Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
Yes

Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
Yes

Summarise your game!
You are Stickolas, a stick that a wizard is sending into people's homes to break their stuff and steal their munny. Fling yourself around and bounce off walls to destroy items and get munny. Spend that munny with the wizard to upgrade your destructive power. How will it all end. Jail? Freedom? Love!?!?

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
You play as an animated stick being used by a dubious wizard as a weapon of grand larceny

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
The general game feel and satisfaction. Shop prices and munny earned are not fully balanced

I really like the concept, the only thing I really want to comment on is the "mana as time" thing. It feels off gameplay wise but works. The art and music are great, loved it. Sound effects fit in very well. The gameplay was fun though. I love destruction games.

Thanky for playing and for the feedback! :3

Had a smashing good time flinging myself around the place! I took to upgrading my mana and smash power quickly, followed by increasing my money gain and speed.

Some issues or things i noted were:

  • couldnt skip the tutorial dialogue when trying to change my audio settings
  • seemed counter-intuitive to pull towards where i wanted to go, i am used to pulling back in the opposite direction
  • camera made it hard to see where off-screen i would be flinging to. couldn't tell where doors/walls were in some levels
  • some levels were a little "busy" and it was difficult to quickly see where my stick began.
  • some spelling mistakes i noticed:

SERIOUSLY FUN GAME THOUGH <3 i think the concept is really unique and funny, and i need to replay it and see if i can get faster 👀
