genuinely a really fun game. loved all the weapons and how they felt. a lot of omph, a lot of juice! my only complaint is that I want more to play! great stuff!
Gotta say, I loved the boomerang weapon! I wish I had infinite of them, it was so satisfying to bonk an enemy and have it return to my hand very quickly. The edges of the screen looping fit your combat mechanics really well too. I think with a little more time to tune more weapons you could make this a really fun "get the highscore" arcade game. My only constructive feedback is some of the heavier/slower weapons weren't as fun to play with as the lighter/faster ones, so I always discarded them.
Wow very polished game!
I really love the intro and how you just throw us into the game!
Really nice music, art and gameplay!
Good job! :D
really cool! controls well, and my favourite weapon was by far the bow. i loved getting trick shots where an arrow would loop multiple times before hitting an enemy
The game is very fun to play :)
Really nice fighting game, I enjoyed smashing those ennemies and using all these weapons!!
Super satisfying to play!!! Love all the weapons, none feel more lacking then the others and they all feel unique from one another! Would love to play this multiplayer in the future or have some tougher enemies show up if you decide to work on this further! Fantastic visuals and good audio, great job!!!
This makes me nostalgic for joust! You art is great. Fun gameplay loop. I love it!
This is supprisingly fun! played a solid 5-10 minutes. The arrow is OP! Rated and appreciated! If you want you can check out my game too :)
This is fun! The intro breaking out of the chains is cool, and the music is very fitting, nice job!!
The controls are smooth and the sound effects are really good and satisfying when you kill an enemy. Great game!
The game's art style is nice and the music is perfect, it kind of reminds me of the old Doom games. It kept me glued to the screen for a while. My favorite weapon is the boomerang, not bad!
First of all, the tutorial in this game is perfect. Simple, effective, no text needed to explain the core mechanics of the game. Loved the art and sound design in this game as well, the style just felt great as a whole. I personally was a fan of the bow, where I could sit up on the higher platforms and shoot everything from above. The one bit of feedback that I have is that it would have been really cool if the enemies recognized that they could loop around the screen somehow, and used that direction to get to you if it's the shortest path. As it is now, I was able to really mess with the enemy AI by staying right on the edges of the screen and hopping back and forth. That was very entertaining in its own right, but I think it would be a neat feature for the enemies to use that looping aspect more. Great work!
Appreciate the feedback, we are currently working on upgrading enemy AI with that exact system of finding shortest path using loops.
Yo this game is so fun to play. It has this feeling like Blade but in hell haha. Definetely has potential for further development. Also, Ouroboros always works haha
Oh man, this took me back to the age of flash games. I know I would have loved to play this on newgrounds or similar! Felt really nice, gameplay is smooth and fun and visually it works pretty well!
If I had to give a bit of feedback, I did not feel the need to use the platforms as I did not see much advantage but maybe it´s just my playstyle. The bow was amazing but I think the arrows dropped really soon so sometimes it felt like my mouse and where I was aiming wasn´t synced!
Great work!
really fun to control wish there more enemys this feels like the complete first level of a game which is very impressive guys great job!
Really great atmosphere.
The weapon warm-up feels a bit strange at first, but after some two minutes of getting used to it, adds tactical depth.
Very fun gameplay, excellent animations, and a great atmosphere!
Quite a fun game ! The art is cool, the atmosphere as well
loved it! not too hard, not too easy. effective short tutorial (no wall of text!!!!) amazing art, nice loading animation! well done!
