Judge feedback

Judge feedback is anonymous.

  • Once I understood what was going on, this became strangely addictive! You have a nice interpretation of the theme, and the gameplay was relative smooth, although at one point the game seemed to crash my browser... I found that when enemies spawned in, they seemed to flash in random locations before actually spawning somewhere else, and at time so many spawned that I was completely overwhelmed, so some balancing might need to be done here. The menu design is. I loved the eight-bit music, I'm currently humming it to myself as I write the review! Something else that might be nice to see it a bit of background - why are you knife? What is the difference between knife and knif? Just might add some context as to why I can possess goblins and skelingtons on a green island. Overall, a really good effort for your first game (well for 4/5 of you!)

Cool idea, at first I didn't quite understand the right click mechanics, when I finally understood it it was very interesting, good use of the theme, good job

Thank you for the feedback, I had considered making a "tutorial" scrawled on the ground like in The Binding of Issac.
Djaiyhn made a great "Swap" mechanic and I absolutely want to revisit the concept.
