Nice game! I think that the upgrades are a little pricey, so the grind is super real, and variation in enemies could be sick. This was really fun to play and the presentation was nice!

Really nice game i loved everything about it loved the menu design also loved the art loved the red slash attack also the sound effects were on point the gameplay was really nice too implementing a hitstop and a screen shake when getting hit and killing a soul was nice really great job although the game lacked a bit of sound effects like when the player attacks or like when the enemy shoots projectiles but overall really fun game loved it.
if you dont mind you can also give my game a shot im sure you are going to love it.

Really really fun! I'll defnietly come back to this later to grind some more. Slowmotion on kill is always appreciated. With some new enemy types and maybe like a combo meter I can imagine this being even better. But this is amazing! Oh and attack animation goes hard.

I must compliment the game further by saying part of the reason I found it so addictive is that this is basically just 2D Quake, I'm strafing bullets while clicking the vague direction of the enemies. also known as the best gameplay loop possible by the least amount of commitiment i love this entry so much

One of my favorites of the jam so far, very fun gameplay loop and I love the visuals! Every use of color with the limited palette pops really nicely, and use of slowdown really helps give players a satisfying feedback to their actions.
I do wish the camera was a bit more zoomed out, because I feel like bullets can come a bit too quickly with not a lot of time to react especially in the later levels with more enemies.
But, great game, I'd love to see it expanded on if you continue with it. I got to level 16 and I'll probably play a bit more even after the jam :]

The fighting feels really good and leveling up is satisfying. The art in the menu looks great, though in the game itself it's a bit simple in contrast to the slashing animation. It could use a bit more enemy variety and the enemies can stun lock you if multiple shots hit you one after the other. The upgrades are a bit expensive, though with more content they should fit nicely.
This is probably one of the better games I have played yet in this game jam. I think I reached level 13.

The Slash looks amazing! The gameloop is clear. And I like the minimalistic color palette choice!
Few suggestions tho:
- Swapping HP bar with XP bar - Health is a more important resource and at first I was confused what is what
- Make the game faster at the begining - lower the price of first few upgrades, lower the hp of the enemies on early stages
- Player's sprite is visible for 100% of the game - you should give it a little more love, meaning it should look a little better/ be animated (Like Slash)
Other than that, working roguelite in a gamejam is an amazing achievement.
Good job!

WingIt!Thank you! I was going for a semi-monochrome style, you can find the slash animation in the description!
1. noted, the HP has a pretty common position but I can agree with the XP Part, especially if you didn't even know that you can collect XP, finding a better place for the postion and scaling is something I would go for, thanks!
2. making the early more comfortable is on my list!
3. I would really love to! I'm not that comfortable with working sprites, I like doing Illustration in pixel art style like the two artworks I did, but something I would like going for too!
Thank you so much for playing!

Needs a projectile weapon (jesus christ I need to play other jam games but I was so addicted to this game got fully caught up by its simple loop and its feedback and the grind and design of the protagonist, a fully featured more polished version with more of the protagonist visual is not something I would like to see its something I FEAR for my productivity)
Submitted
OutBound Shoveli'm happy to hear someone likes my game so much!
But adding a projectile weapon kills the meaning of the Title "Meele only" ;)
I'm planning having actual skills, maybe like a slash forward as a skill would serve you well!
working on the game would mean working on the protagonist, so there would sure be more of her ;)
Very fun gameplay loop, the visual effects are amazing. It does get a little frustrating when you get caught in the crossfire and cant dodge out of it, effectively being stunlocked, but that might be a skill issue on my part. Caught myself restarting again and again, so the fun is definitely there. Others pointed out lack of minimap or target tracker, that would be a nice addition after game jam. Also, don't know if there are more enemy types, cause I did not get past stage 4, they would be a nice addition. Overall it is an astonishingly well made game done in just 10 days, with a really engaging gameplay, .

I loved the concept; it was very well done and fits the theme pretty well. I'm no good at games like this, so I didn't get very far, but it seems like it would be very entertaining for someone who likes this type of game! Excellent work!
