Hey, I'm not sure what I'm doing but the art and music are super nice! Consider adding some sound effects to give the user feedback :)

I am also not really sure what Im doing tbh, the game is very sexy though. If you are into these types of games im sure it would be very enjoyable.
Pushkin vs beasts. In our game we have similar idea of exploring. Fight system very interesting. Audio very atmospheric.
The game seems a bit broken, at least I haven't managed to use cards. But art and sound are brilliant, love what you did here!
Very nice atmosphere, I loved the graphics and the music!
The game idea itself is very nice. I like how one improves the dices after battle. I also like the card system.
I met a few bugs however: I died inexplicably (the game told me that it was because of lack of food or lack of health… however both were far above 0). I was able to get cards in exchange of gold, event with 0 gold.
Cool design. But game requires some tutorial. It takes some time before you understand basics of the game. Great concept tho. (but that artstyle reminds me loop hero)
I like the visuals, as well as the music. Despite the explanation, I feel like I did not fully understand the game though. I thought I understood the fighting mechanics, but sometimes it acted different to how I expected it, e.g. not dealing damage when I should've done more damage than the enemy healed / blocked.
The gameplay certainly seems interesting, though I'm not sure if it's my type.
I like the feel and atmosphere of the game. I wish there were sfx and animations to help show you whats happening. It took we a little while to figure out how to play, but once I figured it out I got pretty far before dying. Good job!
Looks amazing, a bit confused on the cards. The combat started making sense after a few plays. Really cool idea here!
Gorgeous but very confusing.
It is a cool concept and the gameplay is actually very well done for an LD entry. I would love to see this game playing in its full potentional. It would be really cool. The graphics and music are just unbelievable, so moody and it fits the game so well. Love these victorian vibes.
Was a bit confused at first, but otherwise very cool. Good job!
What an amazing game! First of all, I love your graphics and music. They provide a very nice atmosphere. Also, the combat system is very enjoyable. This alone would make for a great game, I believe! On the other hand, I didnt like the the exploration mechanic. I think it is designed to keep you busy for a longer time. I feel like that part gets a little boring. I think, if you had focused more on the combat mechanics, this could have been an easy 5-star review for me! Still, very solid entry!
Nice polished art style and audio, really set a mood. Cool concept with interesting mechanics. However, I do have some feedback on making the game less confusing. Would be great if there was some visual effect when villages gives you food, as it easily passes you by while playing, likewise when loosing health in battles. I am also generally not a fan of having icons as the only explanation, it's nice to have an accompanying label to describe what I am seeing - maybe some tooltips? The game panels looks great but could have used some title or info text of what they show to counter balance the visual weight of the GUI and guide the player of what is of importance, for example the tutorial and dice out-come panels. In whole a well made game, good job!
Love the character sprites!.
Wow, awesome. It looks like a game that I bought on Steam, and the similarity of the visual style to "Loop Hero" is only add points to it. If we close our eyes to bugs, of course. Something very interesting can really come out of this!
Amazing art with amazing music made for an amazing mood. There were more than a few bugs in the game though. Cards could be bought for 0 gold, damage dice with a number greater than 5 dealt damage to the player instead or would negate player armor, GPS or flares would occasionally report an XY of 0,0 even when the player was not standing on a balloon part, balloon parts in general were very inconsistent to the point where I was doubting myself on if I knew what they looked like, and the glasses and lens card effects worked differently than what the card stated. Dice also don't get cleared on death, which I'm not sure was a bug or feature, but it did mean you could easily "solve" combat by having one dice be all high block, and the other dice being mostly high attack with one high heal. I really wanted to finish this game as the atmosphere was great, but even with combat solved, I could never find all the balloon pieces due to the bugs and not really knowing what I was searching for. Glad I played this game as it has a HIGH amount of potential.
@wiredoverload https://twitter.com/dark_edges_game We have created a page to tell you about the news about the game. We plan to release it on Steam in a few months.
OMG! Excellent combination of mechanics!
Awesome art :heart:
Loved the mechanics of improving your dice edges as a reward for winning in battles. Also, cards make total sense :thumbsup:
A thing which is lacking is some clarity of dynamics, like what exactly happens on each movement step or battle action. Maybe some animations and effects could help to emphasis the game state change?
Anyway, it is the most gorgeous game I've seen so far on LD48 :heart_eyes:
Needs a tutorial and beter understanding of what's happening, but overall a very intriguing and promising entry. Wish you best in polishing and releasing this game!
So First I did not get it. But after I had found the Text on the left it was pretty clear to me. So the grafics are super cool. I love the hole Design aspect. The Musik is also cool, but some Soundeffects for the figths would be nice. Because I think there is some Feedback missing on thats happening, do to the fact that there is not a lot of visual feedback aswell. But overall nice
The art and audio are great! Well done on this entry!
