The graphics are really nice, fitting for the vibe and charming! I think if you continue building upon this and add more SFX it can elevate the game! The red overlay on being low health was a bit too much, but it was nice to have that indicator

Your game is so fun to play. I think the merchant wasn't completelly finished, but didn't ruin the fun. Really amazing game!

Plase make sure to also rate my game!

I have no Idea how the merchant work, but this is a really cute game. I wish there were more polishes though as one of the most important aspect of how a game is fun is determine by its JUICY NESS or POLISH. The level design is actually pretty cool with ramping difficulty mechanics, I like the creeper skeleton guy. And this game would definitely be x999 more fun with polish like effects when hitting and sound effects. I also couldn't tell how much hp the skeleton has left, especially on the big guy(I thought he was a boss). So I would recommend adding sprite for damaged skeleton or health bar.

Great jobs!

This was fun! I like the graphics, especially the skeleton sprites. I couldn't figure out how to use the canons but enjoyed playing anyway. Well donde

A very fun game! I was able to buy all the upgrades from the start which I assume Isnt intended, but that's ok :)

I'm having fun playing this game.

The art is really cool, honestly thought you would run out of sprites but then increasingly new enemies kept turning up each wave with a different attack and everything. Amazing work, I did run into a bug in the shop, I didn't seem to have any money and could either upgrade everything or nothing which seemed like not the way it was intended ;) If you do any post jam tweaks I would suggest putting some visual feedback to one enemies get hit, just flash the sprite colours is often enough to give the player a nice bit of feedback that they are doing something. But as is, for a weeks work it is incredible!

Heyy!! Thank you for your feedback. It was pretty difficult to get through with the game jam. Our head programmer was pretty busy and had to work the whole night to make the game playable and fun.  We ended up without a few things that we had in our minds. We are wondering if we should finish the game in the future, so stay tuned to see what we have planned!! <3

Cool graphics, I really liked the animations. Nice work! I just wish there were different levels to play on  and a way know what items you have. 

Developer

Thanks!! We are wondering if we should finish the game in the future.  If we do, we're definetly gonna add more levels! I think you would like one of our other games called Kronas, let us know if you try it!!

looks good and feels good! but i dont hear audio, is it intentional?

Developer

Thx!! The programmer on our team didn't have much time to polish the game, so he didn't focus on sounds :,)
Thank you for the kind words <3

Neat game! plays well!

Developer

Thank youuu <3 We all worked really hard, even tho it's not perfect. Your kind words encourage us!

Very simple game. Sounds would help and maybe a clearer objective?

Developer

Yeah, unfortunately we didn't had the time to put the audios we made. We're definetly not making the same mistake again!! 

Submitted

Nice idea! I really like the visuals, would be nice with some sounds. Otherwise Good job!
