Nice gameplay.
The art was very cute, with the detailed ground (grass, trees, etc.)
The music was nice. However, the SFX were too loud.
Unfortunately, I didn't understand how the game follows the theme. Also, little problems like anti-aliasing or different font color made the game no 1-bit (I have found 10 different colors on the main menu).
Apart from that, a very good game.
Cute game, never expected to be scared of a cow with a sword!
The art is lovely, the sounds are a little jarring and repetetive, but the gameplay was quite fun!
Your text is ever so slightly miscolored from the rest of the assets and some weird blurring, but it's not a huge deal to me.
It’s nicely done and fun! I do not have the dexterity to get very far though. I love the sprites but it is a little hard to distinguish one thing from the next, would be interesting to see some variation in texture between dangerous and passive objects. Great choice of squeal when it dies :D
Wow! This is a perfect rage game, and the one-hit mechanic is so fun!
Once you get into the rhythm of it, it's pretty fun, but you die a lot at first.
It seems there's a configuration issue; the final version is showing as a download rather than browser-playable.
Not sure if I can still change that.
:C
I was allowed to change it after all C:
I really like the idea for the game, but it's very difficult. I would definitely recommend putting some controls in the description at least. I also think you could start the game off with less enemies around the player so that it's a bit less punishing to start.
Would be nice to include some input maps, the game may not be that attracting, but at least give your potential players an easier way experience your game.
Really nice the polishing was really nice I wish there was a tutorial, also the sfx were too loud so it misses some music and sound sliders, and it runed really bad for me on fps and crushed sometimes im not sure why maybe its my pc problem, and it wasnt 1bit it used 3 colors and not 2 colors. but overall it was fun seeing the enemies die, really nice game!
ok on the 3 colort, its maybe my problem cuz another game i see also has that problem please tell me
I had 3 colors too, the game over text was white, while background was black, and characters were red
EDIT : check my comment
hi i wasnt talking about that its a bug in my side dont worry about it
The lack of tutorial for this game really hurts it, I feel. I didn't know what I was doing half the time until I started experimenting, and the game doesn't reset for me after I die so I had to keep refreshing the page to try again. It seems like it would be fun but overall could use some quality of life features.
