Really fun game as simple as it is. I found the goal of breaking the game to be quite fun and I was able to break it successfully! I love the art style!
Dagger strat with a bajillion books.
LMAOOO I love how you guys keep finding a million different ways to break the game!
The eyes on the goblin spin with your mouse omg. I love it!! The amount of work that went into this, from ONE PERSON is amazing!! The art, gameplay, and Goblin with his store are all perfect. Fantastic job!
It really means a lot when someone notices you built the whole thing completely solo
Love the theme and art. You are a one man army.
So sweet❤
Took a couple of tries to get it but then I was on a roll.
I liked the store integration and how it allowed me to make some interesting decisions, also the capacity of reselling my purchased goods. Strong mechanic with a nice risk reward system. Well done!
There are so many beautifully drawn games in this game jam, but yours really stands out because of its art style. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before. And I mean that in the best possible way!
Absolute music to my ears!
This was hard to stop playing. I really see this as a game that should be released as a phone game or something. It definitely feels like it can be released as is.
Chaotic indeed! It's cute and fun. I liked the style and the small details like the sfx as you press some items at the shop. The merchant goblin is cute as well lmao. Its simple yet fun and chaotic!!
Hehehe that's fun.
Great art style. I love eyeballs moving on shop vendors -- I've done that in a few jams now.
Good gameplay loop, but it needs a goal to work towards.
Obviously following the box becomes impossible, then it's just like gambling, and trying to build your deck to have more good things than bad. I think there's a lot of potential here.
Great submission!
Overall a great polished entry, with nice details like the sound effects in the shop for the not buyable items and a unique and consistent art style. As far as points of feedback:
It took me a bit to notice the < button for the shop.
Second point, I don't know if it was meant to be free to reroll, but with the fake-gold ring i rerolled alot to gain infinite money without playing a single round with mimics.
That's all I'd add... so overall I had a blast playing your submission.
That was the exact goal! Knowing jam games are short, I wanted to let players break the game however they want—the money ring is one of those options. Free rerolls aren't bugs either; they let you throw together a broken build quickly without wasting time, so you can go play other games
