Fun idea. had some trouble figuring out at first, but was soon dashing around and bonking enemies with my head. Hard to place my body so I didn't get hurt, but going wild was a lot of fun, with juicy combos.

Very juicy!I thought the head may hit my body at first but it seems that I just need to keep dashing to get a high score.Cool and relaxing.

PayYourTimeThis is a cool game with a lot of juice, but maybe a bit too much, to the point that it hinders gameplay a bit. I felt like there was so much screenshake, lens deformation and particles sometimes that I couldn't aim anything properly, so I just spammed the dash and hope my combo goes as high as possible. It felt a bit random, which is not necessarily a bad thing, I just prefer to keep control of what I'm doing.

CyberForce PsychosisI played another game similar to this and feel that a mix of the two controls would probably be the best version of this kind of game. I liked the graphics and CRT effects. Good juice, was fun but wish there was more (not a bad thing). :)

[sleep debt]Probably the juiciest game I've played from this jam, the combo counter getting bigger than the screen was ridiculous and amazing
It does come at the expense of readability, but frankly, worth it

STELLAR PRICEVery juicy, the revelation that enemies don't even kill me was so fun, like just shredding through hordes of them was so satisfying! Not much else to say, really; Fun presentation, nothing* felt unpolished, and the accessibility option of disabling the crt effect was really cool!
* making WASD work in the main menu would've been nice

Star MinerThis is pretty fun!
- The attack is unique and fun to play around with
- My first time I assumed I could die so I was careful to avoid the baddies, second time I realized I could just go in to a crowd and swing my head around
- The visual effects are cool (I'm a little biased because we went in a similar direction with our visual effects)
- The feedback feel good and satisfying
- I noticed you can still attack after you die and your character disappears

BloodDome99 - Jam VersionThis was fun! The idea of having an invincible player but just to have to fight the chrono for and I high is quite original and addictive.
By the way, I made 606900pts :p (I tried to reach the 100 combo but never could)

The Little PoucetsSo much juice :D my eyes almost exploded! :P
So I ran around in circles smacking people with my head like a tetherball, without repercussion.. I couldn’t understand how or if I was getting hurt although I eventually dead.
