I Felt SOOO overpowered with the shadow warriors!! It was so satisfying filling the screen with bullets and destroying everything. That's an awesome feeling to achieve on  a short jam game!! Nice work

However Im not sure it really fits the theme, or works very well for it. Blood magic feels like an afterthought to the core game here. And in general, blood magic is usually not very impactful or fun most of the time I see it anyways. There needs to be a lot of HP loss and gain rapidly for blood magic to feel fun IMHO.

In any case the shadow warriors are AWESOME. You don't usually have direct control over shadow warriors in games, so that was kind of a unique angle! Excited to see if you take this idea further!

Thanks for your feed back. I wasn't going to enter this jam. I couldn't think of a theme for about a day, but then this one. Agree penalty for the shadow warriors needs to be higher. Not sure where I will go from here. Rougelite expansion might be fun but not sure how to add a twist. Thanks

Nice game , i like what you did for the theme . 

Controls are really well .

Developer

Thanks, always try to get controls right early, nothing worse than sloppy controls.

Interesting, fast paced game. I am always struggeling with combined mouse-aim-but-keyboard-to-move games so i was not very succesful :-) But it’s fun - I love the speed, keeps you awake!

I agree, working two hands independently is very hard. My inspiration comes from 20 mins till dawn, took me ages to get it. Problem with one hand only is you need auto fire. And recoil delay can be frustrating. But maybe a good option to give people. Thanks.
