Good game.

Nice Survivors-like game. The idea of build the roulette based on the upgrades is very cool.
Related to the controls, I think that firing and the spell casts could be aoutomatic, the player could still aim with the mouse of cours. But keep the mouse button pressing all the time and spamming the space bar to cast spells is and inconvenient in my opinion.

Also the constant colision with the enemies is a bit frustating, maybe give the player a short time of invulneravility to pass throught the enemies after hit one, it will help.

Wow! I really enjoyed the variety of spells and enchantments. You can tell there are countless combinations to test and different playstyles to try out, which makes you want to experiment and start a new run just to see what works best.A quick confession: it took me ages to figure out how to earn XP 😅. I was convinced that getting hit by enemies was part of the progression system. Once I finally realized that the small white orbs were the key, everything became much clearer! Anyway, great job! -Off

This is a very fun "vampire survivors"-esque game! I played a couple times and I got so close to beating it until I got surrounded at the 37 sec mark! T.T The first time I died was just from hoarding / getting trapped as well. I'm sure it's been stated already, but some iframes would've been nice! Everything else feels very polished though. Great submission!

Very well made game! Here is my honest review:

Pros

• Fun roguelike gameplay
• I really liked wheel spin mechanic
• Nice SFX and background audio
• Nice idea of choosing starting spin wheel

Cons

• On high levels passive upgrades like increasing damage or projectiles amount are ruining your wheel instead of upgrading it. So it would be better if they were separately

My suggestions/improvements

• I think there is no point in clicking/holding LMB, because ammo are infinite, so you can make shooting basic projectiles automatic
• It would be cool to see upgrades rerolls, for example you get 3 rerolls for whole run and you can reroll your upgrades when you want
• Also it would be good to skip upgrade or having an option to remove upgrade from the wheel

In overall I really liked your game. I hope you will continue to manage it further and release a full game. If you didn't understand something from what I have said, feel free to ask me.

Wow, playing this game brought back so many great memories! I think the roulette mechanic is really well implemented and definitely fits the jam's theme 100%. Another thing worth highlighting is the graphics, 10/10. Great job!

Great game! I love how I can build my own wheel, its a very creative and fun mechanic. The different spells and enchantments are very cool too. I can see this game becoming even better if expanded upon. Another enemy type would keep the game from feeling too repetitive, but as you only had one week to make this, it's totally understandable. Well done! 

Really nice execution, the wheel suggestions you got in the comments are valid, in addition it might be cool to have more upgrades outside the wheel, idk like wheel spin rate, or left click imbuing or upgrading stuff. Maybe there could be some interplay between those? Like you shoot 1 more bullet but you gotta remove a skill from the wheel or somethng. I can see this catching on with more polish and depth but a great jam effort! If you have time we would appreciate your feedback on our game as well cheers!

Hey CandyHen!

I think this is one of the best games where it can be expanded into something really special if you wanted to develop it!

I think it was satisfying building your own wheel. Following up with what Valeriy Petrov said: I think you can make the wheel more dynamic by giving more synergy where you place upgrades, though I did see that lightning got extra from other lightning placed adjacent.  I think there should be more of that!!!  The wheel is kinda your loadout, and I could see a lot of options for adding meaningful decisions for where you place stuff.

That said I had a great time playing, and I hope to see this developed further in the future!

it's a good game but it gets a bit tiring after 5 minutes

Has a nice game flow and a good escalation with the upgrades! Could have some potential for some more variety.

At later game state i got some performance issues, then the horde is getting bigger over time. 

Overall, good work! :)

Nice game! I like bullet-heaven games (meaning I like Vampire Survivors, haha), and this game has scratched that itch for me. Interesting mechanic with placing sectors on the wheel, although ultimately I'm not sure if my placement had any meaningful impact on the gameplay. 

Good job!

Very addictive game. Only criticism I have is player should have some invulnerable frame when get hit. Other than that this game is very good :D 

Very funny... too challenging for my skill set, but enjoyable though. Good Job!

Awesome concept! I was getting a bit overloaded by having to move, aim, and roll all at the same time, but over time it got easier. The spells were all really good to, and this could become a survival roguelike time of game with this idea! Nice job  :)

Nice game dude!

Wooo I survived the entire night! My wheel did look terrible in the end tho haha, I had placed the gray tiles inbetween the purple once so I don't think the purple onces did anything, that's my bad.  I usually don't really like the wheelspin mechanic because sometimes its ONLY luck, but I think you did a good job making it so you could affect the odds and adding new abilities! I do think all the abilities seemed pretty good too, I got to try all of them except the skull and ice, the skull seemed a little dangerous, what if I rolled it multiple times and just DIED. I also think it felt pretty bad to rolling the gray tiles since that didnt do anything right? Just a re-spin. Towards the end of the game I mostly had grays so I felt like I didnt really get to use any abilities, not sure how you would fix that thoo, maybe grays should be outside of the wheel as equipment or something? 

I also think it was a bit sad that the new enemy doesnt appear until like 5 minutes in, it would be nice if new enemies started showing up sooner and maybe a bit more variety, but I understand its hard to do in only a week, so good job!!

Solid Survivors-like and I actually really like the design of adding in the abilities to the pie chart, especially how some of the stat boosts add "grey" sections that dont give an ability

The game is really fun. The idea of spinning the roulette wheel and increasing your odds as you level up is a clever mechanic that fits the theme really well. The art is beautiful too.

I know it's hard to add everything during a game jam, but if you decide to keep developing the project, I think it would be awesome to add an upgrade system where collecting duplicate copies of the same spell makes it stronger. Maybe placing matching spells next to each other on the roulette wheel could also increase their power, or even merge them into a stronger version when you have four of the same spell side by side. Just an idea! I also think adding more enemy variety would make the game even better.

Congratulations on a great game!

This is a really fun survival game! I love being able to customize the wheel and how each spell felt. The only issues I had was the knockback with the enemies knocks me back into other enemies and makes it really annoying to get away since they block you with collision, and I didn't know the grey upgrades were passive effects. I thought you got them each time you rolled on them. I really liked this game though; it was a lot of fun! Great job!

Now THAT was an addicting survival game! I loved how I could customize the wheel how i wanted it with each upgrade, placing the spells where I wanted too, and with so many spells to get, it was fun seeing all the colors on the wheel wondering what Spell i would get! Magic missals was definitely my favorite spell lol. Amazing game and amazing work, Good Job!
