very cool concept with the cubes shifting! I did like there was a large variety of characters to play as well! Pirate was my favorite

How does the game fit the theme?
It's an arena set inside a shuffing rubik's cube. Each face of the cube represent a "normal" place, but as the cube shuffles and different themes meet, strange arenas are formed.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
Most of the code was made by me, with help from gemini in debugging and clearing some concepts eventually.
For art assets, I made the main character and the enemy sprites using Kenney's creature mixer, available at: https://kenney.itch.io/creature-mixer
All other art assets are sourced from different places. No generative AI was used to generate any asset. Here are the links to where I got everything:
Lunar Lance and Katana sprites - https://craftpix.net/freebies/free-melee-weapon-pixel-icons-for-cyberpunk
Revolver, tesla generator and ranged enemy weapon sprites, plus general SFX - https://kenney.nl/assets/desert-shooter-pack

Thank you for the feedback! I agree with you. I believe I've worked on it for so much time that i "got used" to the cursor and coming back to it a few days after, it really feels hard to see. (The tesla projectiles are kinda hard for me to see now as well haha). I'll polish this for a later version, just won't publish the changes for the gamejam (Not a gamebreaking bug, I don't think it's fair to "improve" the game now)

Thank you for pointing it out! I made the basic mistake of just checking the windows version before going to sleep because I was really tired. Just fixed it, in case you want to give it another try :) The web version is not giving me sound, though, which I'm looking into right now, but all the waves can be cleared!
