A favorite so far! Our team had a really similar idea in brainstorming (wheel + mythology) and I was really excited seeing someone go with it. Great style and unique combat mechanic.

Submitted

I like the combination of the loop and the wheel of forture (also a loop).
One connects really nicely to the story, the other to the gameplay.
This is also one of the few games where I didn't turn down the sound after a few seconds, well done!

Overall a really solid concept!

Developer

Our awesome sound designer Gin will be glad to hear that haha :D 
Thanks for the feedback :) 

Submitted

Really liked this one! I am a bit biased though, I do like picking one of three things...


The art is fantastic too, really enjoyed the whole vibe, I bet there's a ton you could build on with that wheel spinning mechanic! More wheels, more runes... It would also be cool if the enemies had their own wheel that you could see, with their different attacks and abilities on it so you had some idea what was coming next! Great marks all around from me.

If you  want to try some more 1-of-3 fun we also made a roguelike, so would love if you tried it out and gave us your feedback! 

Developer

Thanks for the awesome feedback! Glad we could scratch your itch :D I'll be trying out your game next!

Nice and Smooth animations. loved it. Has a lot of potential for sure. Congrats for the accomplishment

Also would love to receive your feedback about my game too ^^

Thank you very much, glad to read. <3
Yep played your game - very nice puzzler <3

Submitted

Cool idea! We also thought something about Jormungander but didnt get to a proper idea, i like this take and the concept of wheel-building is really interesting

Developer

Thank you <3 Funny because our team had your idea of  The Cube (Franzi and I like the horror film), but didnt known how to turn it to a game with 2D. Nice how it turned out for our teams xD

Submitted(+1)

Yeah what a coincidence hahahaha

Submitted

Nice idea and art style! I found that maxing out the healing and high damage runes was best. It would be cool to see more types of runes and enemies.

Developer(+1)

Awesome feedback, thank you <3 Yes we had more runes also for the gods but they didnt make it into the game because of the time >.< and we have also a list of enemies xD one of those is a squirrel :D

This game is one of the best entry I tried. As the creative guy of my team, I really loved the art direction and the UI. The atmosphere was great and it was simple to understand your mechanics. Thank you for this moment of fun. You did a great job on it!

Quite fun, the art and music were great and with a bit more power variety I could see this being a real gem.

Developer

By far the best game I’ve played in this Jam. It’s a shame that I can not give more than 5 stars per criteria.

Developer

Aww you \ÖwÖ/ that is so very nice to read <3 
Your project was also nice to play and looks very nice ~

10/10 game! Very unique in this jam, so bonus points for that. 

Developer

Thank you very much <3

Very creative take on the theme, well polished, and well executed. Excited to see how this concept could be expanded on and what synergies you guys could come up with.

It seems to be an iteration on a deck builder. My one critique of the game is that with deck builders, you know you'll eventually draw the card you need, or use the cards in your hand and adapt it to the situation. With this game, you can keep hitting the same unneeded rune over and over again because it doesn't go into a discard pile or something. I feel like I didn't have as much control over which rune I was hitting. Maybe it was a timing/skill issue.

Developer

Very nice point you have, thank you for the feedback.  We had in mind for later to give the player the possibility to adjust the runes but it was a heavy coding and design part we had to cut. For the future iterations we will keep it in mind, thank you <3

One of my favourite pieces of work! I do think the game would work better with turns though, since spamclicking makes it way too easy to cheat.

Developer(+1)

Iinteresting take on the turns, thank you for your feedback <3 Glad you enjoyed the game \^O^/

Submitted(+1)

It looks and feels absolutely polished. How did you manage to do it in such a short time? Very cute!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing <3 We had to  cut down our overscope in the middle of developement to finish in time xD 

For my part in art I choose an art-style which is not too simple and not too complex where I can produce lot of assets in short time. Reuse stuff. And here we are xD seems it worked out <3 

Submitted(+1)

I love the art. I think one problem with the gameplay is you have blocks, but its very hard to see when an enemy is about to attack (small bar on the right side of the screen) so if you want to time a block, you have to dart your eyes between the moving wheel and the attack bar which is difficult. in addition, its never really worth it to block anyway, because you can just spend that time trying to wait for the enemy to attack by spamming the stop button and attacking. I think the concept is very interesting, the roguelike element is well executed, and I look forward to seeing what you do with it in the future.

Developer

Thanks for the very in-depth feedback. You raise valid points, but we are glad you liked it even despite the little flaws in the design :)
