Heya! Finally got around to your game after requesting feedback on stream - if concept is worth working on it more?

I think its entirely on how much you think you can take the idea in new and interesting ways. The inspiration to Vampire survivors is obvious, but given the restraints of a Game jam, its missing some of the hooks - Permanent unlocks between levels, direct item interaction and combinations that let you break the item rules, way too many unlockable characters that each have their own level-ups and level pass-trackers on a range of maps that are better and worse per character - Just so so so many reasons to keep coming back. 

But the other thing is you need to work out how to still be a step different than vampire survivors - the timing and sequence idea is cool, but vampire survivors is kinda already on this system with its internal, hands-off cooldowns. Maybe the way the world or character moves can also be a part of this sequence? Lean into this idea more, simplification is better here

That said, this game is a stunning work of art for the gamejam time given - don't let this feedback take away from the incredible idea, artwork, music and execution - Legitimately impressive and you guys should be proud! 

very interesting concept and engaging

this game was super polished and amazing and fun and I don't really have any fundamental complaints so I'm gonna just give some small specific critiques :) I felt like the player hitbox could be slightly more forgiving just to make it more fun to squeeze through crowds, the current money could be more highlighted in the shop and I feel like it would be cool if the enemy deaths were a bit more noticeable,. because most of the time I was just collecting their crystals after they were killed off screen by my spells, and i think it would have been very satisfying if they like died a bit more instant or something? otherwise, really cool concept and implementation :)

The juice was so good here. I’m also a sucker for the comic book and pop art styled aesthetic. This was also really fun. Just amazing. Only thing I would say is that the upgrades didn’t seem to show up early enough. They were all level 1 and sudden they were level 3. Perhaps I should’ve been rerolling more?
