Oooooh, the dear's super high frame rate kinda freaked me out lol. The music is also really good (I'm getting terraria-ish vibes from it). The lack of sound effects is bit of a let down, but not a deal breaker. Yall could defo make a cult of the lamb 2 game and do well. Nice job :)

Great game, the soundtrack is amazing and the animations of the little deer are crazy! 
Few issues here and there but overall very fun to play!

Hey! I’m the artist for the game! Thank you for the kind words, this was my first time animating for a game and I’m so proud of how it turned out!

Amazing Game, The ones who worked on this project must be extremely  funny,  creative, good-looking and funny

Yeah, except one of them, that I think is really short and dumb. But the game is great!

Ayyy, we kinda have a similar-ish idea on protecting a tomato god-ish! Your game's visuals are awesome, I love the lil deer and its animations as well! The attacks and the flash on hit is also a good touch to give that feedback but I was devastated to not hear any sound effects or music during gameplay! I wish there were some sort of audio sound scape or sound effects in the game itself to add that extra game feel!  Sometimes its also not obvious when I am taking damage (maybe adding a screenshake or a flash on the player itself could work?). Overall, great visuals but gameplay still needs a bit more polish. I still had fun with it tho! Good job team!!

Hiii, music composer for this game here. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to add music to the arena — I was 2 minutes late (isn't that a common story for game jams? :)).
But the music was done, so I uploaded it to SoundCloud. You can listen to it if you want:

Ahh fair! I tried opening the song but it came out with this:
"This track was not found. Maybe it has been removed"

Oh no, something went wrong with that link. I've changed it, now it's fully working. I hope you'll enjoy it!!
