Really polished! The attack mechanic simple as it is, was really well implemented and fun! Great job!
Really pretty pixel art game. Spinning flail looks really nice and isn't annoying to use. Sadly there isn't any UI to tell player things such as current health or anything else. Also some checkpoints would be nice since doing every stage again every time you die is not a great thing. Overall nice game. Good job.
Love the art! My main critique is that all the enemies are fairly trivial to deal with? I'd like more different enemies to fight.
Good work!
Pretty good. The ball changing with your condition, altering its mass and such are all amazing. However, the combat itself needs a bit more polish, as well as sound effects and haptics. Other than that, I think it is very creative, and well stylised.
The massive spinning ball is so cool!!!
The bloody mace is fun to use~ :D
Seeing a screen full of enemies clear out in a blink are so satisfy~
I accidentally caused a mass chain explosion during the undead section too!
Overall a fun game to play. ( ' v')b
However I think the game can be elevated by adding SFX when hitting the enemies. I barely feel any impact when hitting the enemies with a big bloody mace, and I think lack of SFX have something to do with this.
Great concept! Loved the animation of the attacks and how the mechanics worked!
Love it when a mechanic is multi-purpose, weapon/transportation, very satisfying to use! Great job :)
I like the art style! The weapon is very creative.
The art is simple and cute! Hp indicator would've been nice, dying came a bit surprised me! The weapon was fun to use!
Looks cool, I like playing as for some reason naked Power from CSM
Cool art, not so much for the game though haha
What issues did you have with the game? We'd love to have some specific constructive feedback on what we can improve! Glad you loved the art.
Sorry for not giving more detailed feedback earlier. Here’s what I think: The movement in the game feels a bit clunky, and it would be cool to have some attack variety, like a spin attack with the ball. Stuff like that can make the gameplay more interesting and usually doesn’t take too much time to add (well, usually... but game jams are tight on time, haha). For the enemies, they’re a bit too similar, except for the bats and the vampire. Adding more variety in their behaviors or designs could help. Also, a bit more variety in the terrain might keep things more engaging. Overall, there’s a lot of repetition that makes the game feel a bit monotonous. But it’s not that bad though, just a few tweaks could make the game more exciting!
Hehe, nice idea, giving me Elfen Lied vibes. I also liked how the rope gets longer and the ball smaller as you take damage, which makes it both easier and harder to play at the same time. Good job!
Cool artstyle. And I like the attack.
I love the chainsaw man reference!
Mace good!
Great art! (:
"I only enjoy the company of cats. I hate humans. It’s not a matter of personal grievance. My hatred is almost like a demonic instinct"
Really nice artstyle and game sprites. The player character reminds me of Power from Chainsaw Man with the blood based abilities and everything. Great concept, it was really fun!
Very nice gameplay! love it.
