Cool game
I like the art syle, would have really popped with a good soundtrack behind it. Good game feel if a little slidey. The delay between attacks was a little frustrating also.
gamewhat
I'm a big fan of the health being the count down timer! And I liked how snappy the animations were :D
Very clever idea. In my opinion, the art style was too simple, but the animations themselves were good. The combat felt good too!
Combat feels great when you master it. The art style is simple, but really good.
simple yet fun
great job!
Love the Corpse Canoneer lol <3
A very creative action game. My best score is 140.82
it's actually just total time
I forgot to make a proper score system
Controls were really tight and the concept was pretty solidly executed. Nice job!!
Really fun. There's no shooting, but the vibe reminds me of Metal Slug.
Cool game. The idea is very cool. But Jump being K is a bold choice.
it's just the default shovel knight keyboard layout which i find really comfy

this is a cool game, tho it did lack tutorial. also, it felt pretty weird for me that jump was [K] and not [Space] and that attack was [J] and not [LMB]
the idea of the game itself is really cool and i liked it a lot :D
you CAN actually attack with LMB i just forgot to mention it
Cool game. wish there was a tutorial. coffee cups slime creatures really ragebaited me. Loved the game though
Cool mechanics, a good start for something bigger.
The core concept of time = health is really good but it took me a while to figure out that that was the mechanic. Maybe a tiny bit of tutorialisation or even a splash page with some story reason why Mr. Pivot here has seconds to live and can get time back by killing enemies.
This game's hard as ballz!
I like the character movement and their moveset, very cool. There's a special place in hell for those mug enemies. Having to fight stationary cubes is not the most stimulating, but I like the cubes that shoot at you and give you a fraction of a second to get out the way.

the stationary ones were meant to be like either a zombie/ghoul with a minigun
which would rev up and fire if they had line of sight for too long but i forgot about making a sprite until it was too late, plus itch was crapping out+ my desktop's kinda shitty wifi capabilities caused me to upload with 20ish seconds left (the real anxiety inducing parts were trying to remember where i got the theme+footstep sounds before timeup)
also it was uploaded before they announced that they were accepting until 2PM
I kept getting killed by the jumping heads, it was challenging. The art style is simple but easy to read. Personally, I like it. Good job 👍
