How have you integrated the theme in your game?
We have implemented this concept in several ways. First, instead of following the traditional arena rule, where you win by killing and entertaining the crowd, we inverted it: you win by reaching 100% on the rage meter. The crowd must hate you!
Another approach is in how weapons are used. The main character throws them rather than using them as intended.
We also applied this idea to the narrative. Diogenes is known for rejecting societal rules in ancient Greece, which reinforces the game’s core theme of breaking conventions.

Loved the game. I think this is one of the few games to use 3d visuals. Maybe you could have added a final boss fight at the end. Apart from that, really loved it.
The mustache guy in the end is... the... final boss! Thank you for your feedback!
I found the game to be good but it was confusing on how exactly to increase rage. I spent alot of time throwing objects at the referee to increase very little. I also did a run hitting the gladiators. It was... Confusing. Other than that part of it I found the game play to be funny albeit a litte tedious. Good job on the good game!
Thanks for the comment, i understand what you mean and we intend to continue working on it until release and will definetly find a better way to indicate that the Referee blocks the rage cause he denies your actions until you stun him
The narrative was very fun and goofy, loved the opening cutscene. I think some additional things like a quick tutorial could add polish and maybe adjusting the camera movement to be a bit more fluid. Really good concept and very impressive for the jam :D
Thank you so much for the feedback, when i finish working today ill definetly play your game. I already know its good cause my team enjoyed playing it so im excited to test!
I really liked the game! The theme with Diogenes makes sense. Loved throwing stuff at the referee. The music was really good and I wish we could lure the enemies to the traps
wow, the game is well polished, and the story is great!
Fun gameplay loop. Breaking the rules by hitting the referee is very nice for the theme.
This was quite fun, thanks for your hard work :)
Love the gameplay loop. Wish more enemies would spawn, aside from the group attacks that only happened a few times to me. The music was nice and fitting too!
