this art style is amazing you inspired me! the gameplay simple and smooth. had fun playing it 

Submitted

it got really tedious quickly waiting for the little cut scene each time. not sure its worth having past the first time. otherwise good job

Submitted

The intro screen got me confused, I quit the game because I clicked before reading lol. When I died for the first time I got 16 coins and I couln't buy anything with that :(
The intro slide should be skippable or move forward once you already died once.
Bolgar the 7th killed the whole enemy troop in the end 😎
Really cool little experience!

Simple to learn and pretty fun to play! Felt satisfying getting better and better with each iteration

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I had fun coming up with the upgrades

Simple and good jam entry, very addictive and very easy to get into

Ngl, same thing happened to me as to hatmix, I was trying to connect the targets to the dummy's target and wasn't getting why it isn't working until I noticed

Good game

Thanks for playing (until the end)! Yeah in retrospect putting the same target on the dummy was a bad idea haha

Submitted(+1)

I had fun. felt like the ending could have been a bit more difficult to get to, but overall well done.

Developer

Very valid. Tried to keep it short and sweet. Thanks for playing!!

What am I doing wrong? Nothing seems to be happening…

Submitted

you need to draw a line that cut the dummy in 2

Submitted

OH! Thanks!

Developer

Oops, I totally should not have put a target on the dummy too. That's my bad

Excellent work. Simple but juicy, with incrementally more juice.

Everything just works, which is disproportionately satisfying for playtesters.

Spot on music.

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for playing!

I like the mechanic, I would definitely add an option to skip the animation between the games. Good job!

Developer

Totally valid. Thank you for playing!

i really like this game, very impressive for one person

Developer

Thank you so much!!

Submitted(+1)

I really like the game, all the upgrades are focused on the core mechanic(bleeding time and click-to-drag control) ,good job, sir

Developer

Thank you very much!!

Submitted(+1)

I Love the art! The click and drag is a nice fun progression!

Developer

Thanks for playing!!

Amazing art and audio, and the click‑to‑drag gameplay feels super smooth. The Viking theme works great and the game hooks you fast.

Developer

Thank you for the kind words Santi!

Submitted(+1)

This was really cool

The Viking theme was a really interesting idea and fun way to use the theme

Developer

Thank you! My other idea was someone writing a will while skydiving, I'm glad I went with this one instead haha

Submitted(+1)

The art, audio. Amazing work! 


The click-to-drag was very nice; 

Good job on your first jam game! You've done a brilliant job on this!

Developer(+1)

Thank you Kruda! Your game has set the bar high!

Submitted(+1)

I love the art and audio, fantastic work! 

Developer

Thank you!!

Submitted(+1)

Really really pretty game! 

Is actually quite a fun little aim trainer as a by-product

Love the audio as well

Would have been nice to have a way to skip the intro cutscene after the first run

Developer

Thank you! Ironically enough I'm really bad at any game with a lot of mouse aiming haha. Thanks for playing!

Very Nice! Love the cute characters in a violent reality! Hrolf the 7th took down the entire warband and died like a true warrior!

Developer

All hail the line of Hrolf!! Thanks for playing :)
