Got to 174, but no gamepad available to use, I may try harder later!

I LOVE the leaderboard I find it really gives the “just one more game” I love (I used to do leaderboards but Playfab seems broken now for me)

The game is simple and really fun, here are a few tips of improvements : -For pixel art assets, you should disable the bilinear filtering in the assets import settings, it would prevent the blurry skeletons 😉 -Add mouse support for aiming, lots of people have controlle, but almost 100% of the itch players (except on mobile) have a mouse -Check the shape and size of the characters colliders, I often dragged ennemies when not even touching them (I assume it is the players collider that is too big since enemies seem to evade the needle easily) -Add a cooldown for the damage noise to prevent the weird noise from repeating every frame

Great submission!

Hey thanks for the feedback! I know there's definitely some bugs and other things we need to address. I will probably implement some bug fixes and add more complete keyboard support in the near future after the jam has concluded.

I did not have gamepad so it was quite challanging to survive long.  Game work as it should be, but dash is too fast i think. Music is quite interesting;)

I love the music our composer does it always seems to be the best.

Nice work. clean game, worked as intended. I don't have a gamepad at the moment, so I could only shoot up. I might try and get my hand on one.

I wandered off into the green void and was never seen or heard from again.

I was running from these strange people in cloaks for a while, then bones flew out of me and needles were flying everywhere. Eventually, they killed me, but I seem to have taken a few hundred of them with me. Phew.

This was really fun! At some point there were enough mobs to slow down the whole game but I think I was invincible at that point lol
