Very fun and polished! But I found it got too easy, the circle around my cursor was so small it didn't even matter anymore.
Still though, I had fun playing this game good job!

Thanks for playing! I'm sorry I won't have time to try yours before the jam ends, but I'll definitely check it out over the next few days and leave you some feedback

Thanks!

Noooo ???! What a cool idea to use darts score as the countdown and give upgrades when reaching 0 !!! It does remind me of some kind of game my team and I were working on this past week-end XD
Jokes apart, lovely idea to add difficulty by adding some randomness to the shot. I like the bonuses although I had the feeling it was a bit too easy to get them in the early game, and a bit too easy to get to 0 too (or maybe I am just a master at darts throwing). Congrats for your game I had fun playing it !! :)

Yessss!!!?
Thanks for playing! I totally agree, it definitely need more balancing, i will post a post Jam version with some smalll measing feature and balancing.

Cool simple game that fits the jam theme. :D
Combining this with the game of darts and some roguelike elements made it so fun!!

Congrats! <3

I have never played darts so it took me a second to work out what was going on... But once I had really great game! Would love to see a more developed version :)

Excellent jam entry.

Submitted

This was really fun game. I like the concept and it was really well made. Great job. :)

Submitted

UI didnt quite scale right for me; great concept though! Clean art style and seems like fun

Submitted

A rogue-like dart game? This is awesome!  The game is super well polished but needs some balancing (I know im being very original here haha). I got way more money in the game then I could ever know what to do with lol. Overall a lovely experience!

Submitted

I enjoyed playing this one, its a bit refreshing to play an easily understandable, kinda easy game. And rly cool artwork!

Developer

i agree its a little easy, but the sounds and art and core dart mechanics are all really well refined. good job!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Very nice game, and good looking! kinda easy tho

Developer

Thanks for playing!

There is clearly a balancing problem, but the game is fun, beautiful, addictive and has really a great potential. I hope you will continue its development !! 

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I totally agree with you about the balancing issues. I made some last-minute adjustments because the game was way too hard and frustrating, but unfortunately, that ended up making it too easy! I'll at least fix those balance issues and add a few missing features in a post-jam version. :)

Submitted

Wow, a darts simulator too! I really liked the shop mechanic and the idea of having to score an exact number of points. It's really cool that on the final throw, the game highlights the optimal spot you need to hit. The pleasant visuals and sounds leave a really nice feel after playing. Great project!

Developer

Thanks for testing! Glad to know those quality-of-life features didn't go to waste! :D

Submitted

I was not expecting a rogue-like dart game. A great idea.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for testing it out! :)

Submitted

Hey man, please consider a full release even if it's just an endless version with the same mechanics. I find myself coming back to this one whenever I need to kill time (: I can only imagine how fun it'd be in a fully realised version. 

Submitted

Wow! I wish I thought of the wobbly cursor for my darts game. BTW I really like your interpretation of the theme ;) 
Overall you did a great job with this one and I had a lot of fun with it.

Developer(+1)

You probably say that because we approached the theme in a pretty similar way, haha! Thanks for your feedback!

Submitted

The wobbling added a lot to make it feel like actual darts!  Liked the roguelite mechanics but some perks were definitely overpowered (triple focus)!

Developer

Thanks for taking the time to test it out! Yeah, unfortunately I didn't have time to balance the game properly. I'm going to work on a post-jam version with better balancing and a few extra features I didn't get the chance to implement! :D

Submitted

I love darts.
The wobbly dot is a great way to handle accuracy: not completely random but not completely accurate

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

One of my favorite games this jam so far! Love it, really well done!

Developer

Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for taking the time to test it out! :D
