I liked throwing the blade around. Good job!

I like the 3d feel of it and the scythe! The only thing I'd say was maybe a loude "youve been hit" sound as I couldn't tell when I was hit but it was a lot of fun! I've yet to make it past wave 2 but I'm trying for wave 3!
I got hooked into the game after my first playthrough. The gameplay was easy and addictive. The characters being spheres makes it easier to spot and hit. A problem I kinda spotted was that the sound effect that plays when you lose your health gets drowned out by other sound effects. Unfortunately, I never got to plant all of the flowers. I'll try to complete the game if I get enough time :)
Im so happy your hooked on the game, and your having fun playing it. I do agree with the losing health sound but i only realised it after rating had started, so if i update the game after the jam i will make it more dominant.
As for planting all the flowers, i only know of two people doing it, one being me and it took a lot of tries haha, so good luck and please let me know if you manage to complete it.
Overall solid game, loved the sound effect for throwing the scythe. BGM is pretty good overall and helps set a sort of chill vibe, Like "time to go murder all the other death balls, Tuesday amiright?" just sorta makes everything feel like its not big deal. Controls felt good and collision with the environment was never frustrating. That being said game could have benefitted from a healing mechanic, Plant enough flowers? Get a small heal. Something like that. (yeah I'm bad at games :P ) good job man.
Very kewl bro. Shader effect on the tombstones look a bit funky tho lol
Super fun game! Could do with a little more juice though (screen shake, enemy hit sounds)
It's pretty fun, the goal is easy to understand and so the game loop make your game fun to play. May be it could be appreciable to add some heals or other bonus to somehow, help the player
I liked it, it was juicy in terms of particle effects, but I could use some screen shake, and I want a look ahead camera just a slight bit, over all a pretty nice simple game, really can't get over 5 kills, the small ghosts are bit hard for me, but I like the variety. nice job!
Hey good job on this game man. I enjoyed the difficulty of it and was trying to see how far I got. What ended up happening was that I would collect a lot of souls, but die before I got to use them. My only gripes about this experience was that there's no way to differentiate your attacks from the enemies, so I kept kept getting hit thinking that it'll go the other way. Other than that, I found myself gliding across the field and couldn't stop my movements for a bit. Still, I had a fun time.
Thank you and im happy you enjoyed the difficulty.
I do need to add some slight balancing as well as an incentive to plant flowers other than completion. I also agree with the projectiles and making it so the enemies are more distinctive. As for the gliding, mi not sure if it was just leggy moment with the internet connecting as i haven't heard anyone have the same issue, or seen it myself whilst playing.
Anyway thank you for playing and im super happy you enjoyed it.
Ooh another 3D one. I'm a fan of the art style in this one -- it reads well in 3D, so nicely done with that. I also found it pretty funny that everyone was just chucking scythes at each other (and it also helps to give a distinct identity and vibe to the game rather than using generic projectiles). The scythes felt really good to use too, with the sound design and visual effects.
I agree with other folks that this one was a bit hard, but with a bit of balancing and extension, I could definitely see this be developed into a full game. Nice job! :)
Yeah personally i absolutely love 3D over 2D, so 3D games whilst more annoying are my preferred.
I'm happy you like the style, sounds and visual effects. I also agree it is a bit hard, and i tried to get the balancing correct but didnt have time as per usual in game jams.
However im happy you enjoyed it and im definitely thinking of editing it wen this is over and adding/fixing some things.
Really good but really hard. I couldn't get all of the flowers lol. It would be cool to see some sort of health regen system such as every X flowers you get Y health or something.
pretty cool ^^ VERY HARD THO LOL thats probably with intention tho haha Id love to see this expanded with maybe like? a way to heal yourself or something (Maybe with a separate difficulty setting ?) But yes love the idea of the reaper having a garden thats really cute to me bwaha
