Very cool theming, with great characters designs and a cool world, I was surprised to see how many little details you managed to cram in. I also liked having four different weapons with very different uses, I tried to adapt to each of the bosses. 
I think the boss battles themselves need a little bit more balancing, as you can face-tank the majority of their attacks, which also sucks out some of the fun of alternating between weapons (as you can stand in front of the boss and go swinging your melee until it dies).

Overall though, very nice entry!

very prett y game !!! i love the colours and art of the game!!!

Hello, the game is really cute, the art is beautiful

I feel like I am the boss in this one lol. Would've loved to see more spin theme used in the boss. The centipede was perfect for it. Overall an enjoyable experience.

Now I must say, the melee attack does absolutely insane damage lmao.  I had a lot of fun with this one and really loved the artistic style with the colour palette and pixel art.  I think having some extra SFX on hit, hit stops and slight screen shake can really improve the intensity of the game!

Outstanding presentation all around, really stands out from the pack with the level of design and assets. There's a surprising amount of variety to the gameplay and I enjoyed each of the different weapons, finding myself using each of them at different points. The music matches the tone really well too. Awesome job!

I loved everything about the game, I think that with a bit more balancing, maybe more damage done by every boss, since I was able to tank everything an melee attack. Thanks for the game! would love if you tried mine and gave some feedback.

It looks amazing, design for bosses and arenas are gorgeous, unfurtundly I found the combat a bit lacking, I could just face tank every boss and spam the melee attack until finish it, a shame cause the game is fantastic.

I think this is one of the most finished looking games I have seen in the jam!  And it's exciting you made all your own music and sound, what a complete team!  I really like the map layout, except the use of negative space made the floors a bit uncertain at times.  The ranged weapons would feel better if they had an animation lock so that you don't fire weapons a way you didn't intend.  Great work overall, and good luck in the competition!

Great art style, everything looks really polished and clean, spinning between attacks felt nice and my favourite was the flame thrower even though it burned through the mana (cog pieces, copper, not sure what its actually called) really quickly. I had a lot of fun playing this gj

Hey! This game is really cool! The art is really beautifull, it is really polished, but I found it too unbalanced for the player. The short melee desintagrates bosses and the most fun attack ( fire bean ) is taken away for some time. But still, better an easier game than a hard one that you can't see through the end. Really cool, really liked it, other than balancing, really cool entry!

The other comments have mentioned this, but the art is phenomenal! The animations are also very fluid. The cute, quick melee attack is so satisfying to see. The other attacks have too big of a delay to find any use, so I, too, fell back on spamming the quick melee attack with a little bit of occasional dodging. This is one of the most polished games I've played so far and looks like it could be made into a full commercial title. Congrats on a game so well made!

The art in this game is incredible! From the visuals to the music, everything fits together really well. I had some trouble figuring out how to dodge certain attacks, so I ended up relying on the good old strategy of tanking the damage and spamming melee attacks.

Hey Bryan Blaze, we meet again! :) Hello other team!

Such a good game - great visuals and animation! After dying three times, I finally beat all the bosses and finished the game.

After the first boss, the others felt much easier. The melee claws were the best way to attack them! Blaze fire felt long but not very effective. Overload and gears were useful, though.

The one-hand controls felt a bit weird at first, but I got used to them quickly. The music was super memorable (still stuck in my head!) but was a bit loud by default and had a lot of low mids for my taste, so I wished for more SFX impact. Loving that organ and harpsichord style synth - what did you use for them Holden?

Overall, a great submission - awesome job, guys!

Very fun game! I Would say the melee slash is a bit too overpowered, but on my 2nd playthrough I only used the other attacks and was able to see more of the fights, which are quite engaging!

I love the soundtrack as well!

Damn its so good it needs to be a standalone experience once.

wow the art xD. performance of game in browser was pretty good for me too.  thx for skip lore button we playing lots of games <3 melee #1. 

Cute looking game, I like music and detailed animations.

But on balance department there are some issues. No point to use anything, but fast slash attack because of its insane dps, like I killed bosses 2 and 4 without even getting what they were doing, because they died too fast. So definitely need to nerf it and add more love to other attacks.

Dialog-wise, I wouldn't mind to read the lore, but without option to immediately show the text it becomes a bit tiresome, cuz you need to wait for the text to be typed out.

melee strong

Beautiful game with stunning visuals and a captivating lore. The art design is amazing, and the story really fits with the music. Great job! I'd say the bosses are easily defeated if you use the right attack, but that may be on purpose
