This would be brilliant if W was forward instead of up. Was too hard to control. Great weapon effects and weapon sounds. Overall very good.

Awesome represention of arena combat. Great job. I can forgive the iffy controls, just. =D
Smash, Kill, Destroy!
Very addictive. I love that I can choose different weapons.
Enemies with swords/daggers are much harder than others.
Thanks for the feedback
@sanojian I did try that originally, but the game is designed with "twinstick" controls in mind (I wanted to add controller support, actually, but ran out of time). If aim direction and movement direction are the same, even with strafing (which is always difficult to figure out from a top-down view), it controls like a truck and getting behind anyone is a nightmare. Lesser of two evils, I suppose!
Really a superb execution of the core mechanic. Well done.
Great entry! Little do I see good, simple games like this that run in browser.
Got beat up in round 3.
Nice game found my self playing for longer than i thought got to round 5.
Nice idea! I like the variety of weapons, makes it really interesting to figure out the best strategy.
The weapon-clashing mechanic was really satisfying! Oddly I think my favorite weapon was the candy cane.
Pretty cool turn for a top-down shooter (or melee fighter?), needs some work on the graphics, but pretty good overall
Nice and simple. It is fun. The bow sucks imo ahaha.
Nice game!! I played multiple times, addicting!
Nice and quiet arena game! Nice and quiet. Still, not bad! Had fun!
Hi there. Nice idea, looks pretty. Like the metallic dings. Found the combat tricky to win. Good job!
It's a great game concept, I like it. Unfortunately, controls are not very intuitive, it's not very easy to aim and I would've expected different behavior of the character when pressing various keys.
I think this is fun to play!
Can change my weapon between waves is good.
I think it's cool that you included a good variety of weapons to choose from. It was fun trying them all out. The speed was a big issue for me. I would have liked the action to be a bit more fast paced. Enough so that my best weapon wound up being the candy cane, just because it made it possible to dodge and come up around behind to attack.
Made it to round 5 with the battle axe. The archers are definitely the hardest enemies.
