Great concept! But if only we could see the number of moves left. And there's some bugs that made me miss? I don't know if I missed or if I clicked in the wrong place.
I like the concept of the game, it's really unique! I don't think it fits the theme very well, though. The game is fun, but I think it could use some general tweaks. For example, It would feel a lot better if, instead of having to click on the tile underneath an enemy to attack him, you could just click the enemy himself. Also, I wish there was a indicator to tell you how many moves you can make.
Overall, good job!
I like that you included a bit of an intro cutscene, helps set up the context and give it a tone of your voice. It feels like a very original concept, and shows promise. In its present form I didn't click with it, but I can see the amount of thought that has gone into the design of wanting the player to consider their movement in relation to the attack/abilities they can pick up depending on the numbers on the dominoes.
That level intro animation where the pieces all pop up is slick! With all the moving parts working, it shows a solid proof of concept that warrants further game design and balancing. I had an instance where a bunch of sixes were just bunched up around my starting position, so I used that lightning skill repeatedly without worrying about the enemies, it was a novel moment and I felt powerful if not a little overpowered haha - that moment of identifying an area I could exploit was a good one.
Very funny and cool setting, this is a nice idea!
Sadly it was very buggy on my side so I didn't play too long
Thank you! What bugged for you?
I really enjoyed this! I first died at depth 5, and I was happy to be able to restart from there. Then in depth 6 I got lucky with the placement of the numbers and got ground over and over to defeat each enemy. I liked the lightning attack the most :)
That game concept is sooo cool. I had a lot of fun
Thank you for playing!
Sadly bugs out when the intro finishes. Think this is a issue with GLES3 on Mac browsers. Should probably raise a bug ticket for Godot
Darn. Yeah, I've always had issues with browser builds on Mac. I can try to build for Mac if you'd like.
Very original idea, I liked it. Made it to depth 5 and was eventually trapped in the corner where I couldn't move and was just beaten down. With some more elements and varying enemy strategies this could be a bigger game.. curious to see what you do with it. 👍
Darnit. There's a lot of RNG that I need to fix in this game! Thanks for playing!
Good game and original! Will try again!
What a neat concept!
I sometimes struggled to click the right thing, but that didn't stop my enjoyment once I got going.
I will definitely be playing this again when I am less tired post jam. Good work!
Yeah, definitely need to fix that issue. Thank you for playing!
Don't worry about it too much, as soon as I realized I should click the domino I adjusted for it. It definitely wasn't a detractor from the awesome game!
Really nice for a jam game. Unique idea. Main points of feedback I have:
#1 - Definitely! Originally, I wanted the same health on every enemy. But making them have varying health amounts made it nice to strategize which enemy to defeat first. I think I'll have to make this better.
#2 - 100% a bug that I was too tired to fix (LOL)
#3 - Yeah... I had collision masks working at the beginning of the game where this isn't an issue. It's where you go to every level afterwards.
#4 - Omg I had the same idea for "inactive dominoes". But it was hard for me to figure out how to visually represent those so I took it out. I had a lock on them with a countdown timer from 3. Basically, you could receive the # value from a tile unless you stepped on 3 other tiles first.
Thank you for the awesome feedback BroReNata.
Good idea with good presentation, I like it!
Thank you!
Entertaining and functional, and gives a good idea about the concept. Just a good game jam entry in every aspect.
Hey thanks!
