Love the atmosphere and the idea, interesting take on darts game, but Pharaoh is on different level

Submitted

I think Pharaoh is cheating, lmao.

Very fun version of darts! I lost to the pharaoh on my first run so I stacked the power ups for the rematch.

I love the game play so much; i enjoy battling the beasts in darts. Monster designs were absolute peak. My only criticism is at the end it was getting annoying with the spinning wheel and at points felt unfair. otherwise awesome experience

Submitted

Game was really cool, I felt the blocking abilities the enemies had were a bit unfair but overall very fun

Host

A really good interpretation of darts, enemy blockers are really creative and the trinkets are interesting and helpful. Art style is amazing too. I do think that the rotating dart board is the hardest modifier lol. I like the game, more could have been done with the world the player is in tho, with the setting, like little crowd quips etc. I also don't see the theme implemented as well. Overall nice twist with well made core mechanics, good job!

I liked how the creature blocks the dart, nice twist to standard darts haha, great job on this

Throwing the darts and having to deal with all the bullshit the different enemies keep throwing at you made the gameplay really satisfying. When I first played I accidentally ended up on an endless loop after not following the refresh advice and got confused when I had to play the infinipede for the third time lol.

The trinkets were an interesting touch, and I probably wold have found the last level unfair had I not had access to the freeze ability. I feel like that one is OP for winning against the pharoh!

The art is also awesome, I'm overall really impressed with the animations, portraits and effects. They hit the tone superbly.

The art is sick! all the character designs were so cool!
I was so confident I was going to win until the third challenger.

The game is fun, and I think the roguelike mechanic fits a darts game really well. It's interesting that each character has a different skill set and that the difficulty scales with the run

Submitted

sick art was great atmo was too good job

Really fun weird eldritch darts roguelike! loved the items, the game was exceptionally fun, you did a wonderful job designing it!
If i have critique, the game doesn't really play with the theme of decay much, and you never explained the rules of darts, which is pretty integral to your design.

Otherwise, quite stellar design, great job! c:
