Well, I tried. The game was fun and super intense! I died to my own blade A LOT, and have to sit straight to play. XD
I found it a bit hard to control the direction of the blade, not sure if the actions're cursor-based will help.

Love the fact I thought the bullets were things that'd fill my special meter because they seemed to drop when they died! I was wrong clearly XD.
Awesome game tho oof! The music for inspiration makes sense now :')

GET A GRIPReally Awesome game, I'd say it builds up very fast and hard to control near the end. Maybe create a larger arena and have more enemy variety.
Great Game nonetheless

OBLITERATION POINTGreat concept, but the controls are way too frustrating to me :x You could have use LMB to strike, RMB to dodge and space for the ultimate attack. I still managed to use it once, to them died miserably :/ If I tried more I could get used to the controls but if feels unnatural. Great game overwise! Love the scaling of the music and the sounds.

Scrap WarsGreat concept with a clever juggle of the three main things you need to do to survive.

MovingCastleReally great game. Was a bit challenging to get the hang of with the control scheme at first but ended getting around 10k high score after around 10-15 mins of play? (honestly didn't time it)
I don't know if the sawblade should explode or something but it just seems like there's no real reason to ever care that it's the max size, honestly it's even kind of a good thing to keep it that high.
I like the special move addition, if I played even more i feel like I'd eventually learn to take advantage of it more effectively but in my limited playthrough I tended to just use it as a panic heal button more than anything else.
Presentation was the typical Piggy affair, so can't comment on it too much other than well done!

Bonely Way Is UpHow can such a small paddle yeet such a giant saw blade?
Somewhat hard for me but really fun and juicy, as usual.
My only complaint is that I think the direction of the saw after you hit it should depend on your relative position, not on the movement keys you’re pressing at the moment. Or, if you add mouse controls, on the cursor position.
Sick game!

Float Yerr BoatLike always with your games, it's brutally hard but super fun and addicting! xD
Most of the times I died before even getting to the yellow enemies phase but sometimes I died right before the special got charged up lol
