Insanely fun game, you can also break it completely by going Lust+15 which is kind of a fire long game strat
This was very addictive and hard. Very stylish and cool game. It feels very fleshed out and I’m not sure I have any suggestion for improvements. I don’t know if there’s any more twists and added complexities further down if you get to higher rounds. But I guess there would need to be something else too on a meta level if this would be expanded upon.
Great entry.

SO. SO COOL. i loved everything, from the grungy aesthetics, the enemy designs, the music, the gameplay. you guys really outdid yourself on this. the difficulty was also perfect, i managed to get to the final boss and immediately went for endless. i also loved how each enemy has its unique gimmicks and debuffs it applies to you! really amazing
Awesome art and visuals, simple and engaging gameplay that builds on itself as it progresses and a fun loop that makes you want to come back for more and keep playing to improve your highscore, fantastic! Great use of colour to provide striking visuals with monochrome sprites.
Super cool game! The visuals and music are stellar. The one button spinning gameplay is simple but pretty engaging with the different moves and counters you can do. Could see myself coming back to play more of this, especially if it's expanded. Incredible work!
*Obligatory Dead by Daylight comment*
But seriously, this rocks. Really fun with the spinning mechanic, and the way that different choices are laid out. To hit, or not to hit. What to scale into? If I can't time my hits for both an attack and a defend, what should I priortize?
Games like this that take a seemingly simple concept and add layers of complexity are some of my favourites. Well done!
Just when I think I can escape DBD it comes back for me LOLL. Seriously addictive game! Awesome visual style and use of colors in the whole game! Great scope for a week game jam! Super super awesome! Congrats!!
absolute banger, I played endless for 30 mins just to watch the Lust build win on autopilot:

Great game. I loved the art, but its also totally my style. Crazy how you milked so many unique mechanics out of one single concept but every new move and roadblock had me hyped. Another commenter below said that the store could use a little balancing and I think I agree. There was really no reason to not buy everything, almost to the point where I probably shouldn't have bought all the different moves so that I could make a more focused build. That being said I should try that, but as a first playthrough I was just buying everything.
this could probably be on a store front today and not be out of place, so I really think you should try and ship this because it deserves it.
Very cool game, definitely one of my favourites in the jam! I'm not sure I'd call this a horror game though. I was initially put off from playing it as I don't enjoy horror games at all. This is essentially a rhythm game with some spooky looking characters.
The gameplay mechanic is really satisfying. I think the shop/economy could maybe be a little more balanced. Pretty much every time I got to the shop, I would just buy everything so there was no real thought to what I was purchasing. It was essentially just free upgrades and heals between levels instead of a risk/reward type mechanic.
I think it goes without saying that the visuals and audio are top tier! They work together to create a wonderfully cohesive game. Very impressive game to play in a game jam <3
Simply put: Banger. This game is phenomenal. Such a unique idea, and done in a way that you can instantly get wrapped into. Fantastic work!
