The derpy goblins were super cute and knocking them out of the air was fun. Even though I saw the note about the hotbar in the tutorial screen I ended up not using it much because it was hard to do that plus run the mouse (on a laptop).

- The game features a really cute art style, and the sound effects were well-done. The added strategic element of the three-dash limit felt quite challenging at first, but after a few minutes of play, I got used to it. However, I felt that the damage output could be slightly increased, as it sometimes took 6-9 dashes to take down a single enemy. That said, it was still incredibly satisfying to line up a group of enemies and dash through them all in one swift attack. While I glanced at the "training" section, a more thorough explanation of each ability’s effects would have been helpful without the need to go to the Inventory to see those Information. Your GDD is well-structured and covers all necessary details, but it could benefit from more images—especially GIFs showcasing specific mechanics. Overall, this was a fun and engaging game! Keep up the great work!

Summarise your game!
RIGHTEOUS BAD AXE (RBA) is a Physics / Base Defense game about preventing goblins from stealing your “friends” by commanding a sentient axe to intercept and dispatch waves of thieving goblins.
Backstory is in the training section of the main menu as well as the controls.
To summarize, the player finds themself reincarnated as a sentient axe. Standard movements do not exist, everything is based on propulsion and gravity!
Goblins in the story once overheard someone say "One man's trash is another man's treasure"... and took the adage literally. You must now protect your trash loot!
Please explain how your game fits the theme:
The player character is a sentient axe and is the weapon. Inspired by many games that you will see mentioned in the GDD, the mechanics focus on thrusting your body around to damage goblins!
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Please look in the training section for instructions and backstory! I hope you enjoy!
