Yes

Summarise your game!
You are the mighty Meowlnir, hammer of legend! Thor has been tricked by his nefarious brother Loki and is trapped in the maze of Jotunheim. Battle the Jotuns, get to Thor, and help him escape!

The only controls are to move! Navigate the Jotun maze by following Hugin & Munin to find Thor. Choose weapons and upgrades as you level up by defeating the Jotuns.

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
I've always been inspired by Thor and his magical hammer of Norse legend (and have a replica on my desk). If I am to be a weapon, I'd want to be none other than mighty Mjolnir!

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
I'd like the judges to have fun!

Super fun time! Really juicy game feel, great power fantasy for the player. Lifesteal meant my HP never went below max, though, and things started to lag like crazy during the last wave, but overall really enjoyed it. Cute art style and great sound design too.

Submitted

Cool wave survival game you got! I like the humor a lot!

One thing I'll note, is that I like the idea of slamming into enemies to damage them, but the life steal perks makes this completely overpowered.

Other than that, it was quite fun! Good job!

I like the gameplay, but it's kinda tough on my computer past wave 10. I lost about three or four times due to my fps dropping to 5 frames because I couldn't kill enemies fast enough. Still, I had fun with it and the special skills you implemented. Good job!

The gameplay is great, but some monsters spawn in the sea

Great game. I found it a little too easy, and I had the rainbow beam bug with an infinite charge that didn't fix until upgrading it. Pausing also messes with the beam. These things aside, I greatly enjoyed my time playing it!

Looks like a good basis to take off. The sound effects hit hard.

As mentioned before. The enemies don’t appear to be any danger you once you hit the life steal perk.

Then it just becomes a labarinth game.

At wave 23 i also had some serious frame drops.

As a side note: Not that i dislike the cats, but thematically it is confusing. Why is thor a cat?

Needs more cats

Ask and receive! Dropped an update with more cats, enjoy!

Really fun! I enjoyed how simple it was and easy to pick up. Also, the music was pretty great.

Developer

Indeed! I'm not good at audio and spent far too long looking for music. Really grateful to find Michael "michitheonlyone" Ihde on Pixabay, their music is awesome and was just the vibe I was looking for!

Really nice job on all the particles, effects, and sounds. Only complaint is the game felt easy from the beginning, needs a good power curve like Vampior Survivors. Your UI elements look really polished! Very good job!!!

Developer

Thanks for your kind words! Alas proper balancing would take more time than I have. I'd rather have a jam game too easy than too hard. I did a simple update, might be slightly more challenging now.

Submitted

Yeah balancing takes a very long time!

Damn that sound effect on the Bifrost is MEATY. Loved especially the ability selection cards, very nice visuals. The game would benefit from some balancing, as I found myself to be pretty much invincible after just a few levels. Good job!

Submitted(+1)

interesting vampire survivors like, I felt like the balancing was way off though and after only 3 levels i could kinda just afk.

I really enjoyed this! Nicely done!
