How does your game represent "Slick"?
We took the meaning of slick to mean both a smooth and slippery as well as doing something skillfully. The first thing that came to mind was curling. It happens on ice which is very slippery, and it’s damn cool to land a stone in the bullseye when you have no idea how hard you need to throw. We also put just the bare minimum amount of wizards (five) to call it a wizard game, also very slick if you ask me.

In about 30 games I managed to score precisely one time.

This is so fun I am coming back to it later. I genuinely had a blast and loved the synergies of the items. Difficult but very rewarding. I really want to get good at this one. Lowkey addicted.

Great Game! As someone who has played curling in real life it was great to play! My lack of skills in real life curling seems to have transferred over to!

Very nice! When I first started working on this game jam, a similar idea occurred to me, but it eventually turned into a puzzle game

Went past the 64-bit integer limit with the bumper, and with blank cheque I am now the richest man in history. Absolute cinema.

I'm usually not into this type of game, but the upgrades and stones add a lot to it. Unfortunately, i am still terrible at it! Not knowing where the stones were to plan ahead for them was a bit annoying. Also, i encountered a bug where if i restarted the game from a game over screen, i would restart with my upgrades, and the next time i would normally hit a game over screen, it would just freeze on me, meaning i had to refresh the page each time i wanted to actually restart. I think this game could maybe use some some polish, like a minimap and some bug tweaks, but the concept is solid! Also, while it may defeat the purpose, i had assumed that, as a wizard, i would get things like, spells that could cause the puck to stop, or move it slightly to the left, which would be very satisfying. the upgrade concept is nice too though!

We atually started out with the same curling idea! But we changed to something else, so it's cool to see someone else do it instead :D

I'm a bit disappointed that you can't curl the stone. But I like the shop idea!

Me: COME ON STOP SLIDING UR RIGHT IN THE CIRCLES

The 17 quirky saxophones in the background: "toot-tee-tee-toot-tee-tee-toot tototototototo-"


Also

  • + art is so cute (esp Ghost Stones ghost (GSG))
  • + wizards
  • - it would be nice if there was a delay between final score and transition to shop, so I can figure out what the heck I did to win
  • Broom underpowered plz buff?
  • ? the game informed me that I won because I'm good at curling but it didn't realize that actually I'm good at making the pucks hit each other and then the wall to get 10x the score requirement while absolutely ignoring the target XD

Overall this was super cute and I'm glad I get to be one of the first to play it.!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I definitely agree on the game flow between score and shop.

I'm glad you beat the levels! I'm so bad at our own game that I get stuck at level 3 xD
