I really love that the rng in this one doesnt feel unfair, we saw many use random dmg or character stats. Making the waves random and making it known to the player feels soooo great.
Art is great, reminds me of Downwell :)
Thank you! The art style of the game and downwell has been mentioned quite alot by my friends, i mean ill take it its a pretty game
I don't even know what to say, amazing visual style, fun and addictive gameplay, gets quite challenging when you play for a bit. Loving it!
Thank you! Alot more is planned for even more chaos, so stay tuned!
Great style, smooth and cohesive, crazy hard in a fun way and always delivers a different experience (but doesn't ever feel "unlucky", at least to me). Amazing polish too - Seriously great game for only 48 hours!
If you continue with it, I wonder if there could be some reference to what has been rolled previously. I found myself forgetting eg how many times the horse would go back and forth so I ended up just reacting instead of planning my tactics after noting what rolls I got
I am planning on showing whats active in the game in a pause screen next to a little icon. When you hover over it, it tells you how intense it is. The updates will be made to make the game better, so stay tuned! Thank you for playing!
The game is fun and it looks and feels good. It does get ridiculously hard if unlucky with those rolls.
I adore this game. It’s so simple but damn addicting. While many of these jump-and-run-survival-games are very reactive and only challenge your speed (which doesn’t have to be a bad thing), this one gives you all the information you need. Also the challenges go well with each other so it never feels unfair even if you get bad rolls.
Sounddesign and visuals SLAP. It’s great. I was happy the moment I saw the title screen and heard the music.
One problem I have though: The main mechanic of the text preempting the stuff that’s going to happen is not readable if you’re further into the game and stuff is flying your way. I don’t know if you could phrase it better for new players, but one obvious change would be highlighting the changable factors (like: “ *2* Daggers are going to stab ye’ to death now”). A little colorchange or something will make it easer to understand it when you’re running and jumping for your life.
Still, I love it. It’s a perfect gamejam game. Well flippin’ done!
Another very big review, im intriqued! Thank you for all the kind words!
The text will already recieve some change when the first polished update releases. The text especially recieved alot of complaints as being unreadable, and having a small particle effect behind the number that the player just got was planned, but scrapped due to time constraints forcing me to scrap all particles in the first place. Updates under way! Hope you like them just as much as this version!
Really fun to play, feels like a Warioware game :)
The goal was to make it something that you grab and play for a little while, and then play it again later on. I like making my games have good replay value (thats why so many are not released in the first place). Glad you enjoyed it!
Really fun game, though super hard - I only managed to last a minute. Love the aesthetic and the idea is super neat! Good job :)
That will surely be improved as more events are added. Stay tuned for updates, alot more is under way!
This game is incredibly polished. Its fast, fun and looks like a professional game. Very nice!!
Thank you! Honestly i really dont like giving out something thats unpolished, its the little things that count
Favorite game I played so far! Looks great, sounds great, unique gimmick that creates a custom bullet hell every time. Rated 5/5/5 , amazing job!
Oh thank you! Im extremely flattered by that!
very enjoyable game!
definitely one of the games that didn't neglect sound effects.
nice, juicy gameplay
Thank you! Sound effects were something i definitely wanted to put in, it really adds alot of pow to games and its really worth adding it to your games
Very fun, and very chaotic. I enjoyed it.
Its only downhill of chaos from here :)
I love how it feels like you're building your own unique bullet hell. All the events are very creative and seem well balanced. Also the player sprite was adorable. Really good work!
Thank you! I will be sure to update it so stay tuned if you want to see the changes after the jam period! Thanks a bunch for playing!
The game is really nice, it become chaotic really fast which is perfect. The artstyle fit really well for a small survival game, I also really like the sfx for the dice. I do feel like some event aren't balance around a d6 and should be decide on a d4 or a d8 for example.
Hehe, if you read the games page, youll see that d4s and d8s are in the todo list! I actually wanted to add a D4 for this version but there wasnt enough time to add it in. Thanks for playing!
Sorry I forgot there is a game page sometimes, I just went in it directly and forgot to read it. Have fun updating the game.
I love these kind of survival mini games, very addicting, most I got is 1:30, the fish is the hardest to dodge. Great game!!
Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed it
A very fun and nicely done game. Looks visually great and I enjoyed myself playing it :)
Great job!
Looks like i managed to achieve what i wanted!
The polish in terms of SFX and music is great! I do think there could have been a clearer-to-read font, however... Great game!
I never thought the font would be an issue but it seems that it is something people noticed as one. Thank you for playing, ill touch on it!
incredibly fun game, music and sounds are great too. awesome job
Thank you! Good luck for you as well
I played your game on Linux using Wine, which is a non-native experience that might have issues through no fault of your own.
Enjoyment
Initially I had a hard time reading the font, especially as the lines would move following the roll, and it wasn't clear to me what quantity was being affected by the dice since I hadn't quite figured out what was going on, and a bunch of stuff flying at me made it hard to read. Eventually, of course, I did figure it out, and it was much more enjoyable.
Creativity
I thought the variety of the obstacles was really fun and well in-line with the idea of randomness brought on by the theme. The obstacles felt random, as in, there's wide variety between a nuke and a fish.
Presentation
Absolutely charming! The art, music, and sound effects give a cohesive vibe, and I just fell in love with the art especially. Then it was made so much cooler with the color changes. Phenomenal!
This is the most explained review i have ever read, im really glad you enjoyed it!
Sick
Thankies!
Nice game with a simple idea, it can get too hard very quickly though
Thanks Garg!
