How does the game fit the theme?
In this rogue-like adventure, nothing can go wrong as Zahir is helped by a powerful genie that grants you wishes.
But be careful : every wish you make come with a drawback, sometimes just annoying, sometimes downright crippling for the rest of the game.
Well... maybe a few things could go wrong...
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?

The visuals in this are really impressive. I thought the concept was really strong, and I enjoyed playing with the 2 wishes available, but couldn't progress after completing another level. I tried playing the re-upload with more wishes, and I found a lot of the extra wishes to be too frustrating. The slow motion one really took the cake. There also seemed to be some issue where sometimes the player character would look and shoot in the opposite direction of my cursor, which seemed wrong. What I loved best was getting super strength to 'push your enemies back' and finding that I rocketed around backwards, that felt like there was a great arc of "oh knockback would be good" -> "oh no! I can't control this it's impossible!" -> "actually this is GREAT, I can use this to get around". If all the wishes had that kind of counter-intuitive benefit to them I think this game would be absolutely great.

SkytanicVery fun game! I'm really surprised you did it in just one week.
But I must say that I didn't like: I didn't like the slow movement of the character after choosing the wish to be strong, as well as the crazy recoil when shooting. Everything would have been ok, if I hadn't been forced to choose this wish.
Otherwise, the game is amazing and very well-developed. Very good job!

The Last BankOk, first of all, making a roguelike like this during a single week is insane. Congrats!
Obviously, the balance between power and handicaps is way off, most of which are, basically, a death sentence. While this clearly wouldn't work in a full game, for a jam entry it's ideal, since most games won't be played for long and, so, the gags won't have enough time to wear out (before frustration sets in).
I don't want to imagine the hours it took with the addition of multiple enemies, weapons, a final boss and everything else. It's pretty much insane. To be honest, the logistics of making this game are what interest me the most, lol.
Congratulations! You should have far more ratings. It's possible entering the wrong version affected the algorithm, since nobody should open it. Regardless, this is definite portfolio material, programatically and artistically! Congrats.

Spaced OutThis was a lot of fun, super polished. I liked the recoil on Super Strenght a lot, to get around also funny pause menu. Great work.

Going to MarsThis was a really fun idea and I enjoyed playing it alot!

Perfection - Nothing can go wrong...Great job! Excellent idea! The visuals are very well done, my compliments; in such a short time, you were able to create both the environment and the enemies. It gives a fantastic Zelda-like adventure and roguelike feeling. I found it amusing that the Midas enhancement turns gold into food, but it's not very clear why the super reflex inverts the shooting direction. It's a pity that the one-punch enhancement doesn't defeat the boss in one hit, but then it would be too easy))) Also, I would like to feel more impact from the shooting, but overall it’s still awesome!

Disaster RescueAwesome implementation of roguelite elements, short of basic gameplay. Would def play this as a complete bigger release, atm its just a cute little thing, but loved the wishes stuff

Murphy's LawThis is really cute and really unexpected for the theme. Good job

Nothing Ever Inc.I liked the music and the vibe of the game!
That the wishes had some drawbacks was great and it made the game quite interesting and variable.

Déjà VroomThis game is so fun but I think One Shot is a bit op and I think the fact getting a car as an option is really funny
I liked the music a lot and I am not surprised 5 people worked on this game.

Factory LineThe graphcis are sweet. Is there a possibility to change the camera angle? Some of the screenshots look like it's possible.
I'd wish a possibility to unwish some wishes. :-P
Submitted
World Crisis SimulatorThank you !
Unfortunately, no, it's not possible to change the angle :/ The images are just screenshots taken for the page and the main menu.
Well about some "unwished wishes", there was an idea to have a room that can switch a wish for another, we just didn't have the time to add it within the deadline.
wish i was better at gaming lol
Very good game, love the gameplay and the upgrades are really fun !
