Good game. At the end your worst enemy is lag :P, but it was funny to play it. I got all powers to max and killed all enemies in all levels, but game does not finished. Also, I don't understood the "Magnet Power" skill. Great entry, good job!
Great work! surprisingly, we both made similar games lol. I liked the gameplay of yours a lot, and the dash looked really good. thank you! :)
I really liked graphics and audio! The dash ability was also really good! Overall, this is a really good jam entry!
Cool entry, only think i have to remark is that it is a bit slow in the start as your dash loads very slow so you are mostly walking around and dodging things but i understand if you dash to much it would be to easy
I have to admit that i wasn't sure that i'll like this game before playing, but it was cool ! The gameplay and the graphics are both good .

Fun game! The gameplay loop is pretty solid and farming is an easy solution to most problems. Perhaps the dash is a bit overpowered.

my favorite LD44 game. I maxed everything, wish there was an ending =)

Also I knew I should've maxxed the dash cooldown and damage first, cause it's so easy after
That was surprisingly addictive! I definitely ran into lag issues as well, especially when there were a lot of health orbs on the screen. The 0 cooldown dash seemed a little OP, but it was definitely fun to infinitely dash through enemies :P

Very very laggy on my crap laptop, but it was still pretty fun, with cool mechanics and enemy design.
I played this for quite a bit longer than most LD games. Like others, there were a lot of lag issues later in the game, which seems to be primarily caused by too many blood particles. The magnet probably doesn't help much there, either as it has to loop over each one. Perhaps only doing the magnet for only a third of the particles per update would help?
I played the game until I maxed out everything and was hoping for an ending, but there wasn't one. You did a great job on the particles. The effects there, while possibly part of the lag issue, are great. It would be interesting to see if the lag also exists on a native build instead of using WebGL.
Great job for a first jam. Definitely my favorite entry so far!

Overall: ARPG with fun combat and a good upgrade system.
Fun: This is a really fun idea. It's enjoyable to watch my character get more powerful. Especially when the dash delay gets to minimum, it's fun to dash around defeating the enemies. The early screens are too easy to farm... now I understand why many ARPGs reduce the XP reward when you are overlevelled. I think I finished it - Cleared a room where the only exit is back the way I came. Would have liked a victory screen or some instruction as to what I'm missing!
Innovation: I've seen most of the elements of this game in other games. What's really nice is the creative design of the upgrades, the enemies and the dash mechanic.
Theme: Yes
Graphics: Looks good. You did a good job of getting the ideas across with low-poly models. I really like the dash effect. When there are many health particles on screen, I have serious frame rate problems, even on my quite powerful gaming laptop.
Audio: I enjoyed the sound effects.
Humor: I found some of the sound effects funny.
Mood: Good. I think the mood would be improved if the game were more difficult (nerf farming).
Very nice entry! I played it for much longer than I intended :D I was quite sad when I realized that the game is already over :( but that's only a compliment to you :)

Ir was fun! I liked the idea and the gameplay is also good.
@gassi-games Really solid entry! Love the simple but effective art style. Audio was solid. Gameplay and design was simple but fun and was fairly easy to learn quickly, which is especially effective for Ludum Dare games since player's attention spans are short (hell, they are usually anyway!) Excellent entry!
