Awesome game! The gameplay is simple yet very fun and makes it challenging, and being able to choose between upgrading the sword size or damage allows you to freely balance them like you want. Also the visuals and music are awesome, and you even had time to make such animations! Can't believe all this was done in just 3 hours, well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot <3 <3 <3 !

All the animation come from DOTween plug-in for Unity(http://dotween.demigiant.com/), which allows you to create simple yet satisfying animations with only one line of code!
It saves a lot of time and add a lot of juiciness to your game!
It also apply to colors, so I only used it for the enemy projectile for example!

And just to be clear, I did not create the music, I only downloaded it from envato https://elements.envato.com/audio


I wrote an article about some tools I use a lot in Unity in my jam (5 min reads) :

Really nice feeling and looking game, Simple yet pretty elegant. I found the gameplay kind of like, either there was no urgency, or I was being totally mobbed.

Developer

Hi!
Thanks a lot for your feedback!
You're right, in 3h I didn't have time to balance the game...so the level design is kind of random 😅
I just wanted something slow at start for the tutorial so that player can understand how to play.
Then I just increased monster number per waves in order to increase the pressure, the difficulty and the feeling of urgency...
