The art style is fantastic! The models are beautiful, especially the main character. The overall vibe is great, and the game feels really polished. I really liked the dungeon crawler concept it's a lot of fun. Great project, and I hope you keep working on it!

This is super cool! I am pretty bad at it hahahaha i didn't get very far. Very surprising amount of polish for a quick jam!

Bro, we were at it for 15 hours a day—sometimes even longer—for the whole 10 days =) But it was worth it.

Well made! I have not made it through, yet, because it's not my type of game and I am dying a lot. I'm getting better, but it needs a bit more. What I dont understand is: when you die you get to choose to replay or revive for 100 wax. Is wax something I haven't found yet - because I'm too blind to see or because that's only to be found later? Or where/how do I get "wax"? I was not able to do something with the melons lying around. Is there something I could do with them?

I never used SHIFT because I have to point in the direction to dash. Maybe, I also did not get the point of using SHIFT? 

And yes, the voice is awesome ;-)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback!
Wax is the main resource in the game; it serves as both HP and currency. A pile yields 25 wax: it restores health, and any amount exceeding your maximum health goes into your reserve. You can use it to buy upgrades or to respawn. The Shift ability works in the direction of movement; it’s not a mandatory skill and costs HP, but it is effective when you’ve upgraded your speed and makes movement more convenient.

OK, thx. But how can I use wax to revive after dying if dying means wax = 0 ?

Developer

You have an HP bar shaped like a candle, and beneath it is an indicator for the wax accumulated beyond your max HP—that’s the currency. Try playing a bit more; I think it will become clear.

"Bla bla bla bla" as a voiceover is genius :)
Love the game. It has this 200 nintendo charm.
Enemy hits can use some juice!

Developer

Cool use of themed item, I like how polished it felt.

The game is incredibly well-made! It’s great. It would be even better if holding down the left button allowed for continuous firing.

Developer

Did you unlock the secret ending? The attack has a cooldown; that was the intended design.

Submitted

So that's how it is

兄弟,你的游戏震惊到我了,没有开玩笑你的游戏的机制很好,包括音乐,但是不知道是不是渲染问题我的显卡用4060都会有卡顿,在开始的时候比较明显,但是你的3d的渲染对我来说是震撼的,我希望我们有朝一日可以一起合作做一款恐怖游戏。
