How does your game fit the theme?
Players rack up a "downed" (kill) counter which counts down over time. At zero, this counter realeases a screenwide explosion, which is the only way to counter and eventually down the antagonist, Count Downe.

I love how juice the counter and the attack are. I couldn't figure out how to use the bomb or what the countdown in the back was meant to be. It was fun sending the little dudes flying though.

Thankyou for playing!!

The countdown in the background was the bomb's detonation timer. When it hits 0, it screen wipes :)

Game was super hard, but I liked the juicy right click!

Dont know if its just my browser or something but mouse seemed to dissappear so I couldn't click on anything :(

The left and right clicks, while they do perform actions in game, are still aimed with WASD, rather than a cursor. Sorry for the confusion ^^""

You may find it easier to play with the J and K keys :)

Took me a while but I figured it out mostly. My biggest problem is that the swing range is so low that it's hard to tell that it was my fault that I got too close to the green blobs and lost all of my kill counter. I don't use the parry because sometimes it just resets my timer and gets rid of the bomb; I don't know if that's because I got hit or it's a parry mechanic.

Overall I like how creative the boss fight is. The large slightly transparent numbers with the cool font in the background actually work, and the zooming to visually show the bomb power is something I've never seen before; did you see that from another game or just realize it works well in this one? Oh and the menu management is nice and a lot more polished than most other games I've played today. ENWOD sound is my favorite.

Also sorry If I was too critical

Liked it 

Was not very good but probably skill issue.

Could you rate my game too?

I like the idea. It is a very hard game, slightly hard to control where you are aiming
