I liked the game, the hit feels good when you kill, and leveling up my character is my weakness. :) It was hard for me to deal damage in close combat sometimes. Good job!

Submitted

I have never felt so powerful in my entire life. It’s a good thing you didn’t give me 2 swords, or they would have had to send the military. 10/10 would monkey with sword again. Also please bring it to steam.

Thanks for playing and streaming it(: it was fun to see your reaction to different parts of the game.

Submitted

I liked the way that you used a sort of ragdoll physics mechanic to make the player wield the sword. It a bit more active than a lot of other games of this type. I actually found myself playing for much longer than I expected. Well done

Developer

Thanks for playing(:

Submitted

Nice game. It is a different mechanic that could take some getting used to, but surprisingly fun when you do. 

Developer

Yeah I like games that use physics in movement(: Thank you!

Submitted

Really fun! I love vampire survivor-like games and this one was really simple and addicting! The fun art and music really help too, great work!

Developer

Thanks for playing(:

Submitted

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

very nice mechanics and very nice game , just need a tiny bit of polish around the edges like adding a retro ctr shader

Developer

Thank you(: Yeah I probably should have played into the retro theme a bit more.

Submitted

Nice bullet-hell type game, but it's really hard even at the first wave. Else very cool concept 

Developer

Yeah a lot of people are saying its difficult. When the jam ends I will make it a little easier(: Thanks for playing!

Submitted

I really like it, it is kind of addicting

Developer(+1)

Man this was amazing! I started playing and lost track of time for like an  hour, I really hope you continue this project after the game is done.

Developer

Thank you!  I will continue to try to make it a better game after the jam(:

Pretty fun game :) I actually like the art a lot, I think it looks quite goofy which is one of my favorite vibe :D The gameplay is quite amazing I can see that you put a lot of effort into polishing it :D. Overall, a pretty fantastic game

Developer

Thank you good job on your game as well(:

Submitted

Cool game! Enjoyable yet difficult (which I find more fun)

Developer

Thank you(:

Submitted

Nice level progression game, although its kind of difficult

Developer

Thank you for playing(:

Submitted

A very fun and satisfying game, could've added a bit more life to the background. 

Developer

Yeah I probably should have added some tress or something(: Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Swiping that sword on one hand, shooting with a cannon on the other, quite a normal day! Had a great Vampire Survivors vibe, the whole upgrades were fun, the enemy design as well. Really well executed, good job!

Developer

I was kind of shooting towards a vampire survivors clone(: Thank you!

Submitted

Had a lot of fun with this one. The upgrades were satisfying and the physics noodle-arms were always funny to watch. Glad to see I didn't make the only survivors-like for the jam haha, and great work!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Very funny game.

The physics and upgrades are super fun, and the look of the player and enemies adds a lot of grotesque charm. The stones that block the sword are a nice touch, and the chunky enemy doing clumsy dashes is the second to last cherry on top. The thing that really stole my heart and added the most fun was the upgrade that makes the ball bounce around the screen. Very creative take on the theme.

The upgrades motivate you to keep playing, and the introduction of new enemies does as well. I just wish the progression was a bit faster. There were moments when I was already getting bored and only then a new enemy appeared. I’d probably introduce all enemies one round earlier.

The visual side is where the game struggles the most. The player and enemies are fine, but the background feels boring and I wish more was happening there. What’s the road in the middle for? I was missing a car driving by that could potentially run you over.

It’s a cool idea that’s definitely worth expanding with new levels, new enemies, and more upgrades, though of course I know game jam time is limited.

One more piece of advice would be about presentation. I’d rework the screenshots, add some text, and try to make them more clickbaity. The idea itself is interesting, but nothing really hints at that on the game page. You don’t feel like clicking at first, but once you do, you’re positively surprised.

Solid work!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I will definitely be using this to make the game better.
