Nice animations and very cool graphics :)

I also think that the balance was a little bit off, but other than that there is nothing to complain about.

Developer

Thank you <3 ! Yeaaah I took the last days doing it ^^' I agree that was a bit insane !!!

Died on 6th wave, score 82 :)

It's a really good game, I like the doom-style 2D enemies, it works out nice! The only "issue" is that often it's hard to know where the enemies are, and it's easy to get stuck in a group of them. Otherwise nice audio, graphics, everything :)

Developer

Thank you ! Oh that's a good score, you did 2/3 of the game (and the last waves are hell) ! I took the time to solve these issues for the not-so-far update :D Thanks for your feedback it's really helpfull !

A great entry, without a doubt!

Really good graphics, nice sound...and a very cool idea, given the theme and limitation. Just to add a bit of feedback, maybe is a subjective thing but I would decrease a bit mouse sensibility, since I found the rotation of the camera too speedy. In any case, a lot of work to be done in 72h, I'm impressed, good jamming!

Developer

Thank you !!! Hum you're right it didn't realised how fast it was ^^' now I see it X'D

Wow, the art is fantastic and the 2D third person in 3D world works Really well imo. I had alot of fun with this entry. Fantastic work. I do not know if there is more than 1 weapon though, I could change attack type at all, the basic attack was pretty good tho.

Thank you !!  Only one attack you're right ! She's a cactus, she throw cactus related stuff only XD

I want to try your game but I seem to be stuck on the start screen.. I cant click start with my mouse. 

I also managed to glitch my way past the start screen to find I can't move with wasd.

I'm playing from  a Microsoft edge browser. 

Love the page setup you got there and the game aesthetics.

Strange ! I'll release a desktop version tomorrow then !! Thank you for the feedback :3

Loved discovering the shadows mechanic, a really nice touch. The 2D art is also professional looking so great job there. The biggest issue is balance, as you're already well aware of. I found myself only ever using the dart and being in a constant state of near death due to how fast the enemies would catch up me.

Overall though, an excellent game! 

Developer

Oh you're right that's becoming insane at some point ^^ I'm glad you enjoyed the game !!!

The idea is original and really cool, the audio is good and the game is challenging and requires aim skills. A solid game, well done.

Developer

Thank you that's super kind :3 !!

Nice spritework and fun game! I managed to get to the 5th wave and I found it pretty difficult overall. It was hard to balance which weapon to use with a max of 20 units of water. The dart was my bread and butter, because everything else had a chance of quickly getting me killed, but the dart wasn't strong enough to hold off the larger waves. I also liked how the sun and shadows made me decide when to run and when to stay put. Great job!

Developer(+1)

Nice job ! There's only 9 waves and the last ones are insane so 5 is a good score <3 The game still need a lot of balance I agreee X'D

Loved the style ! Pretty solid game there ! I would add maybe some feedback when attacking and when you can't attack because you cant pay the cost of the attack. Good game, enjoyed to play  :)

Developer

Oh that’s a good idea I love it ! Thank for your feedback !!! :D

The art is interesting, I like the idea of involving a 2d art in a 3d game.

The audio selection is good and the game pace, I didn't really get into the gameplay, this is not the type of the games I usually play

GL!

Overall, quite a good job, art is top notch ,the only gripe i have is that attacks do not have sound effects. 

Developer

Nice mix of 2D and 3D; looks really good.

But I often seem to get hit, without an enemy near... :(
