Very fun game, really enjoyed the visuals and gameplay.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
VERY cool game, really enjoyed killing enemies with the hot ball! Some kind of anti-stress game:) The use of the theme is gorgeous, as well as the graphics! Overall, gave it all a 5 star rating!
P.S: Can you rate my game, please?
Wow! Thank you! That really means a lot! I'll totally play/rate your game! Thank you for playing and rating my game!
Thank you :)
Very cool game, I liked the physics and the gameplay!
Thank you!
Amazing game! This is my favorite game in this jam so far. Great job dude!
Holy cow! Thank you! That means a lot!
Had a blast! I loved the physics, especially the bones. Found it funny how guards dove into lava to try to get to me in some of the later levels, but understandably, pathfinding would have been tricky to implement in such a short time and might not have been noticed that much.
Haha yeah the pathfinding was giving me grief so I didn't have time to fine-tune it. Glad you still enjoyed the game! Thank you for playing and leaving feedback!
it's adictive.great!
Glad you like it! Thanks for playing and leaving a nice comment!
This game is amazing! So much visual juice and fun game play! Great work.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the game!
Fun lil game - i did find the spin wasnt particularly useful, spamming the whip was far more effective.
Glad you liked it! Yeah, the spin move could use a buff for sure. Maybe in the next DLC. Haha
Love the gameplay and visuals! The concept of chain as main weapon is kinda interesting
Thank you! I'm so glad you like my game!
Good game, I really like the fire. And the physics are good, you just slay at the oppisite side. Great Job!
Thank you for playing my game and leaving a nice comment!
Amazing game. I'm impressed by how much you've accomplished in just 3 days. I really like how the opponents splatter when hit by the ball.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it! And I'm glad someone liked the splattering enemies haha
I like it. The ball and chain used as a weapon is fun.
Okay! I got the idea!!! love the chain movement. and also how you make it as weapon. What an underrated game
Thank you for playing my game! Glad you enjoyed it!
This game has given me so many ideas, you have no idea! It's fun to try to beat the game without heating up your ball or use spacebar. Great game
Wow! Thanks for playing my game and leaving such a nice comment! So glad it inspired you! And those are great ideas for challenges!
Ez. (9% hp at the end ahahah) That was great! Love the concept and the mechanic works so well. I was pleasantly surprised to see a “puzzle” level when you have to heat up the boulder then navigate between water sections <3 Had fun wp <3
XD Glad you had fun playing! And I'm glad someone liked the puzzle room! Thank you for taking the time to play my game and leave some feedback!
really awesome game. the concept... the use of the theme.. the gameplay... all amazing. great job
Wow! Thank you for that amazing comment! I'm so glad you liked playing!
Really fun physics combat! Great job on the chain physics it felt really fun, especially with the spinning move and pushing the enemies out of the way. Loved the bones and blood splatter effect too!
Thank you!!! Dang! You crushed it! You picked up the rhythm quick! Thanks for including the video! Super fun to watch someone else play for once haha
this was so fun! loved the use of the lava for doing more damage and the attack was really smooth with how to ball was moving and launching!
Wow! Thanks! I'm so glad you had fun playing my game!
best game so far
Wow! Thank you!!!
Fun game! Love the use of the lava to "heat" the ball and do more damage.
Hey, thanks! I appreciate that
