First impression? The artwork is gorgeous, I love the animations, the SMOOTHNESS in combat!!
Also, the creativity to make the projectiles literally loop through the screen, I've never even thought about it!
I loved every minute of it, good jobb!!

WhiskerlightMost fun I have had with the games I played in the jam. At the end I jsut stood slightly of screen and wiggle so all the enemys are confused and dance. Than wait for the perfact moment to hit the special and than boom all dead haha. Great Game!

Life StepsOOOoo, those special attacks feel good, great gameplay, super satisfying, really, really love arrows and spear throwing + boomerangs going across the arena, feels so cool to shoot 2 flying enemies, miss the third, but the arrow loops back through the arena and hits it, so stylish, good music too! Bet a devil may cry combo meter would work great + more explosions and stuff, the spear throw is just so cool! Great game!

Wheel of SeasonsLove this game, the gameplay loop is very satisfying and the mechanic of weapons looping around the map is marvelously done. I always loved picking up the boomerang and tossing it off screen to have it loop back and clear out an entire horde of ground enemies (there's so much tech I could pull off with this too it was fantastic). Movement is largely well tuned though I think I would've liked to see snappier and faster vertical mobility. Game is exceptionally well polished too from little things like the loading screen to just how smooth everything is with the weapons and even the player wrapping around. Balance leaves something to be desired as after a while I just feel immortal. Even as the number of enemies grew larger I never felt particularly pressured.
Overall, great job! And congrats on finishing this jam :)

Snap The LineThis gives off big Towerfall vibes with how the fights are and the looped level! The animations feel pretty satisfying too - one complaint I have is with the jumping and collision - they feel floaty, and nailing that is essential for platformers. But this is a good base to build off, plenty can be added. Good stuff!

Chicken Processing UnitThat’s an epic game! The chaotic fights & special attacks were so satisfying. I really wished there were more levels and progression, but considering it’s a game jam submission, it’s very impressive! I would suggest adding some chaotic elements like multi-kill combos UI effects, rage mode…

The HomeworkThe fast-paced fighting was fantastic! The enemies were well designed, and for some reason I feel like I'm fighting the necromancer from castle crashers. Well done!

[ONLINE MULTIPLAYER] Cube RoyaleGreat vibe and gameplay! Bashing mobs is really fun and makes me want to keep playing! Hope a more flesh-out version is planned because it can be something really cool!

Until The Next LoopSurprising amount of weapon variety and polish for such a short amount of time.

Mobius DerbyThis is a pretty fun game, I like the mechanics of the weapons that come back to you, though I couldn't really figure out how the javelin throwing worked, I just pressed things until it happened each time haha. Soundtrack works well, but I feel it's definitely a bit too easy to not die, since the ground enemies can't get to the platforms and the flying enemies die in one hit. You also pick up weapons when your boomerang is mid air, so you lose the boomerang, which can be frustrating if you want to use the boomerang for any amount of time.
Might I ask what weapon you are referring to as javelin? We will definitely upscale the difficulty thanks on the feedback.
Edit: I figured out what you mean by javelin and it's a melee weapon (LMB), it has a special attack that makes it a projectile that explodes (RMB),We will try to deliver this information to the player easier in the future.
