Nice. Simple little game. I liked the after image when dashing and I liked the push back when shooting the shotgun. Personally I think things are just a bit too turned up. The controls while responsive, the pushback/dash easily felt like too much. Trying to beat the fire goblins was tricky! Shielding with the cursor felt a little unintuitive but it worked. I wish the shotgun had slightly longer range and less player knockback, felt like I was made out of paper. 

Good job on your game! Keep working on it!

Good start! Congrats on your second game, keep building on it!

Nice little game! Greatly polished, haven't seen what I can really break. Combination of a speedrun timer, movement responsiveness, and camera speed made me want to really fast which didn't combine well with how the game was structured. Using mostly dash to not lose that sense of speed I haven't really touched other mechanics. Going slower the second time gameplay had more thought put in it and was not as dizzying. Shotgun is a bit strange, small attack area and it sends you really far in an opposite direction which usually ends in getting hurt by enemies.

Good job! Keep making games and improving!

The art was nice, the animations were smooth and the gameplay was simple but worked.

I really disliked the camera, as for some reason the square to show where you were facing kept wobbling around, basically having permanent motion shaking. If the game was any longer, I feel like I would be puking. The camera also feels way too smooth, I get that you’re trying to show the scene in front of the player, but in combination with the camera moving when the player moves, as well as with the mouse moving, it just makes it a mess. Perhaps a delay before the camera actually moves, and a range of player/mouse movement that the camera ignores would be good.

Should try to at least put some sound effects in, as I feel something as simple as your attack having a sound effect would be good enough.

I would see this being on minigame websites if more content and fixes were made.

This was a lovely lil' game!

The variety in the enemy movement and attack patterns was really fun to study and work out (yes, I died once on level 3, I was a bit bold), having to dodge some after they start to self-detonate, and close in and get aggressive with others before they completely overwhelmed you with fire. The movement was fluid, and the mobility options of the dash and shotgun being so dramatic in how far they moved you made it feel really unique.

It was cool to see you'd set it up for controller use, although I did stick to ol' trust keyboard and mouse. I didn't encounter any bugs while playing, it was nicely built!

You used the assets well to make the levels interesting to explore, the variety in height needing the player to hunt down the stairs while getting pelted was challenging.

The menus were functional and easy to navigate, I liked the font you chose and I didn't feel lost or confused by the game, which is easy to overlook when laying it out end-to-end.

Definitely agree that some music and sfx would go a long way, but totally appreciate that if you add one sound effect you need to do aaall of them, so I understand why it wasn't prioritised during the short jam time.

Great work, I had fun, and I hope you had fun making it!

The graphics are well polished, and the gameplay feels mostly smooth. I have a few notes, mainly sound. Idk if it just didn't load on my side, but I had no music or sfx as I was playing. I also couldn't tell if it was me killing the enemy, or if they blow up on their own. Something like hitmarkers or something would help. Overall, this is a great submission, especially for your second jam. Good work!

Very polished combat loop, clearly that was the main focus and it shows, it looks and plays well. Definitely feels unfinished though on every other aspects, and not sure how the theme applies here.

Well done!

This game was really fun and cute! it was fun to run around whacking monsters, and the animations were really nice :) the controls felt good to use too ! the only thing is i was a bit confused on how the goblin fire attacks worked, but i still had a pleasant experience :D

This game was very responsive and the art direction is great! I found it pretty straightforward and easy to play. The dash mechanic was my favorite part next to the animation. Good job!

Love the sprite animations on the main guy and the goblin pyromancer, they look really great.

It's simple, but still fun, well done.

Missing the theme a little bit, besides the character being a knight with weapons.
