Very cool game! Very cute art. The game is really hard tho...

I love the idea, it reminds me of Hades by Supergiant, where every god has their own mechanics you can identify them by! I think it needs to be clearer what each effect does though, I have not felt a difference for most of the time.

Also a thing to think about: Why would I use my sword if the sling is better in any way? Think about the decision the player has to make to choose which weapon to use and how to make that choice interesting!

So I really like the concept and I love how it would fit into the theme.  I had a hard time telling what the gods whims were actually doing to the fight (other than once someone specifically added a chicken and once undead).  I would clarify those statements a bit.   The sword slash definitely needs to be more visible and I would give it an arc, I need a reason to use that outside of just spamming shots and running away.  I can definitely see a fully fleshed out fun game here, and I am excited to see where you go with it.

The visuals look okay but could be more punchy. I think it's a great idea, the Waves of monsters and each time a judge places a different condition; but it was executed poorly in the game play and choice of music. Fighting a horde of monsters shouldn't feel like watching a youtube kids video

Interesting idea, I think it has potential if you fleshed out the gods a bit more. The gamefeel could do some work, specifically hit impacts and the sword swing need a lot more juice.

Nice, top-down brawlers is my weakness! hahah, I loved the Gods idea who can change things as they want. This creates nice possibilities, such as:
- God of time: only does events related to time (slow down, speed up, etc)
- God of thunder: casts lightning bolts on the scenario
etc

As a feedback, I would make the sword slash faster and bigger.

Good job!

Found a bug where the sound keeps playing when the event pops up. Else, fun game!

Cool game! If you continue working on it, I think giving the player a little more feedback, like when an attack hits or upping the impact of the effects of some of the gods, would go a long way!

me: is 3s in the arena
that one god: you should already be dead
me: ...i feel offended...

fun, but i don't think every event do something special so you should only keep the real important ones because it's each time an interruption in the gameplay.

Really unique take on the theme and the game was pretty fun. This might sound too critical but I'm going to give you a lot of feedback so you can really improve the game next time! First, the combat felt quite strange since the player only had 4 directions to attack in and the sword animation was almost unnoticeable.  The sword animation should have definitely been a swing rather than a poke which looked strange and was not satisfying at all which made combat quite bland. I did like the ranged attack a lot more since it had a nice sound effect and animation but it could also do with quite a lot more polish. There also should have also been some kind of particle effect or animation for when you hit an enemy rather making them just disappear, everything you do in combat should give at least some kind of visual feedback. Another area for improvement is the pixel art. I think that the shapes themselves are usually fine but the lack of shading makes the game seem very flat and unrealistic which means that the player has a harder time immersing themselves in the world. A lot of the pixel art is really good, such as the masked God, and the poses are really natural, but the faces need a lot of work to look more realistic. Also make sure you change the filter settings to point(no filter) on all the images since some of the pixel art was a bit blurry. I think the game does have a lot of potential, the highlight of it was definitely the God's comments which were very funny and your own original idea, although I would have liked some more interaction with the Gods, possibly pleasing them to get buffs or angering them and then facing their attacks. Overall I did enjoy the game and although it was not very polished, I think if you do these improvements it could be a huge success, good job!

The concept is good but the concept is hard and a little stressful, beacause ennemies are fast, have a long and circular range when the player has a little and four-directions-range. I made all the game with the slingshot… Also, we don’t really see the differences between all hazards, more variety will be welcome. The game has a lot of potential, good luck !

I think the idea of Gods affecting the arena is an idea with potential. I think what the game needs most right now is variety. A very long time can pass in the game without new elements being introduced or something to shake up the gameplay from being "kite enemies around until you kill them".

Good luck with further development!
