A truly grueling tale about the crushing life of an office worker. Probably one of the most serious games in the jam. (though the fact you can spam the slo-mo forever make it kinda easy)
Creative little platformer! We found the controls really difficult (though that could just be because we're used to playing platformers on controller) maybe if you moved the grapple to mouse click it would feel more balanced. Also, being able to change spin direction would be really helpful in some parts. Really impressive stuff for a jam game though!
This is a pretty good recreation of Luck be a Landlord to have been made in only a week! That being said, I think in the future you should try to come up with your own idea or at least put your own spin (hah) on the game. Great job though!
Great job for a first game! Admittedly it does have little replayability for a rougelike (simply because it only has the one event and all enemies feel the same), but the main mechanic is super clever!
Um. So we may have played for an hour. We don't know what you guys did but this is truly so SO addicting. Our only gripes are minor quality of life things for really really late game runs that are definitely beyond the scope of a jam game. We would be super excited to see this game developed further if you wanted to.
Thank you for all the compliments, although I'm not sure what you're talking about? When we run the game the player board is black like it's supposed to be during the first level. Admittedly it is kinda confusing that your board is on the right during the minigame but on the left during scoring :3
Interesting idea, but the text scrolling and not having a way to speed it up without skipping it just kill the pace of the game to us. We do like the silly vibe tho
Really cool little game! I will say that I agree with other commenters that it can be a little hard to tell what's happening and what is damaging the enemy and what's damaging you. Still, this is incredibly impressive for having a major development issue.
Actually legitimately a banger game. That you made this in a week is insane to us. PLEASE keep working on this, this is peak. We didn't mind the random spin of the chamber, and actually think that it adds to the game, and really encourages you to work on keeping your blood bullet count low. That being said, the final boss loading 3 blood bullets into your gun when getting hit with a single attack is kinda cheap, so maybe tweak that.
SO creative! I love how the light is both the main obstacle and your main weapon against enemies! It makes using it and working around it really interesting! I think if you made some more mechanics and polished this up it would make for a really fun little puzzle platformer!
It can be a bit tricky to get up there. Our advice would be to use the time at the beginning to mash all the way up and work your way down. Thanks for the compliment on the scoring animation though! We spent a lot of time on it :3
Yeah, we've also always gotten the number we wanted, but our playtesters didn't, and we figured it was just because we made the game so eh. thanks for the compliments though :3
Yeah, we tried our best to spell out the objective in the opening letter, but I think expecting everyone to read that massive block of text is probably asking too much. Thanks for the compliments though! :3
Neat little game, and very serious commentary on the random nature of inheritance. However, the game could probably use some more balancing. When we got to the second funeral there were only enough spins for us to have one turn, and the wheel didn't have enough money on it to get us to the next stake. Really creative concept though.
Neat little game, very fun and creative subversion of the theme! Didn't see the "amount eaten" bar in the second level going down, but other than that, the game worked great!
Such an addictive little game! We generally try to offer constructive criticism, but we legitimately cannot think of anything bad about the game. It's a little short? the upgrades are a little simple? Both are extremely reasonable things for a game jam game, amazing job!
Kind of a neat idea, but it isn't really balanced and we can't get past the first wave. With a bit more time in the oven, it could be something pretty fun.
The game looks really good, but the gameplay feels really random and difficult to win. Because the table spins every turn, it's really hard to keep track of the information you gather.
Accidently played this for like 30 minutes, so addictive for such a simple game. Our only problem with it is that it can be very difficult to get upgrades late in the game, but overall so so fun.
This is a really creative concept and take on the theme, but it is kinda frustrating having to make a call on a subjective metric. It mostly feels like random guessing, which makes the player feel like they have little agency.
Pretty fun to begin with, but because buying cheats from the store is limited, in order to get to the higher bet amounts you do need to legitimately gamble in order to make the higher debts. Overall pretty good, especially the visuals, but the gameplay could use some more balancing to make it more skill based.
Very creative and very stupid, hats off to you trolls. That being said, it is a little confusing when it stops loading (trying not to spoil but also we did need to look at the comments to realize so :shrug:)
