Great game ! However i think you should add a cooldown to the attacks so we can't spam them and push ennemies. Well done though :)

This sort of reminds me of Boomeraxe. Great game! I would make enemies not be affected by knockback from the player, just be harmed by the skull, otherwise I cna just spam the attack to never be hit by enemies and just have to avoid arrows and spikes. I could see a lot of improvement here!

Phew this game was hard but it was so good too. It felt so good to line up my hits against the skull to destroy a whole group!

Great game! Very challenging, and the feeling of having a hoard of enemies getting crushed by the skull is incredible hahahaha 

At first I didn't realize that the skull was getting bigger as I was hitting it, but once I got it everything made sense. I liked the idea of the level scaling up to move to next phase, great one! Congrats folks!

The game is great overall, but I would change the sounds to be less ear piercing. I'm waiting for the next update to play with the new characters!

Nice!

Great submission! The level suddenly expanding after a certain amount of hits is a surprising moment that adds a lot of life to the game. At first I thought that I had to defeat enemies to advance, but once I understood that I had to hit the skull, I had a smooth experience.

Props to all the devs that made this!

Literally the best submission I played so far

This is a great game! I got addicted pretty quickly and kept dying on the last level haha. It's probably just a skill issue, but honestly everything works together really well and there's a lot to balance when you get to the last level with how many projectiles and enemies are coming at you but I enjoyed the challenge!

Great job to the dev team!

I loved it, so much fun. I was surprised at how the levels change. A nice difficulty curve. I lost several times, but I managed to finish it at least once.

Very cool idea! I already enjoyed the core gameplay loop, the first transition cought me off guard lol. really enjoyed the unexpected twist, revolving perfectly around the jams theme! ^^

Fantastic art, level design, music, AND creativity. Everyone who worked on this should be proud. Maybe make the player move a bit faster?

the wall falling down was a true “wow” moment ! the mechanic is simple yet enjoyable quickly ! thank you for this nice game !

Incredible! I love the idea and the realisation.

There are problem in the collision between our slash and the skullball though. Also I don't know what happened but at one moment I didn't have any music. Restarting the page made the music return.

I didn't read the description before playing so I didn't expect the wall to extend. I was really surprised, that was great.

THIS IS VERY GOOD!!

That was fun! Took me like 5 attempts to beat the game, at first I didn't realize you had to hit that ball and thought it was just about killing enemies, but when I finally figured out hitting the ball advances the level then the game became a lot more fun. It was pretty tough near the end, a nice challenge. Good conscious game design decisions too like giving the player invincibility from the ball after hitting it for a short window (at least I'm pretty sure that was a thing)
