Getting stuck on a level where all the monsters are killed or the pentagrams are destroyed unfortunately did not allow me to complete this game. I also join the comments about the difficulty of finding monsters, especially black slugs, and found a problem when the hero cannot get to the place where he is supposed to explode, the explosion occurs separately from the hero. Despite all this, the game is very cool, the music and drawing style kept me playing even despite the above mentioned flaws, a great project that needs some small fixes.

Love the concept of adding movement to a deck building game. Also the game look/music is super cool. Could be interesting to be able to see enemy intentions, but I found not knowing what will happen next to be kinda cool (kill closest enemies first worked well enough for me to not need to worry about what exactly the enemy wanted to do). Would love to see the bug free version (needing to randomly restart was a bit of a bummer)!

This game is incredibly cool! I love how the paths change every time you play it, and the deck building mechanic is really well implemented. Also the art is fantastic! Great work.

I had great fun playing this game! Most impressive one I've seen so far! I like everything about it, the color palette, art, music, card gameplay mechanic combination with player position. You mention about the bug and yes it is very unfortunate, I got stuck 4 times before my playing rng by reloading the game leads me to the above map structure (I only take bats and blood ) so I could experience the boss battle stage. I love it! Good job!

This is seriously impressive design. The 2D card-slinging feel is awesome and a really neat twist on a Slay The Spire style game. Sometimes a level would fail to complete after defeating all enemies, and I do wish I could see the exact health values of each enemy. Regardless, I really enjoyed this and would 100% buy it as a standalone game. Fantastic art and sound design too!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I did kind of have "slay the spire with movement" in my head while I was making it. :p

When im allowed to update it I'll be sure to make it easier to see health amounts.

You can already see it as a tooltip if you hover a health bar with your mouse but it's a bit hard to notice if you don't know it's there.


Thanks heaps for the feedback ^.^

I enjoyed the mix of overworld movement and card effects that were aided by some of the map types. It added a nice layer of complexity on top of the phenomenal graphics and sound design.

Developer

Thank you ^.^

i really like the turn-based free movement/ability use, but in the end i couldnt really finish the game cause sometimes ending combat just wouldnt trigger after you complete objectives. Also the dark sludge enemies in the pentagram levels are extremely hard to see, and sometimes arent highlighted by hovering over them, though seemingly only when theyre right next to you. 
interesting idea, but pretty buggy (in terms of a game made in one week)

i didn't see any storm

My game is LITERALLY storm

THE MUSIC AND SOUND DESIGN IS GOATED!! 

As a metal head I NEED the soundtrack on youtube PLEASE! Pixabay you're the goat!

Developer

Thank you :D
It wasn't easy to find music that fit the vibe I was going for but it worked out pretty nice.
I was originally looking for slow heavy doom but I couldn't find anything that was free to use :P

If you wanted to find the music, you can find most of them in this search https://pixabay.com/music/search/sinister%20metal/

Amazing game, I was so close to beating it! I liked the turn based strategy combat a lot. The music also fit really well, great job!

Really like the concept of the game. It's a cool idea that you can move the player freely with some cards.

Submitted(+1)

Really nice game!
I really like the gameplay loop where you need to use the cards each turn, it's a really nice concept.
There was only 2 things that I spotted, first of all some enemies were really difficult to spot and I had to use the zap ability to spot them correctly. I often had jumpscares seeing 5-6 enemies within 5 "meters" from me ^^. Maybe making a slight outline could have prevented that? 

Also for the mana, I didn't see any place where is was displayed? Maybe making it so you can always see the mana left and see how much each spell uses, it would greatly help the decision making on which spell to use :)

 I really like the concept good job for your submission!!

Developer(+1)

You are right about things being hard to spot.
The shadows I made intentionally hard to see, but the other guys are hard to see mainly because of the restricted colour palate. I think an outline on characters would be a good idea.

The mana should be displayed just above the end turn button, and how much the card costs is on the top left of the card. I will make this more obvious in the future though :)

Thanks for the feedback ^.^

You've made deckbuilding a new way of playing
That's a good idea
Art is good, but the atmosphere is well delivered
It was a fun game

Submitted(+1)

I like the style of the game, metal music is perfect for this aesthetic.
The gameplay is quite fun, and lends itself to further expanding the concept. 
great job! :D

Very cool art style and feel! I got stuck on the third level where I didn't see any more enemies and didn't know how to progress, but I was enjoying building up my deck!

Developer

Unfortunately the bug doesn't show up all the time so I didn't catch it before the jam ended :( 
Thanks for playing though :)

Submitted(+1)

Really good!  Great adherence to a strict art style and didn't run into any bugs!

Developer

Thanks, it was my first time using a small colour palate :)

Submitted(+1)

This is actually awesome. The movement as part of the card mechanics is really interesting, and I could see it being expanded even more. Only issue is it seems like it gets stuck in the skull levels and won't progress even after I've killed all the enemies, but I tried a few times because the game is fun enough that I wanted to see what a full run looks like!!

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

ill patch it after the game jam is done to fix the glitch where you cant advance after all enemies are killed
