Game Description
Shavings is a short platformer where you erase the parts from the bosses to win. After a boss does a certain number of attacks, their part becomes stuck for a few seconds, in that moment, you can dash to erase that part until there are no other parts remaining, then you can erase the core from the Boss.

How does your game tie into the theme?
In the game you will have to erase you enemies parts in order to defeat them.

Hey man, nice job with this game :)
I think the main character (eraser) looked really good, did you draw him yourself?

The controls were not at all intuitive to me until I realised that you are supposed to play with 2 hands on the keyboard 😜 but once I figured that out the jumping and dashing feel really good.

The only problem was I couldn't actually figure out how to damage the bosses, I kept trying to dash into them but it didn't seem to do anything, so maybe add a visual or sound indicator when they take damage so its more obvious.

Overall I liked the game, well done 😊

nice first submission. had to play this simple because I saw that your submitted 6 SECONDS before the deadline!! I didn't defeat a single enemy as it was not clear to me how. It felt like nothing I did changed the boss. Maybe bad timing.

Cute graphics, but guys, the controls are very non-standard. I kept pressing the space bar for jump and couldn't figure out why nothing happens. I had to take some time to search up all the controls on the keyboard.

Cool game! I like the mechanics. At first I didn’t realize you could dash in all directions, which is cool.

I couldn’t figure out if I was damaging the bosses or not? I wish there was a health bar or some indicator that I’ve dealt damage.

Love the aesthetics, was a bit confused by the gameplay (couldn't tell if I was doing anything to the boss, got stuck on the bottom of the map with no way to jump back up.)

I like the visual and music, sadly on the Gradient boss fight the music didn't loop , also for unknow reason the boss body part always flew somewhere and never come back so i couldn't finish this fight (every times i try it).  Crop boss is almost harmless, lasso boss is really great the only downside on him is the hitbox of the patern like the screenshot with the two spikes, this patern can hit before the visual of the spike cross the characters
