Super cool that it shares user made characters with other players! Kind of hard to tell what's going on, I wasn't able to get a single enemy down over 2 runs :(
The player skin editor is a nice touch

awesome! i love that you can draw your own character! very impressive for 48 hours!

I also like the character customization AND the connection with other player characters. I wonder how deep it runs or is it visual only? It's fun to watch the teams clashing.

Personally I would tone down the character outlines a bit.

Good job!

@coderaurus I upload every time you leave the shop. So the opponents you face are the teams that other players build in the same circle of hell.

Btw, I will probably migrate this game from a compo to a jam. I'm not happy with the cards in the game, that I created in a hurry and sleep deprived. I think it'll be better with a new set of cards with a more clear identity.

Wow, a really solid game! The atmosphere is great, I love the fact that you can customize your character, and the automatic combat mechanic combined with skills made the game surprisingly deep! Great job!

The character customization mechanics are a banger

IN 3 DAYS??? Incredible stuff, everything is so polished, not to mention the online interaction aspect... Im bad at it though. My guy is going to get killed for all eternity because of how much my 3 different builds sucked lol

I loved the character builder! The game was really fun, I would like a mechanic to reroll cards. Another suggestion is to ghave some resource to spend on power ups ex rarer cards, more people. Of course this is a game jam and those might be too much to ask but if you continue working on it (you should these would be great)

Doing pixel art in a game? Awesome! Very hard because you face other player teams, so it gets to a 50/50 chance of winning in the end, once you figure out the combinations that work. But it's still very fun.

Probably my favorite game in this jam so far! Fantastic idea and great execution, with a lot of personality. I was drawn in by the swearing italians and online aspects but I stayed for the battle strategies. I think I tried it 3 or 4 separate times so if you encounter a bunch of Feors running around down there, you know why! Only managed to make it to battle 8 so far because my builds haven't been working out, but I definitely want to try this again and get to the 9th circle. Great job.

Interesting game and really like the little touches like custom skins! The gameplay was a bit confusing at first but figured it out and had some good fun!

I loved this lol, the way the characters pose and hurl insults at each other while fighting will never not be funny to me. My character 'godpng' made it to Wrath before we got wiped out by zoot. Looks like the healing builds are the way to go!

Really fun game and genuinely so impressive.

Really good game idea, it a good spin on card games but with a lot of humor and an excellent usage of the theme. That was some crazy work on the character customization and the ability to share characters with other teams!
Excellent game idea, overall!

Some really unique ideas here! I spent way too much time on character creation, but I love that the game shows you other players characters as enemies / teammates. Awesome stuff.

Very unique feel to all of this. The gameplay is pretty heavy on number crunching and cause-effect is too difficult to trace.. Get rid of all the numbers in the game!

@oddmes that's an interesting insight an suggestion - I'm gonna mull over that one.

I'm addicted.

Definitely one of the top games I've played so far! I love the idea with the chraracter creation and getting a party of other people's chars. The gameplay feels a bit harsh but just the right amount of harsh, so that the player can learn to strategize and get a hang of the mechanics, what works well together and what's not.


Really great, solid entry! Good job! :smile:

Very nice entry! I spent already a lot of time customizing my character. Great feature =).

Really cool combat with the guys insulting each-other xD + the character creator was a nice addition!

Incredible amount of work you did in 3 days, congrats!

This is actually insane! :dizzy_face: The character customization and the multiplayer aspect is absolutely nuts for a jam game.

The combat is awesome, and figuring out the best combos is really fun. It's great that you can check the opponent's builds so you can get some ideas in the beginning. The only suggestion I have is maybe there should be a timer for the battle, or some way to detect a stalemate. My full-healer team went against another full-healer team and the battle actually never ended. Neither side was able to dish enough damage to overcome the healing. :grin:

Takes some time to get used to it, as it's hard to see what's going on in the combat at times, so that you could pick stuff according to it or just enjoy the combat, maybe some icons miminal could help, not sure. Overall very solid game-play and marvelous aesthetics, jolly good work!

@juutis oh No! That situation was my fear! I probably should've created some sort of sudden death.

Glad you enjoyed the game though!

Love it, feels really good when you finally get a combo that works.

One thing I noticed is that you used the Alagard font (great pick btw, perfect match for the mood of the game). Not sure how relevant it is but I've ran into issues when using fonts without crediting them before so I'd just make a note somewhere about that.

@wisch thank you very much for the heads up!

I was totally not prepared for this kind of game, but it was fun! And hard. But still fun. Made it to the last depth, but it was not easy at all. Good job!

HAHAHA!

I loved the insult battle. It really is a very original idea.

The "customize" mode is a plus for your idea.

Congratulations!

Really cool and original! Love the skin editor and that the created characters get shared between players! The gameplay is funny but could be a bit more engaging, the ability variety could be a bit better too.

But overall a really fun and cool game, good job!

Haha very funny game idea xD I wonder how you come up with that. I assume the voice overs were done by yourself?

@grid96 ye, voice over is me listening to Google translator pronounce the words and my best attempts on mimicking the sounds. :D

I loved almost everything about this game. My only issue was that some abilities would get a bit convoluted, and it wasn't really possible to track how effective they've proven in combat. On the other hand, I didn't mind taking a bit more vibes-based approach to strategy.

Audio is perfect ^^
