Cool to have randomly generated weapons and maps. The hitboxes felt a bit weird with it feeling like my attack range is slightly shorter than theirs making it hard to reach without taking damage but the slowdown of time does help a lot. Pretty cool overall. :)

I liked the artstyle, the music, and the animations. Took me a while to understand that beetles stop when you attack. When I found that out I noticed that you can just stand in front of the beetles and spam "e"  to lock them into place.  That made the game a bit less engaging. Still fun to smash some beetles with your sword!

Thanks a lot for the feedbacks! The mechanical of the beetles stopping when the player starts attacking really doesn't work so well, maybe it would be better if it was in slow motion rather than a total stop. But thanks a lot again!

Those are big beetles!!

Nice theme! I like the idea of randomly chosen weapons. While trying to play though I think I just kept getting the same weapon, the big sword that takes a second to swing? I was trying to time up jump to the weapon box but seemed like everytime I got the sword. I wonder how many weapons there are?

Anyways good job with this!

Thank you very much by feedbacks! The game has three weapons, the first it's a Dagger, that isn't stronger, but is more fastes; The second it's a Sword, that's a little stronger, and a little faster; And the third it's a Special Sword, that it's stronger, but is slow.

Took me a while to leave start screen. maybe some intro text.
Wish attack was on a button for my right hand since left was moving.
Neat idea and interesting feel with timing the sword hits.
Overall cool idea but did not get to a point where I saw the theme?

Developer

Thanks a lot by feedbacks! The theme it's introduced when the player need to hit the dice to select him weapon.

Combate é bem dificil, o jogo pode ficar bem massa. To comentando em PT pq vi que sao BRs. Só não ficou muito claro o tme Roll The Dice, tudo bem ter aleatoriedade, mas talvez tivesse um jeito de deixar mais claro que tinha algo aleatorio acontecendo, de qualquer forma parabéns pela submissão galera!

Muito obrigado pelos feedbacks! Iremos leva-los em consideração para outros jogos

The weapon does not change and the changes in the map are hardly noticeable. The weapon is also very un-fun and frustrating to use.

Developer

Thanks for feedbacks, but what exactly made the weapons become un-fun and frustrating?

The animation for swinging the weapon is very slow and the whole game stops when you use one. You also can't use the weapons for a  sec after being damaged. Hope this helps!
