Plate of War by someoneman
The interdimensional Queen Buggo has launched an attack on Earth! Luckily, you have the Plate of War, an ancient dining plate that became cursed after it was used to serve and dine on the flesh of a powerful warrior king.
The Plate of War automatically loads itself up with weapons that automatically attack its master's enemies. Any weapon that falls off the plate merges with the holder, improving their attributes.
- Features:
- 5 types of weapons
- 1 type of enemy + a boss
- 6 minutes of gameplay
- Good source of dopamine
- Customize the player character's color
Patch: I checked the rules and saw that it allows bugfixes, so I fixed the boss not having enough HP.

It was a bit hard to control, with the movements feeling a bit slow, but I think you can easily fine-tune that.
The lore behind it was pretty cool, making the mechanic interesting, however it was a bit hard to get the items on the plate.
I admit that this is not my usual kind of game, but that I loved the silly cute art and sound effects, so it makes up in that! I'd be interested in seeing how you would expand the game. You already have different weapons and enemies, so maybe expanding on the story/lore would fit the genre.
The potential to add more is on the table, so keep up the good work!
