That was pretty cool! I love beard weapon idea. It felt kind of weird moving the right stick back and forth to attack, but it got easier for me after a couple of tries. I'd recommend perhaps changing the attack mechanic so that pushing the right stick to one side makes the beard attack and retract once, rather than having full control (or maybe just give the beard more range). Enemy knockback would also help a lot. Great job, though! :)

Do you need a controller to run it? I can't use the mouse or keyboard for anything, even the menu.

I'm happy to report that my beard pedigree did not fail me.

As for feedback, the audio was a good fit for the atmosphere. High marks for theme as well. On the controls side I wish A was jump instead of RB. Also rapidly tapping a joystick to attack felt kind of awkward. Still, good job overall!

Haha I'd love how you control the beard with the right analog stick. That just felt right. I liked the work you put into the subtle lighting effects and such as well :)

Great take on the theme and fun art style. Nice work!

You need Controller to play this game.

I'm proud of my beard.
If only the level was a little longer.

Very cool game! Love the retractable beard!
Also super cool mood and lighting.

Worked alright with my controller, but the beard would only go to the left or right. The art style is really cool and the beard idea is really weird but awesome.

Nice and unconventional weapon. It would have been great if the jump above the bears was easier.

@fixitteam You need to doubleJump above them

Can't really complain about a game were the main weapon is a beard. Nice take on the theme.
