Ok so the game looks nice but is lacking some sound effects. 

I think the time to charge is too long and you spend too much time waiting.

A skip for the text would be nice. Also half the time the text stops half way through and starts the next one.

Other than those issues it is fun to play but I got impatient waiting for the text to go away so i can play. Sorry.

Developer

Yeah, I realized that was a problem. I'm planning to make a full version of the game once the Jam is over, and I want to improve a lot of things. Also, the charging time is actually an upgrade you can get in the shop — it can be made faster. Thanks for your honesty!

Great game, I realy enjoyed the graphics.

Nice game! liked the graphics and soundtrack and the axe throwing mechanic!

Developer

Thank you! For some reason, my brain got stuck on the idea of a boomerang axe. It was originally going to be a boomerang by default, but I decided to turn it into an upgrade instead!

I really liked the art and music :3

Developer(+1)

Thanks! I made the art, and my brother did the tutorial and the music for the first level!

Submitted(+1)

If mario was an axe murderer. Impressive work and character design.

Developer

Thanks! Really appreciate it!

Very nice game!

I really enjoyed the first part, it felt like a pretty chill and upbeat happy colorfull game, than it changed completly after the survival mode started. Felt like a totaly diferent game

Developer

Thanks for your feedback! Even if I don’t win any prize, at least I know there are people who enjoyed the game — and that already means a lot!
Thanks again!

simple well polished I enjoyed it. Great work

Developer

Thank you! It took a lot out of me.

Submitted(+1)

Was a nice game, just need some polish and a tutorial that you can skip, or make it faster... good game. Make it real material

Developer(+1)

Thank you! :)
As I mentioned in another comment, once the Jam ends, I’m planning to add more content and polish the game — maybe even post it on gd.games or other platforms.
What do you think about that?

Go for it

Fun 3/5

The Axe was hard to use!

Audio 4/5

I wish there were an Axe throw sound

Graphics 4/5

Great, I love pixel art (as you can see by my own game), but there were quite a bit of mixels in there.

Originality 4/5

It would have been just another wave defense game if not for the axe!

Theme 2/5

My character got hurt by a boomerang axe! Not OP. 

Developer

Something I forgot to mention — if you press the Left Mouse Button while the axe is close to you, you'll recover the health you stole from the last enemy it hit! My bad

Submitted

Oh, that makes sense, why I kept dying.

Developer

Yeah, I forgot and didn’t have time to add a tutorial for it :(

Developer

You can buy an upgrade to make the axe throw charge faster. The "Spiral" upgrade feels really OP to me.
But anyway, thanks for the feedback! When the jam ends, I’m planning to add a bunch of stuff — like bosses, new enemies, and maybe more upgrades too!

Developer

Fun fact: The sound of the throwing axe actually changes based on how hard you throw it!
The longer you charge it, the louder the sound will be!

Submitted

Makes sense. I guessed I never noticed it

Submitted(+1)

Very good, the art is really good, and it was well polished.

Developer

Thanks for checking it out!

game cool

Developer(+1)

you thanks

Submitted(+1)

This is cool, good art and controls. I only think it needs a way to skip through the text quicker! Nice effort!

Developer

Thanks! Yeah, i've spent too much time on the tutorial, but the game saves so you don't need to watch it everytime.

This game looks good. I don’t know if it has a problem that I should I tell but I did not found a problem at this game. The only thing I needed was the mobile controls. If you couldn’t add it or the time of the game jam has ended then don’t worry. This happens sometimes. But I think mobile controls make the game playable at phones. Because Smart phones like android are like handhelds that have no keyboard

Developer

Yeah, the time was over and because of a Power outage that happened in my town. I delivered the game way too late! Thanks for commenting!

I never add mobile to my games.  I find most pc games ported for mobile stink.  I would much rather have people play it the way I intended.
