The cut scenes were really cool! The gameplay was pretty fun and I really liked the inclusion of the rocks, although I was hoping for more variety as the game continued.

I like the art and the game mechanic! The sound and graphic effects are also pretty cool! Took me a while to realize that you need to carefully aim for the feet. Nice game overall!

Out of TimeWho knew fending off gnomes could be so stressful? I love the intro art as well :)

Catch Me If You ClankInteresting concept and charming art style. Chaining combos is satisfying AF.

This is Bobbasuper cool, would have never thought of that and the game feel was perfect. Took me a while to notice I could drag mouse to make it curve but thats on me, one of my favourite games so far.

WannaBe MonkeyGreat job! With very few art assets, you’ve managed to achieve such ajuicy feel, screen shake, particle effects, and the sound during combos. I never expected combos to feel this awesome. Well done, you’ve completely mastered the art of juiciness!

Fimbul‘s SpringYooo this is so good! Its great to see another survivers-like officianado thriving. Honestly, amazing tribute to the genre. You knocked it out of the park with this one man!

Under the Night of MareThis felt good to play! The root concept made me weigh up going for a big combo or killing the gnomes that were closer. Well done

Keep On DiggingReally interesting idea and the controls give the game a nice unique feel. It took me a bit to get used to how the roots move, especially when enemies get very close, but once it clicks it becomes fun to play around with. I think with some tuning and maybe more progression elements, this could turn into a really solid roguelike. Overall, nice work!

Abyss Signalloved the game, it felt very polished for the time frame! i think the hitboxes could be a bit more forgiving as it felt a bit frustrating when you miss an enemy that looks like it should be hit

DEEP SPACE HAZARD DUTYThis is a really cool game! I really like the art and the music, the SFX is also nice. I think they add well to the game feel. I did find it hard to control the tree roots at first cause sometimes when the gnome is super close to the tree and I click the gnome the tree branch doesn't exactly go there. Also maybe making the gnome hitbox just a bit bigger might be nice (but maybe it's just a skill issue from my side😅)
But I think if you worked on this more this could def turn out to be a great roguelike with upgrades and all in the future.
Overall it's a great game jam entry, good job :D

Coffee RunnerReally liked the control scheme. It adds a great spin on the horde shooter and made for some fun dynamic moments!
Great job :)
