This was really fun to play. The fact that you can keep playing after the level 20 makes it way cooler!

Nice entry!, I like the juice on the knife attack

Wow! So weird and so brilliant. The upbeat music, bright and cartoony art, and fast paced gameplay all fit perfectly together! I think it would be cool to add different weapons to the game. Could you check out my game? I would like feedback from a great developer like you!

Whoa cool!
Slowing down time during the wind-up is a really nice touch, the automatic aim made me feel better at the game than I am!

good idea, very fun :)

Thanks for feedback :)

Being able to spam click makes this quite easy.

I had fun. At first I thought it looks reaaaaally simple, and dull but the juice (bounciness, effects, transitions) is there and it's what makes this game great.

However, I have this odd feeling, that the game might be better if the knife/sword was more precise (so it wouldn't be that random) and the game more dynamic to accomodate that. But I know, that it was a deliberate decision to make it so and it makes this game more adhere to the theme and I respect that.

Great job, overall!

At first I was like what??? then I really got into it! Good job!

Very addicting, but if you just spam left-click you will pop all the balloons

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback. You're right, I should have limited the amount of times you can use the "dash".

It took me some time to figure out how best to get up and that there is gravity. The topic was implemented really well here and the music / sounds make a well-rounded package. Good work!

I had a lot of fun. Very cute. It's definitely addicting. Kinda want to play it on my phone now too haha. Good job!

Thanks for the feedback, it really looks really cool on the phone hahaha :)

Cool concept and the game feels pretty great. Good work.

Out of all the games I've reviewed for this jam, this is the most addicting. After reaching level 130, I decided to take a break. 


Suggestions: Maybe add more types of balloons later on? Two knifes at once? I'm not sure but I hope you go far with this one.


Please rate my game as well! Looking for feedback since we kind of rushed it out.

Thanks for the feedbaack, and the video <3. Omg, you passed my record, sometimes I was playing and my record was 90. I was thinking about adding new types of balloons, if someone looks in the game files, they will see 2 more types of balloons hahaha. I didn't have time to implement them, sorry.

Thank you very much for the feedback. I'll see your game :)

I liked the style and satisfying feel of the game. Nice job!

Submitted(+1)

Fun! Polished and felt really nice.

Submitted(+1)

I like the way you made the knife move. It was definitely out of control, yet still possible to use.

Submitted(+2)

Really fun! The sound are really satisfying and the art is great. The only thing I would change is add a limit to the number of time you can make the sword fly. Without it, almost all levels can be beat by clicking over and over. Other then that, a really fun game!

Developer

Thank you very much, especially for the criticism, I will try to improve the game design for the next jam :)

Submitted(+1)

No problem :) 

Submitted

Yeah I agree with @Zelora03, if you spam click it trivializes the game. Add a cooldown to the click and it'll greatly improve the game and add to the out of control feeling

Really liked this one! I think this would be great on a smartphone!
