I thought the story idea was great.  I love the idea of a homicidal donkey baron sallying forth to teach the peasants what-for.  I found the controls a bit awkward, though, and got trapped in a state were I couldn't move and my character wouldn't die.

I think the core gameplay is really good, it's fun to play (even if the main character doesn't seem to be exactly the nicest person out there).

Sadly, the game froze on me couple times on death, so I didn't finish it. I do hope you will fix it after the jam though, it's a very promising project!

Impressive scope and fun gameplay. Very nice

Thanks! That's a great compliment.

This was a surprisingly well thought-out entry: the mechanics interacted in a clever way (dodge and block both cost stamina, blocking slows speed, attacks move guys, purging fixes movement, etc), the narrative was compelling in a dark and twisted way, and I got a laugh about the source of energy because I didn’t pick up on the visual cues of the main character initially.

Thank you. We talked quite a bit about the tradeoffs in the mechanics and I'm glad you found them to be compelling.  And thanks for not spoiling the ending in the comments!

It was really cool to see a take on the top down action game that was melee based. I've played a lot of these where you shoot projectiles, and it was a new and challenging experience to get up close and personal with the enemies. It was a nice touch to signpost the enemies attacks which i felt made the combat fair while still retaining the challenge.

I know in these game jams we are probably already aware of all the bugs and just didn't have time to fix them, but when i died and kept getting stabbed my health meter just kept increasing with empty health segments. I could also keep stabbing but could not move. I'm certain you are aware but just mentioning it in the very small chance you hadn't seen it happen.

I like the unique character design.

I had a great time burninating the peasants in their thatch-roof cottages!

Thanks for the feedback! Yes we found this bug just after the deadline. I'd hotfix it but I know that may be against the rules so we'll just have to leave it warts and all haha.

Well done! I like the YARK sound effects from the enemys xD

Thanks! I'll be sure to reuse that one in future jams lol.
