The assets were a little bit depressing for my taste, but had a unique touch. I found a bug where if you press many times the space bar next to a citizen without being in range of killing him the murder count will keep increasing.

Interesting game! It's incredibly basic, but as a first jam, it's pretty neat!

Great game!!

I really liked the artwork and the soundtrack, but I think there needs to be more of a visual cue for when you are swinging the axe. Additionally, if you press the space bar multiple times while colliding with an enemy, you earn a kill for each "attack", not sure if intentional or not. With a bit of polish, I think this could really go somewhere. Nice work!

Great work for a first jam! I was impressed with my kill spree until I realized that the little guys don't fight back hahaha.

Man is this dark! I think most of us thought of chaos as something that takes control away from you... but being the one that brings chaos into the innocent lives of others, sends shivers down my spine! nice job, saw that you said on the game page that you might work on a better version of the game, please do so! would love to see the art style explored further since the tittle screen is great.

After killing some dudes I noticed the booty on the main character, gave me a nice laugh. Nice game!

Not bad for a first jam, this is my second jam and honestly when you are newer to doing projects it can be really hard to finish on time but I bet you learned a bunch, I really like the art style, and yes I know there is a few bugs but seriously the game isnt a bad idea and I consider it to be pretty chaotic in it's idea. Good job for your first jam!

My first jam game's enemies were dumb and couldnt go around walls and sometimes just ran straight through them like honestly I know the feeling but seriously I think this game has a potential if you wanna keep going with it after rating is over. Seriously good job for first jam!

It's clearly not done yet, as there's no a game over criteria. But I can see where this is going.

You can get a lot of kills by spamming space quickly, like 3-5 kills per people.

Solid gameplay if you could incorporate more of the art style from the main screen into the game play you would have an excellent game

Nice booty. Often time, the axe animation would be overruled by the walk animation. Games like these should really emphasize the attack and impact to feel like you're a real menace. Fun game nonetheless
