How does your game relate to the theme?
I wanted to do something with more than just too topics for poles, so I went with Rock Paper Scissors. The game is about matching your attacks (also being rock, paper, or scissor attacks) to the different types of enemies. Enemies beat your attack (ie Rock beats scissors) will be completely immune to the attack, and the same type attack will be much weaker than usual. I know "poles" usually refers to 2 things, but I believe keeps the theme and gives it a good twist that people won't normally expect :D

I literally came up with an idea for a game just like this last week!!! I love the fighting mechanics and you executed it very well. The controls are a bit weird; having to switch using Q and E was a bit unconventional. Despite that, this is still a great game. Nice work!!

I got super strong!!

i LOVE that your theme is not magnets or poles or something like that and the gameplay was really fun i played stage 23. after awhile it does become a bit stale but it think thats mainly because its a 72 hour jam But for the time you had this is really great and polished game. I do wish i was a bit faster but thats just a personal thing. Good Job !!

Really like the take on the theme! I wish the enemies had a bit more variety besides bigger health variants, and maybe something to play around with weapon switching. An example could be an enemy that switches between various types? But the overall vampire survivors formula is always fun and satisfying to play!

I'm a fan of porting and improving the tabletop mechanics and bringing it into the game.The graphics are good, the gameplay is dynamic, the mechanics are excellent, and the balance is restrained.In short, in my opinion, the game is 10/10<3

Awesome idea!

I was surprised to see cool-looking credits and menus with animations, so I expected the game to be well-polished. However, the game significantly lacks polish in more important areas.

When it comes to polishing — think about what parts of the game really need polishing. In this case, it's the main mechanics: movement, shooting, choosing your weapon, and balancing. All feel unpolished.

If you take the bullet upgrade, you don't need to switch your weapon. I've beat about six waves like this until it became too boring and repetitive. Probably not a good idea to make an upgrade that makes the main mechanic of the game unnecessary.

It would be nice to have a goal in the game, something for the player to look forward to, like an ending. It's easy for game jam games to overstay its welcome.

Thank you for playing my game!

Thank you for the feedback as well :D I've noticed some of these things after submitting the game but obviously there's no way to change them now, but I'll keep them in mind for future jams!

Of course, game jams are all about learning. It's good to make mistakes so you can learn from them! Good luck with your future games

Awesome! But I’d really love to see more variety among the enemies! I really enjoyed the power-ups you get for leveling up. It’s a shame that the attacks feel quite similar. I think it would be worth considering adding more diversity in the "weapons" and enemies! Nonetheless, I really liked it! :D

Thank you for playing! There are some different enemies once you get to wave 10, but they are just reskins and more actual variety would've helped :D
