Those big guys are TOUGH. It felt like if there were 2 or 3 of them on the screen, that's it, you were done!

Well done sprites and lighting, they are very appealing and fit the game well :)

Really good graphics and music! Gameplay feels good and I quickly learned how to bait the large enemies. Nice game!

I love the music, but the gameplay is not balanced, it's getting hard very quickly.

Nice lightning effects and challenging gameplay.

Nice little game :)
Very simple, but good fun for a while. All the mechanics and the different items worked flawlessly, well done!

Nice little defender game. I liked having a ranged and melee option available from the start, it opens up some fun flexibility. I agree with others, the large enemies were a huge spike in difficulty, and it kinda feels like they're just a death sentence.

Nice game. A little tough perhaps, and the luck involved in item drops made one play though considerably different to the others. Good quality work with the visuals and sounds.

The graphics and sounds are pretty awesome, I liked the gameplay but the big log guys are just way too powerful, I always lost to them. The menu screen looks really good too!

Great lighting effects, I like the detail that facing backwards when walking makes the character move slower.

This is a pretty impressive compo entry. Liked the lighting and the music: the gameplay is solid but would benefit a lot from more polish and balancing.
Cool thing!

Wow the big ones are really strong indeed ! Great work on the sound, the music is really cool. Light effects give a good atmosphere to the cave. It's was a good experience, good job :)

Challenging, fun game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/xWdPMmlW1Hs

got first impression from amazing music!
pretty good done survival game, nice lighting effect and game balance polishing.

but there is not so comfortable controls and i wish see more animations and gui :)

good luck~!

Nicely looking game. But the fireball skill seems inbalanced for me (too weak). Music and lighting are beautiful.

Fun to play and pretty polished! well done :)

Full sword is the way to go in my opinion. Being ranged is counterset by the fact that you're slow so you get caught and they are able to hit you for a longer time than the 2 melee slaps it takes to kill enemies.

Simple but funny game xD good work. Are you interessed in porting this game to android and maybe ios devices ? I already have 6 games on the playstore if you like to make this happen hit me up xD

Great game, it's really fun and pretty challenging which makes it even more enjoyable! The graphics are nice and clean, the soundtrack is good, as are the sound FX. Would've liked to see more enemy types and some upgrades, but regardless of that I enjoyed the game, great entry!

Pretty classic gameplay and not too much content, but it's well executed and fun to play.
