Nice simple game, good job on getting it out. A couple more enemy varieties would of been nice, and some more feel to the hits to the enemy (like flashing, vfx etc).
But overall solid work!

Developer

Thanks you very much for playing my game! Yes, more enemies was an idea. But I there was no time for that...

Submitted

Good audio design! Music and sound effects were both great. Visuals while simple, were easy to understand and overall I liked them.

My brain struggled to not try and move using WASD and to use the mouse instead, but that made for a fun challenge.

Nice work!

Developer

Wow I thought it was simple. Maybe it is because I developed it. My brother understood it in an amount of seconds.

Submitted

I understood it fine, but I found it challenging to execute, my muscle memory for moving with WASD wanted to take over.

Submitted

Was anyone else shooting in time with the music? xD

Developer

I haven't tried that yet. Good idea! (Wait does that mean you liked the music?)

Submitted

yeah dude, it was very catchy!

Submitted

The game was pretty fun. It was simple but fit together nicely. Nice Job!

Developer

It was simple because I'm still learning programming. This jam for me was a challenge to learn new things and use them on a game!

Submitted

Hello! This game was fun. Its a great platform that could be expanded on and looks like it would great on mobile. The music fit the simple visual pretty well, but it was a little loud :P
I did have enemies spawn directly on me once which ended one of my runs :(
Overall, solid entry :)

Developer

Well... If I make it for mobile, people would cheat, or the game won't be what it is... And about the enemy spawn thingie... Yes I have to fix that.

Submitted

Awesome! Love that you listen to feedback! Glhf

A simple game with a simple mechanic! Very easy to play! I would love to see more intelligent enemies/ more dangerous ones! Good game :D

Developer(+1)

True. The "more intelligent enemies" was an idea but I didn't have time for that.

It's a very simple and unique game. Using your mouse to dodge attacks and retaliate is a very interesting mechanic. The game feels very slow, though. There's just not enough enemies to make the game challenging. The difficulty ramping is also very slow. Overall, a unique game!

Developer

Yes. And this is the fixed difficulty system. Also the game was not that slow, but the webGL build is slower. Try to install and play it to see how it used to be.

Took me a bit to get my head around the controls, but in a fun extra challenge way, rather then complicated or confusing.
Nice job on the theme and style of the game. Was fun to play.  
Enjoyed the music and SFX to. 

Well done, good job! 

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

The music and SFX were done with a little help from my brother. He really liked Bosca Ceoil!

Submitted

I like the interpretation of the theme- I did find the WASD to rotate took some getting used to, Great game!

Developer

Yes a lot of people said that... But when you get used to it it's fun (if you're not in a laptop. The touchpads somewhy lock when you're pressing a key and you need to have a mouse)
