Great game ! I like the artstyle :)
Thank you for feedback.
Was a bit unsure of what was going on at first, but picked up on it pretty quick. The art and style was pretty cool, and the gameplay loop was pretty fun. I like how quickly you can get through menus and stuff, there's no waiting around once you've figured out what you want to do. I did notice that after about level 27 I was only getting monsters and not getting any weapons for free and it got pretty tough. Also wasn't sure about what my remaining health was, which would be nice to know. Other than that, great job!
I loved the funky artstyle and the way the whole world ties together. Seriously, great work! Really polished and a lot of content!
Thank you for feedback and I'll try your game too!
Love the art and general vibe.
Thank you for feedback.
It was a bit hard to get through and took me a bit to grasp what I could do but the concept is interesting. As other mentioned, the art is really nice.
Congrats on finishing the jam!
Thank you for feedback and you too!
Woah the art is AMAZING! Gameplay feels a bit repetitive though, and music stopped looping for some reason. Whatsoever, still an amazing game, keep up the great work!
Thank you for feedback.
The art is amazing for this game! I do think you only scratched the surface of the actual game mechanics because I think you could really lean more into the push-your-luck kind of mechanic. I saw other comments point out as well that the monsters currently all act the same, so could be interesting if they did different things, like randomly eating up an item instead of losing health, or taking half your money you are carrying.
But anyways, congrats on the good game submission! :)
Thank you for feedback and yes! as you said about monsters, I have plan to have mechanic like that on monsters' behavior at first but due to time period so it needs to reduce some features to be able for submit on time. T o T
The artist deserves a pay rise. Good game! But, the transitions are a bit slow, and gameplay seems to be: move forward, pick up shiny stuff, fight when you can, and die when you can’t. I don’t feel a strategic approach at all, I just survive when I can. Perhaps if there were more options to do, then this game would be one of the best, but that’s where it lacks.
Thank you for valuable feedback, after the jam end, we will try to make an update version that will be better one as you comment to be reference.
Some great arwork and an interesting idea!
Thank you for feedback.
i think the idea can be expanded in the future to have a little more variety (since every monster essentially acts the same), but for a game jam submission, not bad
Thank you for feedback, your right about actually the idea we're plan more than this in jam version and actually it will have monster behavior system as well but due to time limit, so we're have to present in this way first.
The artwork in this game is great! I really loved all the different fonts used!
Thank you for feedback and I like your artwork too.
First of all, the art was gorgeus, both character and monster wise.
I liked the general gameplay loop, and i feel like it definitely can be expanded upon later on to add more variety
it was definitely kind of tough to get trough though, and i had some minor visual bugs after a reset that showed me my last runs backpack size and hp, but it fixed itself after i got hit and bought a new backpack
overall a fun experience
Thank you for the feedback and you're the first one to get a screenshot after the end of the game, so I hope you see a good ending screenshot too haha.
I like the art a lot! Nicely done!
Thank you for feedback and I like your artwork too.
cool game
Thank you for feedback, but your game if have some screenshot it divinely better for let jammer to consider vote your game.
I really liked the cartoon-style art!
Thank you for feedback and I really like your artwork too!
Very funny, the art is super cool
Thank you for feedback and your game too!
So beautiful, so well made, design are just perfect. On my first run i didn't go well, but on my second got so lucky - closed the debt in two days.
I wanna feedback you two bugs though: if you buy a backpack and then die and then restart - it will not appear in shop menu, total game restart required. And also it it's written that weapons cost 200, but they actually cost 100. And i would let it slide but they cost 200 when sold. You know what that mean
The art, audio and general polish are extremely impressive - love the walking-into-the-cave animation! The gameplay meta is quite easy to crack, making it simple to finish in just a few days, but I can see a lot of potential for expanding on this, I really like it. Very impressive work, well done!!!
Really like the art of the game :D
The game can be a bit repetitive later on, and can also heavily depend on RNG
But it had potential, with more polishing in the future
damn this game is pretty aweseome I like it alot thanks for rating my game
Thank you for feedback as well!
