Really cool action and smooth controls! Very fun! I really like how the enemies have hearts above their heads and there is a cool variety of enemy types. Please check out my action game if you have the time~ https://neatgames.itch.io/only-one-arrow

Fun. Idk why but the mouse cursor couldn't stand inside the game window.
I enjoyed this! It feels very polished (ignoring sound) and I like all the little details you've worked on (smoothing out pickups etc). One thing I would add would be a 'maximum damage over time cap', i.e. you can't take full health damage instantly (as that happens later on sometimes). So maybe just cap the maximum damage you can take each tick or something. Good job! A nice challenging game.
Great game! Controller feels good, the spear mechanic is very satisfying when you it land through multiple enemies. The only thing the game is lacking is a bit more music and sound effects. which will make the game even more juicy. I also like the enemies spawn telegraphing and the diversity of enemies as the game progress.
I don't know what counts as a high score, but after playing multiple times my highest score was 3280.
Anyways the game is great. Everything about the game makes it feel like a complete game. The only two things holding the feeling back is the lack of audio and the simple arena tile set. However, I do understand the limits of a 48 hour jam so that's not really a problem.
Gameplay is fun and challenging. However there is a bit of room to expand on this idea. I think a dodge mechanic could have been a nice addition, especially when the game got chaotic. Also it would be cool if there were power-ups that would allow you to call your spear back. it could even be a one time use and you'd have to grab drops from the enemies to refile it. I'm just throwing out ideas
Overall a very polished and fun game. I really enjoyed playing it.
If you have the time and you haven't tried out our entry "Happy Accident". please give it a try: https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/463041
Fun and short timekiller, nicely executed. Please add sound effects and music to it. This would increase the juicyness even more.
Loved the litte details you put effort into, like the lerping of the spear transform if you pick it up and the cool animations.
If you want to, please try our game. We would like to hear your thoughts about it :)

Wow, good work! Really like this little dinosaur. Looks polished!
loved the bullet hell vibe it got after a while but didn't like that the big guys could insta kill me from full health, maybe limit the number of simultaneous hits you can take so it can't just slaughter you at once. got to 1240 points
Very good arcade game, it's fun and challenging hahaha. The art style is neat :D
It could be a bit hard, it needs a bit of balancing, the first enemies move to quick and you are easily swarm by all the other in 30 seconds of play, but overall a really fun and good game. Nice work!
Great game from what I saw but I'm really bad at it. Great first 15 seconds ^^!
Very neat. I like this interpretation of the theme as it encompasses the concept of "normally you have many but now only one" in a perfect fit
Nice work on this one :). It feels pretty polished and has a good visual style. I would've liked some basic sounds or maybe a bit more screenshake (probably a personal preference, though). Overall I think it's nicely made and a great entry.
