I found it fun, congratulations!
It might be interesting to add new weapons, each with a different difficulty to handle.
Thanks! That idea sounds great!
Nice job! This game was pretty fun! Nice challenge! I also really enjoyed using just the mouse, it was a new experience of things kind of gameplay and felt very natural!
I'm glad you liked it! ^^
Awesome work. I appreciate how good the controls felt while only using the mouse. Some really clever design choices and overall really enjoyable to play. Hope you keep working on this or at least use the physics work for a future project.
I really enjoyed making this game! Now I work on the post-jam version based your valuable oppininons! Thanks for the play! ^^
Nice game. Progression felt a little slow so it was a bit difficult to restart after losing on wave 9! A bit of screenshake might help make killing ememies more enjoyable, but otherwise great take on the theme and quite original :)
Thanks! I noticed that the screenshake is too little, but I get quick dizzy. Yeah, the progression is too slow, I didn't have time to make difficulties, but in the post-jam version there are 3 difficulty modes.
Very enjoyable, the sounds and animations were simple but on point. Good job given the time limit :).
I think it’d be more challenging if you did not allow the player to leave the main “battleground”. Also, you could prevent players from picking extra health when they don’t need it. I can’t complain about being invincible though, that way I could swing to my heart’s content.
Good take on the theme!
Thanks! ^^ Good ideas!
Love it! Reminds me of an old and really fun game called Hammerfight! I wish there was a bit more enemy variety and maybe some physics, but great job!
Thanks! I didn't have enough time, to add enemy varieties! :(
fun game and good concept.
Very good to hear that! ^^
@LeviMakesGames very good mechanic although updating the art would make it much better :) overall good job :D
I'm glad you liked it!
Cool controls and nicely take on the theme. I died on the wave 8 :(
Thanks!
Yes, a flail game ! I've seen a lot of games that tried to add some strange mechanics to that (with platformers, obstacle-only, stuff like that), but finally, I've found just a brutal flail to swing in the enemies face !
The concept is simple, but effective, and I liked having a lot of space to swing, while needing to maneuver carefully -but quickly- when the enemies were closer. Also, compared to other similar games, I really liked that the play was invincible and needed to protect something else, it made swinging the flail without worrying really fun !
Seeing that people actually cares, enjoys the product made just by your mind is really what I wanted to reach with the game develpment. When I reached this milestone, I cannot say anything. So just: Thanks!
This is an interesting way to combine waves and the theme -- great job! I had fun playing, and I think the 4 squares in the center do a good job of forcing the player to come up with a plan. Nice work.
I'm glad you liked it!^^
Very fun game with a great concept. I quite like these mace swinging games and thought your blocking boxes was a good idea to prevent players from just constantly spinning in the middle. The mace took a tiny bit too long to spin up for me which made it feel very annoying when you hit a box. There is a glitch where the mace can get stuck behind one of the boxes in which case the ropes start shooting around and the mace won't get dislodged. I'd love if when you hit enemies with the mace you got a little screen shake and a bit more of a bass-y sound, but that's real minor stuff. Great job!
Thank you so much for this to write down, it means for me so much! There are some vignette effect in the post-jam version, when you hit an enemy, or taked damage.
Nice game and very well designed. You always know when you will win, so if you lose and you were in the 9th wave you can say to you, I was too close, next time I will beat it. Also I like that pillows near your "heart", so it is harder to manipulate with the mace. And last thing that I liked was slowing the time, when you get hit, so you have kill some enemies and don't die at one second just because you left 3 enemies near your health.
Also everything is well polished, good job.
I'm glad that you noticed these things. I didn't have enough time to polish, but I loved to shared the post-jam update! :) Couldn't wait. I hope you come back! :)
Yes, can't wait
The idea is good and the visuals and sounds are nice too, but I have difficulties with the controls haha
Thanks, bro! ^^
it was a funny experience! cleared all 10 waves and enjoyed it a lot
the controls are smooth and I really feel immersed in the gameplay
right now is a bit easy, but you have a proof of concept! great job! =)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! ^^ I don't want to make too hard. In the post-jam version you can choose difficulties
I think this is possibly the only buttonless game in this jam, so awesome idea there. It would probably be pretty easy to make a mobile version of this. I also do enjoy flails quite a bit, and it is pretty fun to fling it around.
It did bother me a bit that the red color was used on the health pickup sparkles, but not the health pickup itself. I makes it feels like the lack of a health pickup is more attention-worthy than having one available.
Great Job!
Thank you so much! Great ideas! I will make it to mobile too!
Fun game! I really enjoyed the combat. Some screenshake wuld have enhanced it even more. Very nice game!
Thanks, there is screen shake, just a bit less. I get quick dizzy °°
Oh, my bad. Cool!
While the art is simple, I very much enjoyed this game. The game feedback loop is addicting and I enjoyed killing off enemies. Nice submission :D
Thanks, bro!
This was a really enjoyable game, I loved swinging the mace around! ~ Do check mine and give your valueable feedback:D
Thank you, so much! ^^
I had tremendous fun with this
Thanks, man. It is very good to see, that people actually enjoyed my work! ^^
