My highscore is 240 points :D. I really enjoyed it, but i would implement more enemies! Great work!
Really loved the effects it made the game feel great! Also mechanics were good ball had a nice weight to it. Just generally quite a moreish game, lots of fun!
It was pretty fun until I figured out I could just always be on the opposite side of the spike ball and the bad guys would just run right into it. Neat idea with a lot of potential for sure!
I love this game !
The amount of juice is sick and the physic is really cool !
Rly cool game you'll easilly be part of the top 150
The presentation is top notch :D I love the dynamic with the mace. Its a risk reward kind of connection :d. This game only needs more content and variation then its done. Great work well done :D
The mace controls were unwieldy but that felt good - a giant spike ball should be. I kinda wish there was some sort of health rather than just insta-kill, but the game was fun. Nice job with the audio as well.
super juicy feeling game. what could have been just another high score-athon is massively improved by the fantastic game feel, from the punchy sounds to the great visual feedback, the game feels fantastic to play. Good Job!
Pretty fun! The music and effects were great. I think your resolution for either the html frame or the build need to be adjusted since you can move out of the visible area, but great job.
Yeah, sorry about the frame size. This was my first game jam and the first game I've ever uploaded to itch.io, and I only noticed the frame size after the jam was over.
This was really fun! I like the dynamic that the flail also kills you, so in a way it becomes a secondary enemy
Loved the art but the ball moves a little to fast on the small screen. Wished the instructions were more clear at the beginning as well.
This is an amazing game, I liked how you made the mace swing, it is very challenging. I like it.
This is a great concept for a game. Love the idea.
And the idea is very well executed too, had a great time playing. Swinging the mace around is very satisfying.
Well done!
Think all this needs is some more variation and its a really neat game! Polish with the camera shake is really nice as well as the particles, well done!
nice! the mechanics feel great, the art is amazing, and the camera shake is a nice touch. with more enemy types this could keep me entertained for a while!
I love the art and the sound design, the mechanic is also really fan and hard to master
i will definitely be playing later
Fun! Highest I got was 250, don't know if there is supposed to be more enemies after a while, but I couldnt find any.
Really fun!
Wow this is super fun! Loved the idea, the controls feel grat!
Really nice game, this is really something else! Congrats
Really nice! Great art and juice. I reviewed yours, make sure you return the favor! https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2021/rate/1081519
Well done! I can feel the physics in the game when pulling the spikes ball which makes even better :)
