Very satisfying slashing apart the enemies.

Wasn't sure the what the colours of different weapons denoted.

Different weapons have different reaches and speed.

No web build!?

Funny premise and great work!

Definitely not a game for being nice towards wrist RSI ahahahaha! I avoided this by instead mashing click on my second mouse while kiting the enemies and made it to wave 26, then tried to run to the end of the world (did not succeed). I liked the jesters faces!

Unassuming Tower Game

The music slapped and it was very satisfying to cut through a ton of enemies especially with that hit slow effect you added. I made it to wave 10 but I think I died not because the waves got too hard but because my arm got too tired LOL, this game takes real muscle.
