How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
You play as a black cat. You find yourself locked inside a cave. Time is as important as your life. The wheel of luck (or misfortune) appears regularly... Will you find the exit?

Nice start and game idea, and the theme is captured really well.
Neat prototype! I like the fat cat turrets. Congratulations on the submission!
This was fun! I liked the fact that you could get good at landing on what you wanted. The maze itself was maybe too long? Thanks for the game!
The wheel-spin popups are kinda disorienting imo. I couldn't quite tell what triggered them (or there was even a player-visible cue).
Though I kept making the enemies bigger as I went, which was amusing.
I think I found a bug where I can move while the wheels are spinning X"D
probably I could complete the game while the wheels are spinning XD
tho I can't remember the whole layout of the map
I missed the restart when dead, I didn’t know the what the F is doing, but I liked it.
Hello everyone, thanks for your feedback. It's true that I should have given a minimum of information on the wheel!
The F+/- increases or decreases the shooting distance.
The S+/- increases or decreases the movement speed.
The T+/- adds or subtracts time.
The arrows reverse the controls.
Great concept! I got confused by what everything on the wheel did and missed some feedback on enemies, damage and such, but think this concept can go pretty far!
The wheel was a really great way to interpret the secondary theme! I don't think I understood everything on it but I had some fun regardless
The concept of the roulette seems incredible! It even makes me want to create a game like that.
Conceptually this is a very fun idea. I wasn't quite able to escape the maze, but I did give it a few good attempts. As a proof of concept, I think that it generally does the job. Though I'd say there are three big weaknesses:
Overall, I had some fun with it, I think for what it is it's decently enjoyable.
So, Im gonna be honest, i have NO idea what the spinning wheel does. the +t adds time i think, but no idea about the rest. I didn't seem to be able to kill the spinning (frogs?). Lastly, there needs to be a way to restart after you lose. Having to refresh the page to retry was a bit awkward
I think the Idea had a good start (a Maze that has luck mechanics built it), but it needs to be fleshed out a bit more
