I DID read all that, but that's way too much for me to respond to, sorry. I knew about the pausing bug, and only ever got it once, while testing, I though it would never occur during this jam, since it's so rare, and I was right for a while, but apperantly it happened twice just today. I kinda didn't have a good way to fix it, and it's the only bug that persists even after loading a different scene.
As for the other things, I think mostly it's not a skill issue, dying to the greedy goblin, however ABSOLUTELY IS. I'm pretty sure you are the first person EVER to struggle on a goblin, at least everyone else I've heard from had asked me if I added them to make greed builds unnecessary, since they have terrible base stats with good defense, and drop a lot of shards. I added them for that exact reason, they're there to help the player, but I guess the defense should have been lowered, but I mostly ran damage builds in testing, so I didn't realise.
Thank you so much for taking the time to play, and give excessive feedback! Also, when I saw the followup comment, I almost threw my phone, haha.
I really don't understand what the shield is doing, and healing feels nigh-impossible, since your hp increases, but the healing is a flat amount, so you just end up losing hp when you heal... why? The shield felt entirely pointless to ugprade, as when you rolled it, nothing would happen. On my first run, killing 5-6 enemies, I didn't roll the crit a single time, I didn't even know it was an option until my second run, so the wheel doesn't feel very fair either. I really don't know how you can get father than like 7 enemies, since they scale WAY faster than you do, and there's not really much skill expression in the game as is.
I would have liked a lot more polish, and I didn't really enjoy the gameplay loop, since spinning makes aiming kinda hard, and you have to be pretty precise to actually hit something. It kinda doesn't feel like you have a goal, you just go outside and shoot things, and then come inside, to upgrade, but why? I don't even have a health bar to see how long I can stay out, I don't see how many scraps I'm getting from them, I don't even see when they're shooting at me, since the bullets are gray, and travelling kinda fast, while everything else is gray. Am I supposed to be able to dodge those bullets while spinning? I kind of agree with the last person that posted, that the scope should have been WAY smaller. It feels kind of rough to play as is.
I like the concept a lot. It took me like 5 minutes that I was supposed to max out the distance, and then go back to 0, maybe you could add an indication that that's the case, like fish biting, or a cast/reel animation or event, so that I know that I'm casting the line, and then reeling the fish in.
I don't really like incremental games, but this was kinda cool. I didn't complete it though, it felt too grindy, the last upgrade I got was +50 money per sec, if you're curious how far I got.
Oh, wow, I didn't expect someone to study the game so well. You're completely right on the pause button, I kinda knew someone was gonna unfortunately get got by that, my bad, but it was too late to fix. I'm surprised cave spiders were the toughest though. I usually tested with greed + sharpened edge, later adding precision drugs and opportunistic, maybe vampirism or flasks, so I was almost always just one tapping them. I guess with an attack-speed build like yours, high hp monsters are pretty rough.
Yeah, but it costs money to reroll doesn't it? I didn't have money, so I was kinda screwed. Tickets were worthless to me.
I had like a good 2nd round I think. I got like 60k gold I think, or something like that. I got really lucky, and that turned into like 500 tickets, and after that I just got more and more, because I couldn't spend them. I turned them into "YES"-es which was the most expensive one I could find, but eventually rerolling cost more than the upgrade would give me, so once again, I felt kinda powerless.
The story of midas. All the tickets in the world at my disposal, yet my only son, turnt to gold. Thus I too, like Midas, asked to rid myself of such power.
Truly a poetic experience.
