You definitely understood the jam theme haha!
i wish there was more of a tutorial or a cut scene at the start, but it was still really fun. could def play more of this if it was longer
Nooo its soo soulcrushing to have your team wiped :'((
Great game loop - pun intended, and killer soundtrack
This is great! The fights are so quick that it's always tempting to go for one more loop. Loved the audio and the visual effects - everything felt very polished. Well done team, great work!
Very cute and surprisingly addictive game with a really strong interrogation of the theme . I could easily play a full game with this idea behind it . I do wish there was a slightly smoother difficulty curve between the fights in the loop and the boss fights (I was eventually at a point where I could very easily beat regular enemies but was still always losing one character to the boss fight, until I decided to say 'screw it' and just do an 10x loop ), but that's a nitpick more than anything and I suspect is probably heavily influenced by team comp. The polish is also super high -- Goblins are adorable, music is great -- and the speed up mechanic is an inspired inclusion. Team should be proud (:!
Yooo this is such a good game loop, spent like 30 minutes on it over leveling to beat the boss, finally beat it with 3 archers, a hammer goblin and a fast sword goblin. Also if you're a gambling enjoyer then repeating the loop until you almost get wiped is definitely the way to go.
the speedup button [S] helps a lot at 4x speed. Different team comps also allow for threshold of different approaches.
The game has a cool aesthetic and a polished look, but unfortunately, I didn’t find it very engaging. It mostly feels like I’m just clicking buttons without much depth.
Very cool game, love the clean minimalistic artstyle, it does remind of flash games, which is a plus for me, because I love them. Amazing having everything selfmade. Good job fellow goblin enjoyers.
Loved the game very creative but i hope there was tutorial
Fun game!
Fun game!
I like the concept, but I think the game loop itself could use some balancing. I found that just looping on the lowest level and buying upgrades at the smith, without taking any risks kind of trivialized the game. Nevertheless, the artwork is super well done and the sound crispy and well fitting. Great effort
Loved the game, got me really hooked, took some time but eventually managed to beat the boss. Great work
Yeah we devs tried a competition to see who could beat it fastest however 2 of us got bogged down and tried risking loop x6 and lost the race lol
This game is actually so enjoyable, I had so much fun playing it!! I got a little bored in the fights until I realised you can increase the speed oops
Thanks for playing. yes speed x3 is the way to go for sure, im way too impatient myself.
I really liked this game, I don't really have any negative feedback - it's polished and balanced pretty well.
Incredible game!
thanks for playing would love more feedback!
Love the upgrade mechanics! This reminds me of old-school flash games (in a good way!)
I really enjoyed it!
Loop hero on steroids ! Great job on the design and aesthetic, i felt a bit lost in the looping mechanic (like what is the interest of going to boss earlier ?) but it felt good !
Going to the boss mid loop allows you to check to see if your team can do it. You are not punished hard to try and fail at the boss. Which allows you to go back and invest more into the chest for more upgrades if your team failed.
Good job ! it's really fun , got defeated against the boss with a team of 5 recruits well trained, but I'm gonna take the challenge again later ! Pixel art is simple yet beautiful , and the game loop is engaging . 9.5/10
glad you liked it! Let us know what your team comp was when you beat it!!
Will do ! ^^
After many loops, I finally managed to kill the boss ! My team was 3 Thiefs (daggers) and 2 Bowmans . Thanks for making this incredible game ;)
I gotta try that run now.
