Fun game, its got the arena shooter thing right. I seemed to die almost instantly when I got hit by an enemy though, maybe there isnt any temporary invincibility when you get hit? It was cool though. The visuals reminded me of skifree!

I AGREE WITH THE SKIFREE COMMENT! Yeah, the deaths are pretty much immediate. I upgraded to the bow and DEEEEPLY REGRETTED IT. lol

Hah, yea I agree the bow is pretty pathetic :P
I didn't have time to do any proper balancing. As for the tempoary invincibility - yea, I should have done that. The monsters will rip you apart if they get close to you :P

Definetly a fun game, I have to agree with the previous reviewers about how it reminds them of skifree :D

I feel that the range of the enemies were a bit too long (as there is no temporary invinsibility after getting hit), but that might just be me: The Audio track was very good, and sound effects cracked me up as they seemed to be completely opposite to the seriousness of the soundtrack.

Anyway, apparently a cat was selling the weapons. No wonder we got ripped off with some of the weapons :D

Audio was nice, the graphics were cute, if simple. Gameplay seems pretty solid, and there's quite a bit there - at least, in terms of weapons. The axe actually seems like one of the better weapons, especially given some enemies moving faster than the player/long cooldown between shots.

A cool little survival game. Axe seemed to be the best weapon, and yes, it seems you die almost instaly after an enemy touches you. Nice work on the audio! :)

Title screen + intro music rocks ! The difficulty curve is a bit like.. a wall :) But the game is really fun !

It just didn't feel quite right. There should be a way to heal. Fun anyway.
