I think this is a great start! The simple visuals are cute, and it felt pretty good to play! I think that if you ever came back to this, adding more weapons or powerups or some other clear indication of progression would make the game feel even more satisfying. Great work!!
Great foundation!
Including the death as a mechanic could have elevated this game to something a little bit more different from the Vampire survivors.
But it was fun!
Loved it! great brotato base for a full game. Good job!
Pretty fun game! Didn't feel like it was progressing anywhere. Just kind of felt like the same the entire time. Cool idea though
Very good actually :) Like it.
Pretty chill and fun game, doesn't seem to get much harder after a while, but i like the variety of the contracts, good job!
This game is super fun! The art is very cute, and I had a lot of fun with the goals of the contracts! The only problem I have is wrist pain, lol. Amazing work!
I love this type of games, but rarely do I see the exact thing you did here - conditional goals! Really like the idea, would definitely play the expanded version of this!
Really solid game, as far as i could see i experienced no bugs which is an achievement in itself!! I think a faster player movement speed would help add an extra dynamic to this game. But overall i really enjoyed it and managed 328kills, tried a champion contract died instantly......
Decent game but the lack of any weapon variety can make progression feel a bit stunted. Still pretty fun though!
Good work, definitely enjoyable, although could do with some attack variety or power ups, but thats for V2 right? I did have fun playing!
Nice Game. Good job.
Fun little game where a skeleton kills flying burning skulls.
Friendly fire aside, the game is either too easy or too hard at times, what i mean is the main character has nothing stopping him except when you accidentally walk into a enemy or boss projectile and instantly die (though that may be my skill issue).
But still a nice little game nonetheless.
I felt famous the entire time! Whole groups of eyes formed fanclubs. Jokes aside, the game was pretty fun! I would have liked to be slightly faster though.
Very fun survivors-like! With some sound effects, it would stand out a ton, keep up the good work!
It would mean a lot if you could rate my game too! https://fernando-ferreira.itch.io/death
Fun little bullet heaven game, I got some nasty RNG on the first several tries, each one was the boss which instant killed me each time. But I got some better contracts and got a lot further in. Definitely would like to see this expanded upon with multiple contracts with their own reward types for things like DPS/Health etc
If you've ever wondered what Its like to train call of duty zombies but in 2D then its Deaths Contract.
549 Kills, 1 Boss Killed, 4 Completed Contracts. Its probably not my cuppa tea for games In general but I did enjoy it! It was... moreish!
I love survivor games, so this one scratched that itch. I would love to see more upgrades though! Eventually the mobs become a bit overwhelming :)
pretty cute game! i like the aesthetic and artstyle. plus top down arena shooters have a special place in my heart
This is cute. It reminds me a lot of Journey of the Prairie King from Stardew Valley. I'd love to see weapon upgrades or player upgrades implemented, like a sprint or stronger weapons.
For being done in 5 days, I really like this. Nice variety of art on the sprites too!
