game looks cool. Platforming could've been refined a bit and more enemy types is always fun.

This is very creative but I do wish the controls were better, they present a big obstacle, still its a very impressive project.

A long winterNice job on completing your game. That's an accomplishment!
The randomizing a new ability lends itself well to the roguelite genre, so doing that randomization across 9 lives is a cool touch. The graphics and sprites were also really nice.
The controls didn't really work for me. L/K keys are an awkward keyboard position. Is there a reason you chose this instead of LMB/RMB or Q/E or even shift/space?
And I'm sure you know this, but try budgeting time for audio for your next jam. Once you've learned how to do some light audio, it makes a huge improvement to the overall feel of your game. Give it a go!
Again, congrats on finishing and submitting. Keep making games!

Sad & FuriousGreat graphics! Animation and sounds would really decorate the game. I get an error when the opponent touches me in web version, I had to play without taking damage, lol

Fighting ChanceI ended up mostly using the primary sword for killing the enemies, since the enemies were usually not visible until they are basically on top of me--making the projectile weapons difficult to use. BUT, beyond that I must say the overall difficulty is quite good. I made it through with one life left on my first try, and although getting one-shotted was frustrating at first, the fact that progress is saved helped a ton. As someone who also went with the random weapons approach, it was fun to try out all the options, and I really like the cool down icon in the top left--makes it very clear when I can/cannot attack.

Daemon DiceEnjoyable to play and great character design. With a little more time, I can see this guy being iconic.

Dungeons and DicemastersThe game is quite beautiful, the character is not very nice to control though, it slides a little too much, the theme of the dice would have been more pushed, even if the idea of having them as projectiles is rather good. and the game also crashes when you die is quite a shame
