This is very very fun, polished, and a good use of the theme! If you'll let me nitpick, the game's speed appears to be affected by the monitors refresh rate, so I had to reduce mine to play at a reasonable speed. Also, The tutorial appears to be slightly broken at the end and didn't let me finish the tutorial, so I had to refresh the webpage. Finally, I didn't appreciate the tutorial character making fun of me for dying to the tutorial enemy. I personally didn't mind it too much, but it's generally not a good idea to make fun of your players when they're still trying to learn the game. It's a good way to make them quit.

Sorry for that mouthful, but I wouldn't critique this much if I didn't love the overall game. The spinning combat is really fun with the different playstyles and upgrades, the risk/reward slot machine is exciting, and it's very polished at every aspect. Definitely one of those "how was this made in 7 days" games. 5 stars for enjoyment.

Amazing game. The weapons felt super juicy and nice to use. Doing all this using HTML, CSS, andJSs was super cool

You managed to put a lot into the game in 7 days. The pixel art also looks good. Great job.

I someone who loves roguelike games, this one is one of those. I also had the problem with the game running way too fast so I instantly die without reacting (i think someone in the comments also mentioned about framerate), but honestly, it might also just a skill issue for me. Probably also because the game was running really fast, I really enjoyed the fast pace rounds. Really enjoyed it!

I like the different build options! Bow is kinda interesting and the most useful. I couldn't really get the ball and chain to work very well. Music is charming too!

Quite enjoyed this one. I wasn't particularly good at it (probably because I'm a little tired at the time of playing / reviewing), but the core gameplay loop is both unique and engaging. I didn't really find a use for the bow, but the sword and mace were both particularly fun to play around with!

Amazing game! The enemy book was a fun touch and its very impressive to see what you've been able to accomplish. The combat was a little hard, considering the enemies move quite quickly when they attack, but other than that it was very fun to play. Good job!

Very nice game! Mechanics are fun and I like the variety of enemies. The enemy encyclopedia is fun as well, being able to see everything the game has to offer.

Super cool that this game was made in pure javascript, but it seems like it doesn't account for framerate? When I first played, I was on a high refresh rate screen and the game ran at like 3x speed LOL. After I lowered the framerate, I stopped instantly dying in every room and had a blast.

thanks for your feedback. we apologize for the issue with the framerate, we will keep that in mind for the next time we make one of these games

Very polished and put together presentation! Rewarding game loop, I had fun with it for a decent while.  Seriously professional.

Developer

thank you for your feedback. we were glad you had fun

This is a really cool game! I love the idea of it, but it is really hard. A lot of the times when I spawn in a level there is some really fast enemy that immediately kills me. If I don't die within the first 2 seconds, the enemies are really hard to hit too with how fast they are going. It's cool how you have the theme in multiple places like spinning slots and spinning your weapons. Well done! 

Developer

Thanks, we had to make some last minute buffs but I guess it wasn't enough. Should we add some more iframes once you press play

OH. MY. GOD.

Dude, I have no idea how you pulled this off, but you should be incredibly proud of yourself. Making a game this good, with visuals this impressive, entirely in plain JavaScript is a huge achievement. It's genuinely inspiring.

The graphics are fantastic, the music is amazing... honestly, just WOW.

The only thing I could point out is that the "Spin to Win" theme isn't used quite as strongly as it could have been. But honestly, that's a very minor issue because the overall experience is simply outstanding.

Seriously, congratulations once again. You absolutely deserve to be proud of this one!
