Quick and fun to play game. Nice surprise in the story. The lenght was a little lacking. Dashing and then attacking works too well. Some more variety in viable fighting strategies would be better.

Very fun game!
Really great. Love the music and the graphics and overall feel. The wave of little minion guys all got stuck together for me ;)
Total deaths: 3
so... is it just me or I can't really move around?
Firstly, I found the cover to be appealing. But wow, I was surprised at how the theme was integrated with the game, and I can only praise you for that. I really enjoyed it, and it was quite fun. Perhaps maybe implement more variety in the combat mechanics, as to make it less monotonous (because there felt to be little difference in gameplay depending on which weapon was chosen). I could see this as a larger game, perhaps in the future, but for the timeframe given, it was well-made! Good job!
2 days and a very good rating. Like the take on the theme, wished the controls were a little easier, can't attack up or down, and had to click the dialog and then find the JKL keys again. Great entry. Lot of fun!
Hehe. That was great.
Your take on the theme was quite enjoyable. The game's combat was a little loose. For instance, the massed enemies got stuck on each other and most enemies were vulnerable to attacks from below.
However, it was consistent enough to get good at over a few tries and the story was pretty good. More levels would have been nice, but it would be hypocritical for me to realistically expect more. I rarely end up making that many myself in a single weekend.
Overall, good job. It was fun to play.
I had a little trouble pounching but it is really fun and enjoyable game, nice twist on the theme :) Well done!
Great execution! The way you presented the theme here was really good, congrats! The upgrades are a little too strong, but I guess it's good thing here, since we need to rate a lot of other games.
I liked the final enemy and the take on the theme. I wish there was some visible or audible way to know about the attack cooldown. Great game!
Outstanding I loved it. I loved the power fantasy of the game of how you become so powerful by using your bare fists. One thing I will say maybe enemy variety on different runs would have been nice.
Great art dude :) love the game
@onat-sayg @jordanvang @doug-graham @thepelranthean @faiorb thank you all for playing Dead Again, and taking the time to leave some feedback! Some more variety in both enemies and weapons was definitely up there on the "If only we had more time" list, and we could definitely make the controls a bit more intuitive. So glad you all enjoyed it!
@twelvoo @eog @sefirost @blotosaur @smileyface @mad-brokli thanks so much for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!
@tofuman sorry to hear you were having trouble moving - do you mean the WASD keys weren't working for you?
I did like the characters and the game seems interesting. You can increase the player size(With different graphics ofcourse) and speed up the game a little bit. So that it will make more people to stay.
Took a while to understand dashing baited attacks, so used to waiting then dashing (thanks, Dark Souls).
Great game, fun progression loop, enemy animations definitely add to the appeal. I wish the sprites were bigger so I could get a better look at these lil enemies!
This was fun! I initially started using the big sword, but it was a surprise when the smaller group of enemies came at a later level---I had to readjust my tactics! Music was catchy. Controls were responsive. Would be nice to see some variety in enemy attack behaviours in the future; currently, you just get rushed and they park it next to you and hack away. But still fun!
This game was super fun! I love how the theme was used towards the end, really smart. The mechanics and gameplay felt great and I really enjoyed it. I had 3 deaths total before winning. Great work! :)
One of my favourites of the Jam for sure. I enjoyed a lot the grapichs and the music. The combat was nice but can be improved. Great job overall!
The graphics and music fit together nicely. It's a fun game with nice levels.
It was fun... Especially the BattleMage... )))
IMHO perfect length for a LD entry. And I like the twist in the end and how it is connected to the theme. Nice game!
SO DIFFICULT. :)
