How does your game fit the theme?
You lose your sanity and lose your breath while moving. To regain sanity you need to stand still, calm down and take a deep breath. While low on breath you also have worse aim. Breath also influences your vision, couple of random things on map and that's it.

I like the horror aspect of it actually and incorporating mental sanity with breathing is apretty solid concept. Well done on that, props to creativity.

You managed to create a great scary atmosphere. Attacks could have more visual feedback for clarity. Good job for also implementing leaderboard! Overall nice jam entry.

As I opened the page I was hit with the 'WARNING!' it triggered my flight or fight response man😂 

A bit too difficult imo, but I feel like that was only due to too much damage in a single enemy hit & potions not easily available.

The auto-breathing is a good touch as we already have too many things to worry about so just standing still is the perfect way to regain sanity. 

I like the dark dungeon environment & the indiana jones character haha.

Congrats on getting a game out mate, well done! :)

Thanks for the kind review! 

I'm sorry for the unfortunate warning message 😅

I actually intended the game to be really difficult and I'm partially glad I achieved that, partially kinda annoyed cause people will think of it negatively..

I'll pass on your message towards the artist!

Have a great day!

Ah well if you intended the game to be hard then it does that well but since its a jam game, hardcore games are hard to understand in jams 😅 You too!

Nice take on the wave-survival formula 

Developer

Thanks! I hope you found the game difficult :P

it’s very difficult to survive when the shooters appear

Developer

That's the goal :P

Good game, nice concept for the theme!

Developer

Glad you like it!

I thinkt the concept is intriguing but the gameplay is lacking a bit. For instance the lack of animations on the character makes it hard to understand what you are doing. When you attack in melee there is always a splatter of blood even if you are not hitting anything. 

Developer

We ran out of time so this still was a placeholder.. Thanks for the opinion tho!

It's a little annoying that AI is stupid. Sometimes you have to look for the enemy all over the map so that the wave ends.

Overall a good game, but needs some work.

Developer

The ai isn't that bad. The enemy is slow sometimes. Thanks for the opinion though!
