Ranked from 240 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does the game fit the theme?
The core gameplay loop relies on progressing through each level by choosing a new upgrade, but you're also forced to take a debuff. This fits the theme as you have to weigh your risk/reward balance to get as far as you can and manage the chaos of your own choices.

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
The map tileset, the player character sprite, the enemy sprites, the UI icons, and a handful of sfx come from free to use packs and sources such as Kenney assets. A full list of credits is on the game's page.

Everything else - the code, music, and sound effects - are all made from scratch.

The gameplay is really fun and engaging, though more enemies and upgrades would've made more fun. But for a jam a really cool game.

Strangely enough, it’s super engaging and polished :)

It looks like Brotato but with Gandalf. Nice!

Developer

Brotato is such a flattering comparison, thank you!

Ohhh very cool! the polish is good and you have a prettty fun gameloop already! its simple but fun!, but i wish you added more unique upgrades and enemies, but anyways for a jam this is really good!

Developer

Your kind words mean a lot <3 I definitely limited my scope for the jam, I’d have loved to make at least 10 more risks and rewards each. Maybe I’ll polish it more after the jam :)

clean visuals and lovely sounds! 
Well done 🔥

We would love you to try our game, and we would appreciate your ratings 🙌

Fun game, the character movement feel right and the gamefeel is nice thanks to the screenshakes. I'd love to have more things to chose from!

Yeah this game is really good, basic theme tho but done really well, I played it for 30 plus minutes when the loop became boring, but jams are for learning right but all in all a really good game done in 7 days!

Developer

Thanks for playing! 30 minutes is way more than I was expecting, so I’m happy to hear that <3 I kept the scope small for the jam, but I’d love to add more variety moving forward to keep it fresh and interesting.

I tried to get the largest projectiles possible

Love this game. Really makes you think about  your choices. Would be great to see it fleshed out with more levels and more enemies.

Submitted(+1)

That was quite fun!

Hey, great entry! I really like the clean visuals. The idea is fun, I did end up choosing some values I regretted though. I wish there was some sort of a mechanism for me to "exchange" my power-ups. Also I wish you added an option to toggle auto-aiming, very common in games like these (eg. Brotato, Vampire Survivors)

Really great game with a strong base that could be expanded upon easily. Well done.

Submitted(+1)

Great game! Really fun, too. Like others have said, more options would make the game even better, but it’s already a very solid and polished experience as it is. Congrats!

Submitted(+1)

The core idea is really good, and I think this has a lot of potential! I think that some more variety between rounds would help. Also, great sound!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! I kept the scope minimal out of an abundance of caution, but a higher variety of risk/rewards and enemy types is definitely what I’d expand on if I continued work on this.

And yes, our audio designer is amazing! :)

Nice, enjoyed this! Sounds are really satisfying

Submitted(+2)

What a game! that nice little "umph" or juice everything has makes it feel so satisfying to play

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I really enjoyed working on the game feel but kudos has to go to our audio designer, the little sounds everywhere really helped tie it together.

Submitted(+1)

The concept is there and the theme is fitting. It gets a bit repetitive a few rounds later but all you need is some more enemies and attack patterns to make it feel fresh.

Submitted(+1)

Super cute artwork!

Really liked the gameplay and mechanics (:

Submitted

Cool risk/reward mechanic 🔥. Having to pick both upgrade and debuff really fits the theme well, and the chaos of choices kept me engaged. Would love to see even crazier combos in future updates!
