

Developer

Our sound and art guys will be very happy to hear that, thanks!

That was awesome, I didn't get it at first but that was a unique way of doing stats/luck/resource managemen. Super fun, I beat the game

Developer

Thanks, and good job haha
