Nice game! I liked the concept of rolling damage and stuff a lot. The difficulty level was pretty balanced and the levels with fog of war really added a lot of strategy. I was a bit confused about rolling natural 20s and what not since from what I could see it was a 1-6 die. But maybe I misunderstood the combat system. I still had a lot of fun playing though. Great job!
First game I've rated and i think it will stay my favourite. Fantastic game. Thought I had worked out dodging and fighting early on but the the difficulty ramped up steadily throughout to keep the game engaging. Fun story that reminded me of old games like zork and choose your own adventure games. Fantastic music that fit the game pefectly reminded me of music from Runescape. Only got two songs deep before dieing but both were great. Well done.
Thank you so much for your kind words! Our writer/sound designer sends his thanks as well!
The visuals are great and the gameplay so far is good. I love the game, good job <3
Thanks for your kind words, and for giving it a shot!
Nice game! Both the music and the art were pretty simple but very good, the gameplay was straightforward but fun, and the story was a nice detail. I don't know how much your choices actually affect the gameplay, but I liked that part anyway lol
The choices were initially meant to serve a bigger purpose in the following fights, but it ended up just determining the amount of enemies that you'd encounter. If we had more time we could have made it more impactful! Thanks for playing!
How was this done in 50 hours, I can't even.
Very fun, liked the mix of story and action pieces. Reminded me of the old Oregon Trail game (in a good way.) Easy 5-star from me.
It was a fever dream that was fueled by minimal sleep, lol. Thank you for your kind words, and for playing!
Congrats on finishing your game!
I really liked the take on the D&D theme here. The abstracted enemies were well animated and the overall aesthetic is nice. Nicely done. And that music track was nice and catchy.
The gameplay didn't quite grab me. It all just felt a little too slow, like I was waiting more than playing. I ended up skipping all the dialogue when I realized it probably didn't have any effect on the gameplay and the long cooldown between attacks was a bit frustrating, especially when being swarmed by 3 or 4 other enemies.
Still a pretty cool experience. Well done and keep making cool games!
Thanks for giving it a shot!
The dialogue has a minimal effect on the next fight. It really only determines whether you'll be fighting more enemies or not. We wanted there to be more weight to your decisions but frankly ran out of time.
We made a decision to only let the player have one active "d20" at a time to prevent the game being an easy spam-click-to-win, but it did perhaps bump the difficulty a bit too much.
Thank you for the constructive feedback!
A really great game, with passible visuals, solid gameplay, and headphone safe audio. Really loved the humorous D&D style events between stages! Played a couple of runs but couldn't make it to the final boss seen in the trailer. Still had a lot of fun!
Thank you so much for playing! (Spoiler: The fights leading up the the Final Boss may actually be more challenging than the boss itself. Oops!)
Really loved the satisfying sound effects and the little text adventure parts were a nice surprise!
Thank you for playing :)
Like the visuals !
Our artist says thank you! Thanks for playing!
Surprised at the depth and polish you were able to accomplish in under 50 hours! Great work!
It was a sleepless weekend, but we're happy with what we were able to pump out. Thank you for playing!
Roll or get rolled! This game is incredibly unique! I would classify this game as a Survival RPG with Bullet Hellements. To anybody who enjoys D&D, this game is sure to tickle your fancy!
I love the tag "Bullet Hell-ements"! Thanks for playing!
Interesting concept though it is simply visualizing the behind the scenes rolls you do in a normal RPG. It is done with a good amount of visual polish and simple but effective sound and music. Bonus points for having a working volume setting for both music and sfx.
Feel free to check out the game I made with a group for this jam too https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam-2022/rate/1618446
Thank you for playing!
