This is pretty cool, I like the details like the knights shown on the ground. I think you do a good job setting the atmosphere for the game and the mechanics are clean and working well - nice job on this submission!
I remember seeing some of your progress pictures on this in the Discord. It turned out well!
The controls are nice, the graphics have nice touches and the inclusion of pick-ups to gain health or wipe out all the current enemies are a nice addition. The gamepad support is also appreciated!
One issue is that it's difficult to turn and shoot at a nearby skeleton without accidentally walking into their attack. Some games get around this by having a button which, when held, allows the player to aim in any direction without moving.
Other than that, all you'd need is enemy variety and some more power-ups to have a full fledged game. :)
Nice game! Loved the aesthetics and old school gameplay!
Neat and simple yet addicting game!
What a cool music track. I like how you wove these assets together into this desperate last fight against the skeleton horde! It feels tense and dire, 5 stars on the theme for sure. Awesome job!
Great job on this! Feels great to play, only gripe I had was not having omnidirectional movement, but honestly, that really added to the stress and anxiety when fighting! Keep making games :)
It seems we had really similar idea. Even the same assets were used. Check my game when you will have time ;)
Really nice overall.
I think it would be better if you could run in one direction and shoot in other.
Ohh very cool! Definitely similar ideas! I think the big difference is that I was more inspired by old school retro games, so I didn't want to shoot in a different direction or move diagonally. Yours being more inspired by vampire survivor you have those things and a camera that's further out. I didn't even think about vampire survivors, which is crazy cause there's so many similarities!
I like your game a lot! I think your skelly hit SFX is better than mine!
That was hilarious. Coincidentally I played both your games back to back and was like "wait, didn't I already rate this?" 🙃
