The game feels so good to play!
The simple mechanics are really giving a retro vibe.

At first the single key input register felt very limiting, but after a few minutes of playing it felt like part of the gameplay, which is really nice. I'd say its challenging, but in a fair, balanced way :D

It would be super cool to have more enemy types to spice up things even more!
Overall, I really enjoyed playing, great work!

Very nice to play and very addictive! The gameplay is easy to learn and hard to perfect. Something I recommend if you plan to continue the project after the Jam is to allow the player to shoot in different directions while walking. Anyway, good Job!

It's like Django but without diagonal shooting and power ups to boost the adrenaline play.

You have nice narrative system, but I think it's not really fit with the game genre since it's a bit too slow.

At first I thought it'd automatically shoot like vampire survivor :D

Thanks for playing!

It is a simple and good game! Greatjob! 

I really liked the dungeon/demon theme

Very cool game! I like the pixel art style and the idle animation for the main character holding fireballs in both hands. I'm not sure why, but there were some points where the character didn't seem to respond very well to input, like it was getting stuck on some invisible object. 

Developer

Thanks for checking it out! Not sure about what happened with the input. Maybe some animation issue.

Love the Art style, Sound and Music.
The Animations feel great too, however I think the controls could be improved maybe with the diagonal movement mentioned before. 

In total, very cool and inspiring project!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Nice work! All of your imported assets worked well together and the game was enjoyable to play. It would been nice if you could move diagonally, but that wasn't a deal-breaker. It was real satisfying to kill those skellies

Developer

Thank you!
