Fun but also hard! :anger: I really liked the way you attack.

tortoisegames 2020-04-21 09:34

Glad you enjoyed it!

Its a pretty fun game, but I couldnt play it for too long because of the hit sound, its a bit straining. I found the game quite enjoyable other than that.

maxathon 2020-04-21 16:56

Nice looking game! Found myself wanting more and cheaper upgrades, but nice work.

theqiwiboy 2020-04-21 16:57

I liked the attacks & dash, I liked the art, but it got pretty hard.

piggles 2020-04-21 16:58

Fun but challenging and I love being able to upgrade my character. I wish you could more money faster since after a short amount of time it gets overwhelming and I barely have the damage to make it through.

Nice work! Fan of the style. Hope you continue to develop it!

geryon-games 2020-04-21 17:03

Nice game! It feels pretty good and the dash is a nice touch. Also nice attack animation. I think you could decrease the shop prices. The hit sound is a bit startling and loud. Overall, cool game and great entry!

The game feel is nice good snappy controls and great visuals. Maybe better difficulty curve. Solid one.

primalshadow 2020-04-21 17:06

fun!

elmos-minion 2020-04-21 17:07

Fun game! It's pretty hard since there are lots of waves.

mallard 2020-04-21 17:08

Well done on your first game.

As others have said, the difficulty ramps up quite quickly and the upgrades are expensive.

Suggestions for improvement: Drop health and coins randomly a short distance from the flame. This gives the player the incentive to stop "camping" the flame.

tomw 2020-04-21 17:09

I like the visuals! But I found the game / controls hard!

azo 2020-04-21 17:09

Good fun game, could do with some tweaks, but that's not the main thing about game jams. This is a really solid submission great job!

I like the color palette and the simplicity of the graphics.

I think it needs more sound and animation feedback for example in the dashing or enemies attacking the flame.

garys 2020-04-21 17:10

Nice! This is a pretty similar idea to our game as it happens. Fun to play, nice pixel art too.

brickington 2020-04-21 17:11

fun game, but tough. the swing animation is nice. but a little clunky for the pace the game wants you to go at. otherwise good show!

defiant-genesis 2020-04-21 17:14

The attack is a little bizarre and the hit noise does get annoying relatively quickly. but the graphics are well done and it is over all an enjoyable game.

rexgame 2020-04-21 17:14

Very very hard !

rodi 2020-04-21 17:16

The game is simple but feels great ! Well done ! :D

Feel Free to test my game as well :p

ironstudios 2020-04-21 17:17

Great game, but very hard! I couldn't get past wave 4, only thing I didn't like is the sword movement.

johnny-rainbow 2020-04-21 17:18

I really liked the simple artstyle.

zezel 2020-04-21 17:18

I loove the fighting feeling, like you throw the sword pretty good, nice work !

codechomper 2020-04-21 17:19

Good game, you kept the scope down but had good content. The waves got hard a little too quick. I like the shop and power ups. I do wish the esc key would close the shop window but it wasn't a big deal.

paulzz 2020-04-21 17:19

Congrats on your first game! The objective and mechanics are clear, and it's fun to play overall. The difficulty ramps up nicely as expected!

sir-magic 2020-04-21 17:26

I loved the art in this game and the animations were spot on too. I did find it quite difficult to stop the enemies reaching the flame and couldn't figure out how to buy things from the shop. Maybe a short explanation/tutorial would work well with this.

swen 2020-04-21 17:26

Amazing first entry. Loved the graphics!

notclive 2020-04-21 17:27

Love the art and the interaction, especially the little shake when you hit an enemy. As others are saying it's hard.

ekin 2020-04-21 17:32

i really love the art and the idea. great controls and feel. it is a little bit hard but fun. great work!!!

ynk 2020-04-21 17:35

Wow, it is quite difficult right from the beginning! The idea is cool but I think it deserves a better polishing over the difficult curve :)

michaela-schanes 2020-04-21 17:46

Loved the artstyle and that it's so clean! But the hitsound gave me a heartattack lol

nithman 2020-04-21 18:03

Wow, amazing game. Its very hard(I only got to wave 3 myself). Nice graphics too. Adding that shop feature really helped. Overall Great game it was fun!

rialgar 2020-04-21 18:31

Love the art! I made it to wave 5 but died in that one. For me the sword motion was a little weird, I get into details in the video.

See me failing your game :slight_frown: https://youtu.be/7_Ot89v5cac

tortoisegames 2020-04-21 21:13

Thanks a lot for making the video it will help me a lot in my journey to learn Game dev And thanks to all the people that gave me feedback!

nick-rafalski 2020-04-21 22:59

this was a lot of fun. It is very complete and has a novel mechanic (moving the sword with your mouse). Those 2 things are what gamejams are all about: finishing something, and being just a little bit experimental. I do think the game is a little unbalanced. The first 2 waves are really easy, but you don't make enough money to buy any upgrades. I got enough money in the middle of the 3rd wave to buy the damage upgrade (and really needed it!) but I didn't have a second to breathe and purchase it. I died right after that. Regardless, it's still a really cool game and a nice entry :)

motley 2020-04-21 23:30

Nice art! Hope you add some cool music in a post-jam update

motley 2020-04-21 23:30

My comment got duplicated and I don't know how to delete it :cry:

gentoogames 2020-04-23 19:06

Great entry for a first jam! I cant wait to see what you do in the future :) Maybe consider balancing the enemies a little bit better, and adding some more environment art, and sounds?
