I wish the wheel turn animation was faster so that I could fly through battles as the game became I bit monotonous. Pixel art and animations are on point. It would be cool if I could set my wheel slots or something to mod my character's actions. Imagine if this game had skills and spells that you could put in your wheel slots! It became frustrating to never get defense + when I was rolling for character growth--I was limited to 2 the entire game and this made defense+ worthless. Anyway, nice work and great level of polish."},{"author_name":"lucentbeam","author_uid":"25522","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 3:57pm","epoch":1450194720,"text":"Nice! Well executed and has some great polish. \r\rIt's an interesting mechanic, but I felt like it got stale a little quickly. There is almost always a "correct" choice - only occasionally, when both you and the enemy are getting a powerup, do you have to pause to consider your next action. I think small tweaks that would improve it would be to either make the roll button toggle a little 'power' minigame (so that the intensity of the roll was dependant on how you press\/release) or to let players press a button to try to stop the spinner early. Either of those would adhere to the theme and attach a stronger sense of agency to the gameplay."},{"author_name":"pokipsy","author_uid":"56863","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 3:58pm","epoch":1450194780,"text":"Loved it !

Not sure how long the game is but after I killed the rat king it start to slow right down. I think the game needs something else for the user to do — as spinning\/keeping the wheel is just too close to what you might get if you just watched it as a simulation. Maybe an item shop in the upgrade levels? Maybe have the monsters drop items too? Something like that would bring the replayability right up."},{"author_name":"architect404","author_uid":"55680","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 7:26pm","epoch":1450207260,"text":"nice game! cool concept, well executed and great art.

Those pixels look nice, too. Gameplay feels a bit slow, and the random element has perhaps too much weight, but in general it's a nice game."},{"author_name":"sydan","author_uid":"50347","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 10:00pm","epoch":1450216500,"text":"The mechanics in this game are awesome.

The upgrades you get outscale the difficulty pretty hard. I had fights where 7 attack rats were trying to peirce my 20 armor.
