Great well polished game, this feels like a completed piece which is so cool in a game jam, gameplay is awesome and so addictive but for sure lacking in the wintery vibez :( Super cool game! 10/10
Awesome game, I loved the loop, felt like I was a coach training a boxer! I loved the palette choices (although I am biased as my game also has palette swapping), Ocean Sunset is the best palette and I'll fight anyone who says otherwise! The music track is good too, is it original? However, after about 20 minutes the track started to distort and glitch, at first I thought it was intentional but it kept distorting more. That all being said, I didn't think there was much tying the game to the theme of winter beyond a snow effect. Besides that, a definite favourite for me in this jam!
Thanks, glad you liked it! It's 50/50 between Ocean Sunset & Lunar New Year for me :)
I think there may have been a memory leak, every time a tween was created I think it wasn't destroyed (and every loop creates about ~20 tweens), so that's why the application starts running out of memory and music is the obvious thing that will get hit.
Gotta say a lot of people on this jam got too distracted on the "one bit" theme, and didn't plan/implement a more wintery theme. I'm part of that group unforuntately!
The music is original, but heavily inspired by "Hero Appears" from Ping Pong the animation, glad you enjoyed it it :D
this was by far the game i most played, cool and unique gameplay i made my character imortal and the game continued for a hour. very cool :)
Really fun game, looks like we both went for games with perks!
One thing nobody adressed in here though... The game is super fun, I'll give you that, but..
What about the restrictions of the jam? I can't really give you points for theme just because you put a snow effect in your game when it's the only winter thing... And it's not really 2 bit either, there are so many different skins and colors in the game, you could say that there's only 2 used with each skin but that's also incorrect as the skin isn't applied on the tooltip when hovering over items (it's still black and white).
Very fun concept though! Seems quite similar to mine :)
Fun loop hero type game. I played way longer than I expected to haha.
It took me a while to understand how the game works, it is a bit disorienting at first, when you understand the mechanism instead it becomes very fun. One of my favorites of this jam!
WOW
I LOVE IT. I might have broken it. Im in day 99 and everything dies one hit, I overscaled the enemies hahahaha. The game is soooo goood. I have 10 min for each game but here Ive been playing for more than double that.
GJ!

My god man, in all my time of play testing I did not once have the patience to get past day 20, what the hell is the player doing out of the arena ;D
I suppose I didn't balance scholars sword very well, every day the enemies get around 6 max health, but there is 7-10 enemies per day, and therefore you will always outscale the enemy health with your damage... Thanks for finding this, and glad you enjoyed :)
