Enjoyed it! Even though it was 1bit the graphics worked, it was fun and the combat was actually pretty good. Made it to depth 300+

I turned the blood particles above 1000 and the bounciness to max. big mistake. Anyways, fun game, the attaking is simple but feels really satisfying because you need to hit the enemies while avoiding hitting them. I feel like the upgrades could come faster though to make the game a little more fast paced.
I liked the twin stick shooter feel, only for melee.
The layout was simple but it worked well. I liked watching all the crazy blood shooting all around.
Neat little game! The 4 directional attacks made it pretty fun. The blood was an interesting touch - I liked it. It would've been nice to see some more visual differentiation of elements. Really fun and addictive overall, I couldn't seem to get past 400!
It defaulted to 0 blood, so I was a pretty confused my first couple runs before I noticed the settings. The bloodgeysers were funny when I saw them though.
It was cool that despite your attacks being up or down, they each had a left or right side they were better at hitting too.
Taking and using the blood seems like an awesome mechanic if you're expand on it later. Not too much different then picking up hearts in this version though. The crushing boulder sounds cool! I wish I got to see it in the game.
Simple but fun game. I like that you can attack in all four directions, and trying to outrun the rock while dodging all the enemies is pretty fun too. I also like that you can adjust the blood particles, turning them up really high makes the game look funny.
The game could use more visual clarity. The enemies should be a different color than the player, like orange or something (since red is already used for the blood). The rock should also be a different color - at first I didn't know what the falling black thing was until I got hit by it. The collection radius for the particles should also be much bigger so that you don't have to stand still to get them. The first time, I didn't know that you could actually collect them because I was killing and running past the enemies so fast.
Overall, nice work! I had fun playing.
The blood was cool, I am sure you spend a lot of time on that so good job. Otherwise simple game, needs more graphics :)
Attacks were responsive and satisfying. Also the GIBS.
Depth 613, Health 999999. Awesome! Simple, but pretty fun! Agree with the commenter that the enemies should be a different color (or shape).
Pretty fun! The audio complemented the graphics well. Lots of particle fun with the blood, though I would have preferred some nice defaults instead of having to choose the settings myself. Anyhow, good work on this one!
