Funny, yet great entry.

Pretty fun! The only downside to the game is that the movement felt a bit funny.

Unfortunately Control + Arrows is bound to a lot of stuff in OSX, so this is really hard to play for me. But it's pretty fun! Why can't I kill the title?

I don't seem to be able to press play. Helga just swings her axe. Music is good though!

Nice game, the character design and art cracked me up. Great work!

acuity 2014-12-09 04:28

I like the art! And your hitboxes work well, unlike the ones in my game. :P

i tried playing the web entry on kongregate, but all i get is a red screen. i didn't put any ratings, so i might check back later to see if it's working.

Wow, really liked the style and the idea! Nice humour!

ottersden 2014-12-09 04:28

That was very fun! It felt quirky and humorous. Great variety of enemies! The only drawback is that I wish there was a way to see how much health you had. Music also stopped after a while.

Still, thumbs up from me!

Helga rocks! Absolutely great expirience!

Curse that bear!! HELGA WILL CRUSH YOU!
Cool game! That bear scared the s*** out of me man!

swiftillusion 2014-12-09 04:30

Sweet entry, had a heart attack when the bear came out haha. Nice variation in enemies and simple but easy to access premise :).

sharp911 2014-12-09 04:46

Not bad. Nice retro feel to it. Good job

sharpcoder 2014-12-09 05:42

Nice job! Fits the theme well and I had fun playing it :)

66 murder points! Fun little game!

diventurer 2014-12-09 17:57

I feel it could be more polished. Although, I do like the progression of difficulty.

liamlime 2014-12-09 17:57

I saw Helga in one of the posts during the jam, and was really, really confused. I'm so glad I found it in the list of games. :D

I was very amused by the bear animations. It would be nice to have a health meter of some sort so I know how much damage Helga has taken though.

Also it would be cool if I could win instead of just surviving!

knivel 2014-12-11 04:46

Haha, hilarious! I cracked up when the bear came out. Super cool to hear it was a family collaboration. Great job!

samm 2014-12-11 04:47

Ha, "Murder points" :D

rothens 2014-12-11 11:26

What did I just play? XD Nice one anyway :D

rodobodolfo 2014-12-12 14:42

Loved It, controls feel solid to me!
maybe too hard when mages and the bear appear...

hissssssssss 2014-12-12 14:59

This is an absolute riot! Well done!

One bug I noticed: I died, and at that time a wizard was throwing a dagger. When I went back to the title screen, the dagger continued on its path and hit the Toggle Music button, triggering it! I had already swung at Play so I had to play that round with no music. XD

cakencode 2014-12-13 02:07

D'aww, only 32 kill points, that bear destroyed me!

Pretty fun, but gets very hectic too quickly, I'd have liked a smoother ramp up to get used to all the enemies more progressively. For example, the first wizard had only come out only moments ago while ago when suddenly 3 wizards and a bear spawned, hilarious and terrifying all at once :)

mutatedsoftware 2014-12-13 04:23

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. They've all been right on the money. I'm also happy to report that after reading how the bear startled people, my daughter has added 'programmer' to the list of things she wants to be when she grows up :)

Good job for a first entry !

pacogames 2014-12-16 10:53

Fun and addictive. Best not to use the system keys for the game.

wavertron 2014-12-20 07:38

Quite fun and humorous. But the bear killed me everytime :/
Nice game

Lucariatias 2014-12-20 11:47

This was fairly amusing - it didn't keep me hooked for very long, but it was fun while I was playing it. The music was good, some of the art could do with brushing up, and it would be nice to see a health bar or something so I knew how far away I was from dying. The huge bear usually killed me pretty much instantly - I think it would be nice to make it more obvious when you were hit, too.

snickersnacks 2014-12-29 04:46

As a woman, I felt very empowered! GO HELGA! This game could really go somewhere. I like it a lot and I think the potential to have a decent amount of fun is there. I LOL'd great job!
