Absolutely loved this. One of my highest-rated games of the jam so far. Very original concept, clean art and I actually LOVE the anticipation of what attack will be generated next. In my playthrough, I did find that you could simply remain in one spot and spam space to clear all the enemies, so maybe a slight cooldown would be a nice addition moving forward. Anyhow, wonderful entry!

The presentation is very clean, and the number powers are interesting, but I had a difficult time with the controls. Using the mouse to aim and spacebar to attack while moving with WASD is not very intuitive.

The graphic and sound is good. The use of the limitation is awesome. The biggest drawback to me is how difficult it is to get into the game at first, like I have no idea which ability I'll use when I press space and just keep spamming the space bar, hoping it uses some good ability.

This was surprisingly fun! Hit me up next jam if you need some original music :)

Good stylized and clean graphics. Very juicy. I imagine this game to be the definition of taking a simple concept adding a twist and polishing it a lot. May I know how long it took to create it?

I am glad you liked my game! And if my math is correct, I spent like 20 hours on the project.  Making an attack for every digit was probably the most time consuming process so there wasn't much time left for stuff like audio (which I underestimated again ).

Wow, the use of the limitation is by far the best I've seen so far. Really nice idea! Had a bunch of fun with the chaotic gameplay even though it's too easy as others have mentioned

Hahahaha this is a great idea. I really liked to play my own score xD The colors and lighting effects are soo beautiful. The music does not get annoying, love that. And the attacks look super good. Overall a super intersting and fun concept.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this game! I didn't expect to have so much fun. The fact that each number had its own attack pattern was so cool. It took me a while to notice that I could fire each number off individually, that was an awesome discovery. This game is super arcadey and I love it! I also love the emission glow, it's like a cheat code for great looking visuals, but that's okay, I still love it. Keep up the great work, this game is amazing! I gave this one a high rating, it's definitely one of my favorites

you nailed it visually and i really like the concept but the game is too easy since you can just spam the space bar

overall pretty good, well done

Really love the visuals! Gameplay side is a little lacking since you can just space spacebar but that's okay for a game jam!

Nice game, looks very good and different abilities of numbers are wonderful :)
