Amazing, just amazing! If anyone ever doubts how important is music to a game, show them this game. Everything is very polished, and the simple structure is just incredibly effective, everything just fits together! I think if you added a high scores list with names in a save file or something, you could easily put it as is in an arcade. If I am to point negatives, I think I would say it gets old eventually, it's the kind of game that you play once for a couple of minutes, get your high score and never turns on again. If you were to add more variety, multiplayer and some other forms of challenges it could be better, but now that I think about it, wtf am I talking, this is a game jam!!! So yeah, I think this is a complete prototype, congratulations my friend!!
PS: I got to a point where I giant dude dropped on me out of nowhere to kill me. Did this happen always when the player gets to 8k?
EDIT: Solid 5 on gameplay and audio for you =)
Thank you so much for your praise! It means the world :D
The giant dude is the last enemy type you fight. He can be killed just like the others but he walks instead of flying.
Thanks again for playing the game, about it getting old, that I knew would happen eventually. I do have plans to turn this game around into something bigger, so gonna keep my fingers crossed.
This game is f**ckin Lid bro! Loved the music and the super polished gameplay, I could not stop playing it! Find my video review below, will probably play it later again to finish my day haha!

Thank you so much for reviewing the game in your video! Awesome <3 Will check out your submission too :)
Absolutely fantastic game! The graphics are so vibrant. The level music is great and the feedback from using attacks is incredible. The pacing of the game and the increasing difficulty are phenomenal. I honestly am having trouble thinking of how to appropriately describe how awesome I thought it was. Great job!
Wow, thanks a lot! Gonna check out your game too! :D
That's a lot more praise than I deserve ;)
Awesome work! I love the SFX and Music, its got a really nice gameplay feel :)
Thank you a lot for trying it out!
The game seems to be well polished ! Could not get very far (2520) due to playing with a touchpad but the gameplay art and music are super cool :)
Thanks a lot for playing! By touchpad, do you mean the laptop?
Yup, playing without a mouse on a laptop haha
Yeah, that can be difficult for dashing and attacks. But thanks for trying the game out :D
Came back to the game with a mouse, much better !
Really good, it's so satisfying given the nature of the game and the SFX.
Maybe there should be some audio options or regulate the overall sound.
The graphics are so good too, gotta say this game has a lot of mobile market potential, think about it!
Would really appreciate if you checked our game too: https://itch.io/jam/game-off-2020/rate/839948
Wow! Your game looks interesting. Way more advanced than what I have :D!
Thanks a lot for your praises. I too saw the potential for this in the mobile games market. Maybe once I find some free time, I'll expand it :)
Thanks again!
Amazing graphics. I like the pace of the game. Effects and light are perfect. It would be nice if it had more levels and variations. Overall, really enjoyed it.
Thank you a lot! I didn't have much time during the month so I had to limit the game.
But it's great you liked it!
This game is incredible!!!
The effects, the audio, the controls... everything is polished and amazing!
My only complaint would be enemy variety - I haven't gotten very far, but it seems like the only enemy type are the bats? And I would like to see something different at some point.
There is one more enemy type later. But that's all I could manage.
Thanks for playing ^^
This does not run on Mac (just says it can't run, no error message or anything).
Yes I posted about it on the dev log. There's also an installation instruction. I'm very sorry I tried to fix it but I cannot understand why it does that. Check the instructions, then the game should work fine. Totally understandable if you decide to skip my entry.
Ah okay, I didn't see that. I'll take a look now.
Thanks so much. I'm looking into fixing this with people from the community.
