I really love the artstyle and the graphics! The music is really catchy and good! The sound effects of hitting your balls against the employees was a little grating though after the third wave lol

Unfortunately the theme criteria wasn't fulfilled very well in my opinion (very creative though, still) because the only spinning element here would've been the one-armed bandits and none of them actually do spin (or move at all for that matter).

It could become a pretty cool full-fledged game (and maybe better fit the theme even) if the one-armed bandit was a roulette-table instead and you'd give that some interaction possibly with the ball you throw. I could imagine when you hit the roulette table, it spins the ball on that table and you can throw one ball (upgradeable) to knock the roulette table ball away from wherever it would've landed to give it kind of a second wind.

I'm a huge fan of roguelikes and so I HAD to try this one out.

I must say, the graphics are some of the best ones I've noticed so far. And the rogue-like structure does seem to have healthy bones, signifying that it's quantifiable if you guys keep working on it. The core loop for the the rogue mechanic, however, is a tad...uptight in a way. But the idea itself is awesome, you just need some quality control for the core loop.

The game is very good and promising ! The hand model who holds the ball looks insanely good in game !!

I love the little story at the beginning of the game, it would be nice to have some sound effect or voice acting and moving the image with some zoom effect when someone talks :D

The gameplay is good but it lacks of gamefeel, for example, enemies that flash in white or red when they take damage with some VFX and have a hit animation. For the player, it’s the same, a red outline when you take damage and move the UI. With all that, the game would be so much more enjoyable and dynamic! You can also add a hit stop if you touch the head of an enemy and make a critical hit, adding a camera shake effect when you throw a ball. 

The game is really promising and can be really but really cool if you add all that ! You already have a very good artistic foundation, some sounds to rework as for example when dealing damage to enemies I find it a bit too present, normally with a sound cue you can limit the number of sounds played.

Anyway, well done to the whole team :)

art is crazy solid. I see lots of potential in this game. 

I kinda feel the game is more of a promise as of now.

The gameplay itself is a bit jarring, which is meant to be the main appeal, I have to say though, the art and promise of the mechanics are interesting enough as for me to root for you guys and hope you keep working on it! I really really liked the concept :D

The roguelike mechanics of upgrades is cool, I liked the ragdoll effect when beating the enemies and i LOVED the first person hand model (though the actual shooting isn't as satisfactory)

I think the easiest workaround I can think of is basically making the enemies slower and making their spawns clearer. :D

love the art in game and in intro 

The 2D art looks amazing! I am little paranoid about running random exe files from the internet though. I see you made it in UE, so probably a web build is not possible?

Amazing game! the art was very nice, and its a very cool concept. the game is really fun too

Yoo these illustrations are so good!! I love the hand animation, those drawings are so impressive, and also the 3D models of the guys are sick! It's pretty funny to see them ragdoll, and I like the audio effects too. I enjoyed it!

Love the art and the enemies. The way they move is great! I do feel like I get overwhelmed by them a little too easily but other than that this is a really cool idea!

Team ASS: JEROXIA HERE!!

I don’t usually download games during jams, but the art immediately made me want to try this one! The 2D art, comic style, and 3D models all look really cool, and the mix between 2D and 3D gives the game a strong visual identity and it looks so cool!

The core idea is also interesting. The gambling/roulette mechanic is a cool take on the theme, and I like that losing can have a negative effect rather than just being a simple fail state. That said, I do think the gameplay could use more polish and feedback. At times it was hard to tell when attacks were hitting, what the enemies were doing, or what exactly I was supposed to focus on.

Since the game is in first person, it is also easy to tunnel vision on one group of enemies while others come up behind you. Some enemy SFX, footsteps, spawn sounds, or attack cues would help a lot with awareness. I also think more enemy variety, clearer hit effects, better attack feedback, and maybe another mechanic connected to movement or the roulette ball would make the gameplay much more engaging.

Overall, the visuals are genuinely strong and they already do a lot to sell the game! A real contender and a diamond in the rough! 

Awesome game. The art and models for the game are great! The gambling mechanic is pretty cool and having a negative effect for when you lose is a cool idea. I think having another mechanic for the player related to the movement or roulette ball and having more enemy types would make the gameplay more interesting.

Since you're in first person, there would be times where you're focused on one group of enemies and there would be more behind you. I think adding a SFX for the enemies as a way alert the player would be good.

Visually, the game is cool, especially the idea of 2D and 3D in 1 game always interested me, but the gameplay is not finished in my opinion.

The comic and 2D art is so cool! But the game is lacking tons of juice and feedback. Barely understood what is happening and enemies stopped spawning. Also I missed some of the starting info as comics auto skipped and F didn't work to skip.

First of all, whether it's the 3D models or the 2D art, the visuals in this game are really cool, and it’s clear you put a lot of time into them. The gameplay concept is solid, though I feel there are far too many enemies appearing too quickly, making it easy to get overwhelmed very fast. But with a lot of polish especially (regarding feedback on attacks) the game could truly be amazing!

I would recommend some effects as feedback for actions. Right now the only reason I know balls are ven hitting enemies is because debug print statements tell me as much. Some hover and onclick effects for the buttons would've been nice too. Other than that, I'm not entirely sure what I'm supposed to be doing, I read the how to play section but it was rather unhelpful. Nice visuals tho, I commend y'all's artist!

I would recommend  since the bullets you are using are being affected by gravity  to allow the player to move their camera up and down because its very limiting and requires the player to get closs to the enemys. Also their were still some debug print strings in the game  other then that the visuals were great and the music was good.
