Fingers of Fate by JakerDevs

[raw]
made by JakerDevs for Ludum Dare 56 (JAM)

Fingers of Fate is a game where you play as a 6-fingered hand killing tiny-limb creatures. You start with one finger and you can buy more fingers (abilities) with "Fingerspoil" (the game's currency). In this endless-wave, "vampire survivor"-like you try and see how long you last before the tiny creatures inevitably bring you to your fate. Do you have what it takes to take on these tiny creatures in "Hand to Hand" Combat?

Really interesting idea! (The AI generated cover is kinda bothersome though)

The fingers idea is fun ! I would love to be able to pick each finger in any order tho, and the hiboxes are pretty clunky...

Loving the art and the whole concept! Finally, a game where you can actually pay for healing
I got hooked and made it through 10 waves. But it's so frustrating when the hearts disappear while you're trying to dodge enemies :(

Really good idea - I saw a youtube video from JDH the other day where he's experimenting with a similar style of adding fingers for different abilities, so it's fun to play something like that.

You've done well. Hitboxes were a bit hit and miss, but other than that you knocked it out. Good work!

Cool concept! I liked the moody, spooky theme. I made it through a few waves before getting trounced lol! Great job!!

I love the environmental art, which shows the concept of dark and gloomy! Also the attack feels so juicy!
