In what way does your game fit the theme?
The player's controls are chaotic and there are many enemies to slay.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All code and art were done by the team during the jam.
The music is attributed.

It's a Trail Renderer! I basically just attached the trail renderer to the sword, set the alpha to fade from 1-0 in its lifespan, and set the size to do the same. I also took some of the smoothing features off so it looks more cartoon-like to compliment the art (that's what is creating some of the rough angles).
I'm not sure what engine you're using, but I'm sure there should be a tutorial on it somewhere. If you're using Unity, I would recommend looking up "Blackthornprod - How to make cool trail effects - Unity Tutorial."

Thanks for playing! Honestly, I should have shortened the waves even more (they were almost twice as long just a few hours before publishing). And your Rope extends by 1 every wave, so the range of the Thrust does increase!

To be honest, I ran into so many physics issues making this, I was rather lucky to even have 2 enemy types. Lol. And the Thrust gets to become more useful the longer your rope gets. Not that it's mentioned anywhere, but the Thrust seeks a target in a cone in front of it and deals 1.5x Damage.
Well done team! I enjoyed this game quite a bit. The swingy knife blade felt good, and the difficulty curve was a nice touch. I think the waves felt a little long overall. Once you get the bats grouped up, the waves get a little more manageable and it feels like a game of patience more than anything else. Unfortunately, I forgot about the time slow until the end of the last wave... It didn't seem super necessary. I found that in the later waves, slow movements and well timed jabs did a lot more than trying to maintain momentum. I got through on the first go and had a lot of fun doing so :)

If you ever get around to it, I do hope you try the windows version with some headphones on!
I put a lot of effort into it and Unity WebGL didn't like it very much. Lol.
Thanks for stopping by, would love to collab with you sometime!
