I didn't get the twist sadly so for me this game was just a normal top down dungeon game :3
Also, why can you retract the sword?? Is it part of the twist, or is it something else entirely?? Is it necessary??
Thanks for the feedback. I originally planned on adding a tutorial to explain everything but ran out of time and ended up putting a simple manual button, I don't know if you saw it or not/if that helped. The twist is supposed to be that dying increases your strength and speed to combat the enemies which become stronger each wave, yet dying also speeds up the timer, meaning you have to play smarter the more you die. Anyways, I also planned on adding a more in-depth weapon system which is why I had the retractable sword (it's my first jam and I had no idea how quickly, or slowly, I'd be able to get stuff done). Even so, I hope you still found the game enjoyable!
Yes, the game was very enjoyable, and i had fun with it!! I didn't actually noticed that you get a buff after you died because i quit right after i died, thinking that the game was over xD (since i've been playing for a while). I actually never noticed the timer while playing, i wasn't aware of it O.o
I've seen the manual screen, but i didn't actuall read the text because it was too crammed and i got scared by it, and close it because of it
I see... Good luck in case you choose to continue the game after the jam!! (^u^)
