Cool game (art, game mechanics... everything), few things I didn't like:
- No after death pause (kinda annoying for me)
- Auto attack (combo) after picking upgrade
- No sounds
Other than that I think it's quite impressive and fun to play, good job.

I like the upgrade system, good mechanics. Some random music would have been fine as well.

DodgonixVery fun, very challenging. I think there's some glaring flaws in the stats system, which you pointed out a little bit in your description. For instance, if I always take lightning, the opponent will never crit me so it doesn't matter how many arcanas I give him, if he had even a 2% chance of criting I would be horrified at the 200 crit damage I gave him, lol. The fire burn damage is a little strong and the stats should probably have diminishing returns. Really fun idea and I love the concept. It would be interesting to see this turned into a full game! I got to round 14.

Ghost WriterYeah I agree with all the points mentioned. I was kinda rushed but I wanted to make it like a set-bonus (2/5/10/etc) as well as adding a block/special attack to right mouse button. I got a good idea to improve this game. Instead of making each fight against the player you have it as a dungeon crawler style with more upgrade choices and many possible combinations (like Hades). And then every x rooms you fight the main "enemy" that was doing the same thing as you in a parallel dungeon. The winner get's to pick the item and the loser gets the other one...maybe even a choice to swap items you don't want or to steal from opponent. I would definitely have to rewrite the Ai (if you can even call it that lol) but seems like a direction I could go.
i honestly liked it, wish i could have used the dodge more or that i could my block/change attacks but other than that i liked the idea of both player and enemy getting buffed at the same time.

The Witches BoxThanks for the feedback! I originally had the dodge on a 1 second cooldown but bumped it up to 2 seconds after it became too easy. Most of the problems I've ran into (other than balancing) are solely due to the horrible and buggy AI that I threw together at 4am lol. It works by running up to you and attacking with a 2 second delay inbetween. Every 3 or 4 seconds it checks if it was hit recently then dodges. This loop allows for an experienced player to just spam a 1 second dodge a specific, but versatile, interval to remain invincible. I also thought of making the right mouse button a block or special attack but I ran out of time.
I'm glad though lol. It was way easy for me and if I'd get a lucky roll (specifically a few fire then full lightning) I'd just one shot my way to infinity. To combat this I lowered damage and increased armor effectiveness. You might not have noticed but after round 15 the enemy attack starts to increase by 2 each round to prevent lucky rolls giving an infinite score.
Hope you liked it.
