the enemy and player health is displayed with the little bars that wrap on the outside of the wheel next to the money! The white / left side is yours and the color / right side is the opponents. :)
Thanks so much for giving it a play! :D

I love the itch page. Very well done on that front!
I also appreicate the windows download, as the HTML would simply not load for me.
WOW! What an incredible game! I had so much fun! I love the spin theme for the gun reloading, although it took me a minute to actually realize I need to keep pressing the right key to make the spin damage mult increase. Maybe for the first tutorial there could be some kind of UI popup with the right mouse button that guides me to click it again?
I thought the bosses were neat! The meat man was pretty tough to beat, mostly due to his strike range, so maybe that could be dialed back just a tad, but overall everything felt pretty balanced and unique! The level design complimented the gameplay well (was running backwards a lot so the circular level design was great!)
The game felt a bit quiet to me, and couldve maybe used more variety with the sounds, but its not like a game like this needs too much more than what it has anyway.
Never been a huge fan of the 'vertex wobble' (just because some people go way overboard with it) but this was done well and hardly noticable. I would have liked an option to maybe turn of the 'walk bobble' though, but i'm really just nitpicking small things here.
I really really enjoyed this game and will definitely be coming back to it after I have gone through some more games to try and get on the leader board!
Not much to critique with this one, really exceptional job! Clean, well put together, and most importantly fun!!
I love the music! The boss design is really neat! I like that the wheel gives you different options to attack the hands with! The perspecitve is a bit difficult to tell exactly where I am in relation to the hands at certain moments, but it feels like the hitbox is fairly forgiving which is nice! Definately has a great 'cuphead' vibe going for it!
I will say a downloadable version would be nice, as Godots Html can be a bit finikey sometimes (the game froze on me a few times)
Overall fantastic work! It has a nice theme to it, the art, music and sounds all fit with a coherent vibe, and it was a really fun experience! A really solid game jam entry!! :)

First impression:
The graphics seem a little inconsistent, though I love the artwork! Between the title being vector art, menu background being 'water color' style and menu buttons being pixel art, I would say picking one for the overall art direction would be best. I love the water color style, and I could see some really awesome spine animations in that style really nailing the 'casino' / 'motel art' vibe. haha. Just a nitpick, but something worth investing in if you want to expand the game maybe. :)
I love the music and sounds, but same kind of critique. Between the soft 'speakeasy' piano and 8 bit button hovers, I would say picking a style and sticking with it would feel more cohesive. I like high-definition sound effects personally, and the piano music so I think adding things like 'glass klinks', 'suitcase drops', and 'page flips' would really match the vibe for different UI sounds. :)
I gotta say, though, the music is incredible for this one! I am in love with it!
I love the intital vibe of the game! I am a sucker for HD lighting on pixel art. haha. Feels 'home-y' and has a cozy feel to it from the rip! The shop is nicely done as well! Very fluid. I think some kind of 'negative feedback' would help, as I kept thinking I was buying items even though I didn't have any money. haha. I also think having the descriptions for each power up reguardless of if I am hovering would be nice, That way I could quickly scan between the items and compare effects instead of needing to hover over them each time.
The mechanics are very solid and consistent. Shot, Dash, Kill or be killed. I really enjoy the simplicity of the design, and a lot of the powerups seem well balanced. I like that you equip them to a roulette wheel. I think a couple of the items could be a bit cheaper, such as "Bet the farm" being 20 coins, but has a pretty bad negative side effect for that price (bosses have much more health than the player, and as such Health is a more vital asset). "Doubling down" is by far the better option as you only lose 1 HP but get a 4X. It can be a bit offset by "Against all odds" but when my HP is low, Id rather have more healing effects like "Ace up your sleeve" than damage effects.
Maybe reducing the price of that item would make it more worth the risk, but otherwise I didn't use it. Same thing with "Double or nothing" being a chance item (I had some simliar issues with some items in my game as well), Why pay so much for the possible downside? I think lowering those two in cost would make them more valuable in the short game, as long term they feel more like a net negative and thus I wouldn't ever use them. (but again, this is just my opinion so take it with a grain of salt. haha)
Overall, a really fun entry! I wish it was longer!! Would love more items and bosses! Definately would like to see it expanded! Great work!
I played the musical menu buttons for far longer than I should have. A few more options and I could play the jeopardy theme I think! Its very close. lol.
The premise is pretty simple and easy to understand. I don't think the parry mechanic was completely nessesary. I really didn't use it much as it seemed more of a detriment than a benefit. I think the '6 leaf' challenge was harder than some of the bosses. haha.
I really enjoyed frido and found him to be the most interesting and engaging boss fight with a solid balance! Graphics are really nice, albeit inconsistent in a few places (I think a a more fitting 'font' would have looked nicer with everything). I really liked the title font, so maybe something similar to that could be incorporated into the UI font. :)
Overall a solid entry, with a great take on the theme!! :D Fantastic work! :)
Simple menu, mysterious music, and glowing text. I like! I think the neon effect could use some gaussian blur instead of bi-directional box blurring as the corners are missing some of the blur (maybe 2 pass directional blurs on them?) Minor thing, but just something of note. TBH it looks great without it personally, but thats just me. :)
Menu buttons could use some audio feedback on hover as well. Love that I can customize the heart icon! haha. Aim assist is a good touch too
I Beat the tutorial! Love the punching bag as the tutorial boss. Winning could have a bit more 'flare' to it like some animations or something, but its not a super important thing. Also the music just dies off? Maybe (if you like the silence aspect) you could layer some environment ambience under the music? But again, not something super important. haha.
I Love the gachapon machines / 'gumball machine' effect for picking the bosses and the dramatic music that starts with the boss fight. Fantastic stuff! The UI is simple and effective. A bit difficult to check on your health / boss HP since looking away from your player could spell disaster, so it may be nice to have the Health UI somewhere around the player / boss somehow? Just so that players don't have to divert their eyes from the task at hand to check on the status of their progress, but that could just be me. haha.
The game is quite challenging, but it never feels like the game is to blame, which is always a plus!
It is very clean. I think the fish and the hat were the hardest for me to beat overall. haha. The only major thing in terms of maybe helping players a bit with the bosses, would be to wait for them to trigger *back* to red only once the player has / is landed on a platform. I noticed a couple of times right after I would click to strike the boss It would change on me, so yeah, maybe delaying that until the player has hit the platform may be nice. :)
Overall, a fantastic entry! I had a blast and the vibe is incredible! It has a cohesive identity, great minimalist art style, and tons of variety! Great work!!
Sounds fun! Got everyone's games here on a list I will start working through this week! :)
If anyone is interested in checking mine out I would love the feedback!

The game features:

- "Double or nothing" rounds
- 31 unique items
