Very much enjoyed this! The bouncing knives were fun and the upgrades definitely kept me playing. I appreciated all the options/settings as well.

The setting options was nice. Good game. I did think if your knives hurt you does the enemies weapons hurt them? Would be fair to have friendly fire for the enemies.

Heartbreaker: Cupid's MisadventuresHey there! Cool idea, but I'm not sure I would have been able to find a fun way to balance that with the way I have the scaling designed currently. Maybe if I thought about it at the start of the game development, but the main idea was that your character has a hard time catching their own knives, so that's what I focused on. I'll keep it in mind for next time, it's definitely worth a prototype at least!
Really liked the concept of your weapon bouncing around and hurting you and there is a lot of variety in the different types of upgrades. I really loved how it felt to have a lot of knives bouncing around. It might be good to tweak the upgrades offered so you don't get two options the same. I kept running into duplicates on the upgrade screen. Music was good and I liked the settings screen to adjust the volumes.
