  • I liked the idea of helping adventurers survive by managing vending machines on a "Slay the Spire"-style map, and the old west mixed with fantasy vibe gives it a lot of personality. The art and narrative setup are strong, and it feels like there is a bigger game hiding underneath. It could use more feedback about the adventurers and outcomes, but for a jam entry this is a creative and charming idea with lots of potential.

This is a really interesting concept, i would love to see an expanded version of this, it seems like you had a lot of cool and interesting things planned, i also like the narrative it seems like a really intriguing story.

the map makes me think of slay the spyre but the progression is more rpg like. I like the old west like aesthetics btw

I did not understand very well but I know it was a development time issue as described, a lot of us ran out of time xd

Interesting idea. It's like I'm trying to help adventurers survive on a Slay the Spire type map. Will be even better once you can actually buy more vending tokens, maybe power up your vending machines. And see the adventurers gear/health to get a better idea of why certain ones succeed while others don't.

Thanks for the feedback! I ran out of time to put in additional loops and to expose more information to the player. There's 4 different classes with different randomised combat stats and starting levels. I'd like to have a preview of which adventurers will be going in tomorrow as well as an after-action report at the end of the day. Then you can try to tailor what you put into the vending machines.

So much more work ahead of me! ':D
