A good fun game! The Hermit caught me by surprise and killed me initially. Nice work.

Nice game here! Short but simple to understand. I really liked the player animations!

Fun little game. Felt very self explanatory. The Punch animation and screen shake made the attacks feel really impactful and fun.  I know the time was short but I would have loved a smoother progression line. Oh and an oraoraoraoraora sound :)

This is a really nice idea and its implementation to a certain degree fun. Next time try not to skip the sound since its half the rent. Got a good feeling of getting stronger. Well done! (4,2,5)

I tried it and the game froze... then I tried again and enjoyed it. Quite fun!

I enjoyed the art style and animations on this game. I like how at first its just dodging then the enemies come in giving it another layer to the experience.

Very cool! The punching is very satisfying in how it's animated. I don't know if you implemented sounds, but that would boost the satisfaction even more. I really liked this one, well done!

Thanks for playing! Didn't have time to add sound effects🥲 I got inspired a lot from JoJo.

This has the most important part in a game: being fun! Super tough though, couldn't get past the final boss even after 10 tries! (insane you had time to make an entire boss too XD) Great job!
