Game's Take on the Theme
The protagonist's weapon is a boomerang, and the game's main mechanic is a roulette wheel that decides your opponent.

Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
The UI art, SFX and musics were from asset packs.

I like the art style, reminds me of the good ol' Flash Game days. Could use more indicators on the bosses, though

Developer

Thanks!

Nice visuals, reminds me of Rayman. The gameplay is very interesting, but I think the bosses' skills should have a short delay or any visual sign to make them more predictable for the player to avoid, since they deal lots of damage. Maybe add a jumping mechanic to also deal damage  on the boss instead on the player would be great. Good job :)

Thanks for the feedback and for playing, I'll try to add these functions in the next version of the game!

I like the visuals of the game, the mechanics are fine, just I would advice you add some time gap before attacks so that we can avoid better, what I tend to do for this is execute some animation or effect that will show the player this attack may be coming so that he can be prepared, not much really, its just a fraction of a second or so but its good that you do this to prevent catching people off guard. I rate graphics on top but I like everything, if you have time, please rate my game, thanks!!

Developer

We had intended to put an indicator before each attack, but unfortunately we didn't have time as we spent time improving other parts of the game experience. My sincere apologies if this disturbed your gameplay, and thank you for the compliments on the art!

Visually, the game is stunning. The music is also quite nice. However, the combat feels a bit dull. The attacks come too suddenly to react in time, so it often just turns into a battle of who can deal more damage faster. That said, I really liked the idea of the boss being chosen randomly with a fortune wheel!

Thanks for the feedback, unfortunately we didn't have time to put an indicator before each attack, I'm sorry if this made your experience less entertaining

I loved the idea of the game, and the art for the bosses was fantastic! Gameplay was a little simple and a bit too difficult, it seemed like you had 1/4 second the react and jump over the enemy attacks or you would lose a third of your health, really wish the game was more forgiving over all

Developer

I really appreciate the compliment on the art! I agree about the game's difficulty, I think that during development I ended up falling into a bit of "Battletoads syndrome"

had a good time playing this game,

do like the spinning to choose which boss you will fight, something small but understandable.

the bull and the laser one were easy to beat, but the last two were hard, and I tried to beat them, the third one was hard but managed, while the chaos guy chaotic.

had a good time, and it got me trying to beat the boss, so good job on that.

Developer

I'm very happy to know that you had a good time playing my game. At first I had a little trouble thinking about how to fit the jam theme into the game, but it's good to know that everything worked out well in the end!
