interesting concept. Wasn't a fan of the inverting on both horizontal and vertical axis though. Apart from that, I think you have a solid concept to continue from

Thank you. I already have a patched version ready adding invert options and xbox controller support for the game, which will be uploaded as soon as the jam is over.

Mechanics are fun to play around with , enjoyed your game😁

Nice game, good job.  I agree about reversing the mouse axis.  I had fun pushing the enemies into the hole!

Submitted(+1)

The game mechanics are generally well thought out. But if something the mouse aiming was rather inconvenient for my taste as it was inverted vertically.

I thought this was a lot of fun, the shield block jump mechanic was a cool idea and there are lots of mechanics implemented really well. Good stuff!

Nice idea of the "holes" Theme, i like it :)

Submitted(+1)

Nice game! Gameplay works very well. The only thing I would change the reverse axis.

Great work.

Game Idea is really nice.

Love the way you implemented the theme. Gameplay  is also nice. 

I hope you like my game too!

Good game 

just need to make better UI as the button stood out from the rest of the game

otherwise pretty neat game :)

Hey, this is ntwiles from the discord channel!

This is simple, but plays really well. The push and pull abilities were really good. The camera was a bit tough to get used to since I’m not used to inverted vertical axis cameras, but that was my only gripe. Really fun game!

Did didn’t figure out how to get the higher coins though. What’s the trick??

Developer

Thank you. The trick is to use the block mechanic in the air to bounce of an enemy.

The game is very fun, but the reverse axis is a bit confusing. The blocking is very well done. I like the high jump idea.
Great work!

nice game, parrying was lot of fun :D

Submitted(+1)

i like your game

same idea as my game but its's 3D

the sound effect the balls makes beffor attaking help a lot preventing them

if you just blende the animation s shield holdin and walkin so that the player dont slide while using the shield

other whis your game is amazing

good luck

Cool idea! I like how the parry feels, it was easy to get use to it, something that even some comercial games dont get quite right. I found myself spending more time pushing the enemies into the holes than collecting coins hahaha.

Congratulations on your game :3

The block and parry mechanics were so smooth! Having a completely defensive player was innovative and inspiring. The camera did feel a little backwards in terms of the y axis (z in 3d?), but the controls were still slick.

Submitted

This was actually surprisingly fun, really nice simple idea done well. Controls are on point, sadly I don't think it fits the theme too well (besides the random holes) but a really well made submission overall. Great work!

Submitted(+1)

That's a nice game - the mechanic of using your shield for blocking, as well as jumping higher are a good idea!

Submitted(+1)

Interesting game, The graphics could have been better, even if you wanted to go with this style, this looks more of a prototype of a game, that's fine if that's the look you're going for! Like how the player is pushed back when attacked by an enemy, good feedback for a player! you could expand on this easily to make a fun game! All the best Mate!

Submitted(+1)

A decent game. Could definitely be expanded upon :D
