Very clear concept. I had a lot of fun playing the game and ended saying to myself: "Just one more time!". I especially enjoyed the bouncing projectiles. At my best run, I had about 2300 points. :D

Nice game, small but fun! I especially enjoyed the audio and the graphics were very nice as well.

Very nice graphics. We always struggled with topdown graphics but you guys did it perfectly. Also the gameplay is very clear and well done, however a bit lacking of content. Maybe some sort of skill system would be fun. Also the sounds are very good and fitting, besides the music, which might be not "dark" enough. Still very good game I had a nice time with!

The controls were a bit confusing at first (I thought pressing up would move the character forward, not up), but once I got used to it, it was quite fun. I like the idea of using yourself (your blood) as a weapon, and the graphics really nailed the medieval uviverse. The AIs are a bit tough, especially the archers who will constantly shoot you every second even when you're harvesting blood, and I died a few times because of them. But overall, it's a solid experience. Maybe nerf the archer's health a bit and it would be awesome. Good job!

I enjoyed the core gameplay on this one, although a large portion of the strategy was cheesing the archers into trying to shoot into walls. Overall it fit the theme, felt good to play, and even had a higher skill ceiling with the option to shoot away incoming arrows. I played the web build, so I only got to hear the music occasionally, but what I heard was pretty good. Great game!

The artstyle is good, but it can be hard to tell who's alive and who's dead in the middle of a fight when there's blood and bodies all over.

Sometimes I got stuck moving in one direction, costing me a few lives.

Very cool artwork and sounds. Music doesn't quite go together, but I liked it and it sounds high quality. Gameplay was fun, but very difficult for me.

Pretty fun and challenging, I played through about a dozen times. It seems like every enemy on the map has aggro on me as soon as I start the game. Even if I stay still and kill all enemies in view, a bunch of archers will come in and start shooting, giving me very little opportunity to harvest the blood of the corpses. I think it can be more strategic if enemies had a shorter aggro range, and if they don't start shooting arrows until they appear in the screen, it would improve the gameplay feel a lot!

My favorite part is shooting incoming arrows with blood to deflect them and seeing the red deflected arrows kill nearby enemies; that was a cool touch!
