Cute game, reminded me of an old PS1 game called "overboard!" ^^ and good job for a first game, with different enemies etc! Only thing is, I don't understand why you accelerate with "s" and slow down with "w", that's really counter intuitive!
I will say the same as everyone else, this NEEDS a tutorial ^^ but it does look like a cool concept so I add it to a collection in case you keep developing it !
Pretty cool for a first game! The concept is neat, but (somewhat ironically) the issue for me was to get started, since it isn't intuitive how elements interact, it is hard to understand what's going on until you have read every description a couple times. I also had a black screen.
Simple and interesting puzzle concept, and good atmosphere. Maybe I am an idiot but for several minutes I assumed you could only put stars on the white dots on the circle ^^'
That's quite impressive for a first game! A few times the character just seemed to freeze for a few seconds, but other that is was pretty neatly done. Hope you will make more games!
That's a neat idea, but the mouse getting out of the frame feels a bit frustrating, I guess this could be easily corrected(?) if you continue developing this.
Thanks :-) yes I had to rush so the balance is off (it can also get too easy if at some point you get enough gold), I had some ideas to make RNG a bit less crucial (like giving an approximate location of where the object is going to spawn before you accept or deny it), but had not time :( anyway I might continue developing this one, I think it has potential. If you liked it you might like this game I made for a previous jam.
I agree with a previous comment that it's a bit hard to understand what's going on at first ^^ That's were a "tooltip" system would be really useful if you continue developing, and yeah I'm all for dice-based games!
I found the controls a bit too frustrating, sometimes I couldn't figure what was going on even after playing for a few minute. Once you get used to it, it does work, but I feel it could have been simpler. I did like the atmosphere and the game over "music" had me chuckle ^^
simple and charming story ^^ I don't understand why I won so easily though, I was doing like 5 times more damage - even though I couldn't get the ingredients correctly hehe
Unfortunately I have a terrible graphical bug (flickering grey patterns) that is too painful to continue playing, which is really sad because I did enjoy a lot how it looked and the atmosphere :(
Yes I thought about revealing the grid at the end - but I was a bit short on the deadline, and it wasn't coded well enough that I could add this feature in a few minutes ^^'
I realize this kind of fonts aren't too easy to read, so I tried to keep the text short - but I really wanted the text to look magical ^^ Anyway thanks for your comment !
Not sure Lovecraft would have endorsed this though, ha ha ^^ I agree with the previous comment that lower arrows are a bit confusing, but the concept sure is original.
I think it would have made more sense for your visibility to be actually limited, although everything is dark, you still can see enemies at any distance. Still the light effects are pleasing to the eye ^^
