Blade & Wheel
A downloadable game for Windows
Made in about a week for WHEELJAM, Blade & Wheel is my attempt to build a wheel-based mini-RPG. Progress your journey and battle enemies using a unique blend of puzzle and strategy!
This was a solo project. I did bend the rules of the jam a little bit by using some music I had made ahead of time, as well as my typical suite of helper scripts and some re-used sound effects.
Controls are mouse-only. Use F11 to toggle fullscreen and Escape to quit.

What a game. Started to question how could someone have done this in 1 week, then checked your profile and saw you did Sort the Court. Then it all made sense. Amazing work really <3
Loved the unique mechanic. It really adds a lot of depth
My only downside is that the wheel animation for treasures and encounter is too slow after seeing it too many times (at first the animation looks good, but the more you play the game the more it becomes "too slow")
Valid point, thanks for checking it out and for the feedback!
Absolutely fantastic. The art and music feel incredibly polished, and the wheel has an insane amount of depth and options available. S+ job!!!
Different.
The wheel mechanic was nicely done, it felt very fluid and responsive. I particularly liked the chance of encounter + treasure being displayed graphically.
Does the order of selection make any difference. I seem pretty locked in.
Thanks! The selection order does matter quite a bit, since the strength of each action you're choosing depends on how full that part of the wheel is at the moment.
