Pretty game. Some of it felt a bit unfair like when the enemies would attacking youa s soon as the wave started and they were close to you. One thing I didn't like was the time between waves. On some waves there was a few enemies and it was easy to clear, but then all there was to do was wait.

Really appreciate the feedback! I thought that players may get overwhelmed pretty quick but it seems I was wrong.
Really fun game! the fact that you can't actually directly kill enemies, but only deactivate them is a really unique idea. combining a range attack to deactivate them with a close-up one to finish them is so fun. Very fun and very addicting!
Thank you <3
A very nice game .There are some bugs but still it is a nice game .Keep going:)
Thanks! I may update it in the future if I have time, there're still some possibilities to explore.
"Pesky hellspawn, get back in that hole!" *spray* *spray* *thwack*
Loved the theme! Really nice sound effects and those flames that sweep past to change scenes are awesome!
Thank you :>
Very cool and funny setting! Sometimes the enemies would attack me right as they spawn, which felt a bit unfair. Apart from that it was fun!
They will sometimes spawn right next to you as well, I didn't do much playtest lol. Thanks for the feedback!
I like both visuals and audio. The idea is great, haven't seen anything like that before.
The game isn't difficult at all, but it's still fun. What interrupted my fun was getting stuck in a wall.
There could be some more enemy variety and if I didn't get stuck in the wall I would definitely play longer.
There was one more enemy type that I already coded but didn't have time to draw and animate. I will add some more enemy and fix the wall as well if I have time. Really appreciate the feedback <3
Loved the artstyle! The game is fun and original also! Well done mate :)
Thank you :>
Fun concept. Visuals are pretty good. Movement could be a little less floaty and the time to play again after dying could be a bit quicker. However, I had quite a bit of fun playing the game. Well done!
Thank you <3
As soon as the game booted up and I experience the stun/bash mechanics I said "Oh, thats fun!!" out loud, ahahaha
The movement feels a bit too floaty for this kind of game, hard to weave between things when you're sliding around on ice. Also the trajectory on the broom bashes seems totally random, a few times the enemy would teleport to a location near me then shoot off in that direction, but these are just bugs, I'm assuming, not intended. Either way, super fun game, good job!!
Thanks <3
good game
Thank you!
i liked, its fun and have good animations, i dont know why the first wave is always empty for 10 seconds of doing nothing, but most of frustration is miss the pit and the enemies get stuck in corners, shold be a way to make they bounce on the walls or place the pit on corners
My game director is broken for sure, and I didn't have enough time to do serious playtest. Thanks for feedback!
I dislike how long it takes before getting back into the action after dying. First the transition to the "pick up your hat" part takes long, then after clicking it you are greeted by another transition and then you need to wait 10 seconds before something actually happens.
I like the idea and art style though.
Thanks for the feedback! I also thought of simplify the transition a bit but I ran out of time. Definitely will improve this aspect in the next jam!
I love the theme, and yeeting the monsters into the hole is super satisfying. My biggest issue was that enemies would instantly attack upon spawning, making it impossible to avoid their damage. I also think bouncy walls would have been helpful to get enemies unstuck.
Overall, I really loved the visual theme and concept, and had a lot of fun outside those frustrations. Nice work!
Thank you! :>
Very cute idea but pretty challenging to push things around, especially near the edges of the screen. Perhaps if enemies and walls were bouncier it could help so that enemies don't stay near walls where it's hard to funnel them in a particular direction fast. Also locking the mouse to the game screen in webGL would help me not... accidentally hit right click outside the game window. Oops!
Thanks for your feedback! My first webGL build wasn't even playable lol, so with this build I already expected some bugs. Will improve build quality, as well as game mechanics in the future :>.
Reminded me of old Newgrounds Flashgames. The Sweeping mechanic could be a bit smoother so you can swish swoosh more. Also directing enemies to the pit was kind of cumbersome with the slow sweeps without controll of direction.
Idea and Art Style is super charming and very funny - enjoyed this one!
Thank you! I grew up with flash games so this one certainly got some flash games-feeling. Really appreciate the feedback, I may go back and adjust some stuff if I have time.
This is very fun. The art style was what made it even better unless you count the gameplay mechanic and story of course. Had a fun and challenging time playing it. Could you check my game if you have time maybe?
Thanks! I've already rated your game. Cheers!
Thx..
Creative and fun! I like the art too! Nice work! :D
Thank you! I'm going to check out your game too.
Overall a fun game! I enjoyed the art style and the comedy element to it all. The idea of some pour soul armed with only a spray bottle and a broom pushing monsters back into a pit is really funny. The gameplay itself is nice, everything feels good and the fire scene transition is a super nice touch.
If you wanted to improve, I suggest adding background music and some sort of score functionality where the quicker you get monsters back into the pit, the higher the score you get it. It could work like Mario where enough score gets you health back or you could have a shop system for additional items / upgrades.
Overall this is a super fun game with tons of potential! Nice work!
Thank you so much <3
Great game! Definitely a must-try. Still in early development but it will get better real soon. Thank you!
Thank you!
