Really nice graphics. Well put together game. I guess if you're thinking of developing it more, you might want to introduce some exploration
Nice game! The music was really catchy and the graphics weeer also great! Though the attack didn't really felt responsible and it was unclear how to damage the enemies despite the description. But still nice game!
It feels like Vampire Survivors but with a more active gameplay and I liked it!
I survived for more than 10 min with a great dagger. I was expecting for a boss of some kind, or more ennemies spawning, but nope. I think it would be a great add!
Cool game. Graphics and music are good.
I really liked these styles of games you did a good job!
rlly fleshed out game for such a short time period!
Cool game! The graphics and music were good, and I liked the different kinds of enemies. good job!
one thing to note - the dagger isn't very fun to play with and can discourage players from playing until they find a better weapon. still, great game!
Very fun vampire survivors styled game!!!!
The dagger was lame, but as soon as you get a better weapon the game becomes amazing.
Graphics and music were very fitting, use of the theme was well done.
I had a lot of fun with this one, great work!!
cool game I rate is so I wished that you will rate my game
Here is my game - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-9/rate/1933204
Nice art style! it was fun, however it would be better if you added controls , it took me a while to know how to hold the sword, but nice work overall!
Unfortunately we both forgot about adding a controls screen, but there will be one once we can update the game again that supports key-rebinding! Thanks for trying out the game!
Thanks for the feedback!! We've already tuned some of the unforgiving elements of the game for an update post-jam, and will definitely take some of these points as ways to improve the game.
Love your artwork. Icons are looking great! Feels very polished!
Thank you so much!
A fairly generic but still fun and very polished roguelike.
Pros: cool art, very ambitious, commendable amount of polish, simplistic yet fun.
Cons: sound effects were a tad dull and repetitive, the pacing was a bit slow for a jam though it'll probably be fine for future updates, the aiming felt a little janky like there was maybe some spread I didn't personally like but that could also be user error.
Overall a really cool experience. Roguelike was the obvious choice and this certainly wasn't the most creative game I've played here but the execution and polish are among the best I've seen so far.
Appreciate the feedback! We worked hard to try and polish the game right up until the submission time. Unfortunately some bugs still got through.
1. Acquire a 25+ damage Dagger;
2. Stand in one place;
3. Hold left click.
10/10, would highly recommend
LOL, the ultimate cheese. Thanks for trying out the game!
I dig the oldschool style graphics, sound is implemented nicely as well. Combat feel great although the red ghosts feel a little unfairly good, but that could be a skill issue.
Thank you! The ghosts are for sure a little unfair haha!
I appreciate the encouraging comments! The red ghosts are definitely a bit too harsh lol We are already making tweaks for future updates :)
Really fun! The gameplay is dynamic. The red ghosts are tough haha Also shoutout for making this using LÖVE :)
Thanks for the feedback, definitely going to be toning down the ghosts! LOVE is so much fun to use haha!
Fun game! A little hard to tell when you are attacked because the attack effect is behind the enemies, and I died the first time because I couldn't figure out how to pick up the sword. Otherwise solid game with cool graphics and sweet music!
Understandable lol, we forgot to add a display for the controls until it was submission time. Thanks for the feedback!
Great game and graphics. The shop "Force your destiny" is super cool. Great Work
Thank you!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed your time playing.
Damn... I have never been a fan of top-down survivals, but your game is exceptional.
I like it.
Thank you! That means a lot!
That's awesome we got you to find fun in a genre you normally don't enjoy!
