I'll send you the doctors bill for the cramp in my hand. Surprisingly addicting.

Send it to Nub, I don't have health insurance

Had a lot of fun with this one and started to get deeper into the levels where it was pure chaos (loved that). At first I thought i could go all the way with just the primary attack upgrades but that would have been a bad idea.

Minor critiques with gameplay... I think polish around the interface around the special attacks could really amp this up.

Love everything about it! You nailed it mate!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing!

Awesome! loved it!

It can't stand up to Melon Husk, but I'm glad you liked it ;)

Fun game, solid artstyle. Using skills felt jank at first, but I got used to it really quickly and that's where the fun began.

Your honor, I did not try to pick up that bone.

Developer(+2)

You tried, I know it 😤Thanks for playing!

This is great! Really liked the artwork.

Developer

Thank you ❤️

Beautiful graphics and the skills made a very good impression. Overall everything was fine. The difficulty curve is steady and not too difficult. The different opponents and their movements were interesting. I got along quickly.

But I stopped at level 13 after I bought all the skills. Then things got pretty hectic. I would prefer if the skills activated automatically. Then maybe offer the activation time in the shop to improve it.

This game could be a mini-game from the original Kingdom Classic game. Good job.

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much for playing and the feedback! I recently just played Kingdom Two Crowns with the GF, so It definitely has a hand in inspiration 😂

Developer

We didn't really want to have a true end, but just a "get as far as you can" style for this Jam. The enemy enemy health scales to the power of 2, so eventually it'd be impossible haha. I'm glad you liked it!

I like the art style and the spooky music of the game! The fake bones on the ground was a funny touch lol. I like the physics of the gibs its quite fun to fling it into the portal hehe. Gibs is such a funny word too. I like that I can just spam the bullets. I got jumpscared by the spinny jumpy leg o.o it had me moving in such a panic. Not sure if there is an end to the game, my hand got tired clicking after about wave 15 where the difficulty seemed to stay around the same. All in all a pretty polished and game with awesome UI. Great work!

Developer(+1)

We spent a lot of time ironing out bugs so I'm glad it felt polished! Overall the game is intended to get too hard to beat, and honestly I think wave 15 is the furthest I've heard! If you were still winning around then, you might have the high score haha.

Very fun game! The skills are unique and fun. The mechanics of collecting pieces is very satisfying! Only be careful with assigning input to the middle mouse click as it is impossible for most laptop users.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing, and thanks for stopping by the stream! Sorry that you had to dig out a mouse to play, will think of ways in the future to use something other than MMB

Submitted(+1)

Really fun game. Killing enemies feels fun satisfying and the skills feel creative and meaningful. Played for a long time.

Good Game!

"Not a gibb, stoopid" haha :D This is such a fun and good idea ! 

- I unlocked all the abilities hehe.

- It was difficult to get used to using the abilities at first, but was super fun once I'd gotten the hang of it

- The skill tree kept me really motivated to keep playing until I had all of them 

- It was difficult to know if the acid upgrades were doing anything, maybe i missed it, but seeing how much damage it goes up by when you upgrade would be great! 

- The art is really cool! It made me laugh when the disembodied spinny legs came flying out haha 

You should be really proud of this one! 

Developer(+1)

I agree that it would be better if the acid shots told you what damage they did and how much they were upgraded. If we keep working on it I think better feedback on the incremental upgrades would be a good idea. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Good stuff! A bit repetitive after you unlock all the skills. I also forgot to collect gibs once or twice, so it may be nicer to automatically fling them in to the portal as I don't see the purpose of doing it myself.

Well done!

Developer

Nub and I really enjoyed the mechanic of picking up and throwing the gibs into the portal. It's like a fun little mini game that you don't even realize you're playing. I think we may lose a bit of the game's flavor if we let the player auto-collect gibs, but it might be nice to warn them some are missing! Thanks for your feedback and thanks for playing!

it's a bop :)

I really liked this a lot!

"Not a gibb, Stoopid" made me laugh, Thanks for this really cool game! The game is fun, The music and SFX are decent, and the art style is so nice.Overall really great job, and keep it up! 

Developer(+1)

Got somebody with the fake gib, nice 😂 Thank you for playing and the kind words! 

Submitted

Good game, but I accidentally clicked on a portal and didn't collect all the pieces a couple of times. It would be nice if you could see the skill countdown.

Developer

Appreciate you playing. Thanks for the feedback!

but as much as i like the game i had a hard time finding needles in the game i couldnt find one but regardless i like the game so much i can just ignore that fact

Developer(+1)

It's a little hard to see, but in the "upgrade" mode the necromancer is running a little sewing machine. Our idea was that he is using the body parts to sew together the runes/books needed to purchase the upgrades. I'm still updating the game a little so maybe I can make it more clear

ooh yeah nice I didn't  notice that but nice detail

(+1)

i played your game with low expectations and after i started to play i couldnt stop playing in instantly became one of my favorite casual games i just cant stop appriciating you for this masterpeice i think you turn this into an actual game please release a full version with more modes and more skills and can keep me busy for days or months it is a 5 star game for me i know this comment is little too big but i just had to express my enjoyment and appriciate you so much

Developer(+1)

I'm really glad you're enjoying it! Nub and I had a lot of fun making it so far, and if it gets enough interest maybe we'll keep working on it after the Jam :)

yeah it will surely get interest it is not only me who enjoyed it but me and my friends were playing it together yesterday
