Really cool game! An interesting idea with an amazing execution.  Everything is really solid, definitely deserves the top spot!

Incredibly novel idea, I really don’t have much else to say I think it speaks for itself. Incredibly solid, I love the art / sound / theming of the whole thing, movement feels good, and I also loved the parallax menu at the start :)

Developer

Thank you so much for the feedback!

I thought I maybe spent too much time on this parallax but your comment confirm that it was worth it :)

I like gameplay loop, music and idea , like everything is cool, only thing to say I'd have liked is that if you would have added some kind of upgrades, like when lvl up ur mastery getting for example multi shot on ur bow/space or smth like that .
Although I really liked the fact that got diffrent type of play when reviving as diffrent monsters, for example when you revive as one of those fast goblins you are fast too, I really liked that.

Anyway very cool game, I hope you continue it even after game jam

Thank you very much for your feedback!
I agree with you and the others, the game lack in progression especially between the start and getting some powerups and I should add more content also but didn't have the time for the jam so I will try to  add it soon after.

I also like the goblin :) He was slower at the start of the project, I cranked up he's speed now he's a demon >:)

Oh btw I just realized I didn't quite understand but yes there is an upgrade for each weapons that buff all of your characters when you unlock a mastery but I will not spoil.

Cool game, cool music, cool graphics, cool idea, cool everything. I don't even know what to add. The game is interesting. It's fun to play and get stuck for 25-30 minutes.

This is such a cool game, it's a gem, well executed loop and this probably deserves to win this jam :D 

The only thing I wish I could have is some sense of progression not by just waves or kills, maybe extra abilities or more classes, something like that.

Super cool!

Thank you so much! This means a lot to me
And you're right I think I needed some more polish on my wave system and something to balance the difficulty a bit. My friends played it and really few of them made it to some masteries
