A relatively difficult game at first but gets really easy toward the end — still, a nice game! Congrats!

If you have a moment, I’d love if you could check out mine too! Play it here: https://kaijota.itch.io/graverun

the game is very grindy, but there's no other way with this idea. The start is very slow, but once the throw is unlocked, everything becomes very trivial. Nevertheless, it's not bad. Please rate our game

Fun game, combat was a pain but it was good

I legitamately thought that the sword was something else in the game cover. It definitely caught my eye. The characters looked really clean! My only real complaint is that the game feels a little sluggish. It's also difficult to get hits in on the character.

Haha, I kept dying. I wasn't sure what I was meant to do bringing fists to a sword fight. Tried punching them, dashing into them, over them. Anyway, good job making this game for the game jam!

Developer

Thank you for giving it a try! In this game you're supposed to die and use upgrades to make your short existence more "profitable". I do understand your confusion and would have added a tutorial if I had more time.

Good job! The game could use some improvement. Mostly just nerfing the enemy, since he’s really overpowered. Other than that, it’s great. Nice work!

Thank you! I agree, the enemy and combat system could use some adjustments.

A cool little game and easy to understand. Took me a while to win because it very difficult but good job!
