Thanks for playing. Yeah it's probably too easy once you figure out the mechanics. I should have made the default attack cost less hp and the drain not heal as much to balance it better. But maybe its better this way for a game jam since more people can finish it.
I'm glad you liked the game and thank you for the feedback! These are all great suggestions. Unfortunatly I ran out of time to implement everything I wanted / more polishing. The plan at first was to make a large map with different areas and checkpoints but that was way overscoped for the limited time I had left. In the end I went for a smaller map with no checkpoints.
I agree that it is annoying to kill the same enemies over and over. I was thinking of making the enemies less likely to spawn depending on how many times they had been killed but idk, you can kill them faster once you get some items.
Thanks for the nice comments and feedback! The pixel effect is achieved by rendering the game at a small resolution, for this game I used 384x216 and then I upscale that to whatever the display resolution is. This makes everything automaticly look pixely and is perfect for particle effects. The sprites is normal 16x16 and no shader is required with this technique.
Fun little game that kept me playing untill the end. I like the car chase at the end, I wasn't expecting that. The things I would like to see improve is the music and more content.
There is a boss 10 zones in. When you reach the boss zone you will get a check point. My tip is to play really carefull until you reach the boss zone and get that checkpoint. Good luck!
