Really fun game! The art was stunning, the music was great, and the voiced grunts had a lot of character!
After some time I found myself spamming a the first option because the time it took for me to read the options was about as long as the cool down. It also felt like my health went from 100 to 0 instantly.
I think this game could be turned into something really cool if you decide to do something with it down the road!
oh god, the humor. the first thing I read was "You jokes are extremely humerus". Perfect. Say no more- I'm hooked. Oh man, and the text at the top of the screen. The humor is non stop, and it's amazing. That said, the gameplay is a bit repetitive, and could use some extra features.
The sound effects are nice, and I'm a big fan of the artwork! The background is especially impressive. The lighting must've taken a long time! Great work all around!
You definitely hit the humour margin that's for sure! Love all the puns and names :smile:
Love the art style and sounds, you did a good job in that regards.
It was super cool! I like the idea and inspiration a lot. Artwork was fantastic and there were a ton of spell options. My only wish is that there was a way, even from the main menu that you could tell what the spells did so I could make more informed decisions. I figured a lot of them out by the end, but there were still some that I didn't know what they did. I got to level 20 and survived just over 3 minutes.
puns: 10/10, and I absolutely ADOREEE the art! It's a super fun game and I definitely played more than once! I agree that it'd be cool to know what the spells do beforehand, but I think for me it was kinda part of the fun to find out along the way!
The humor is great, love the art, great job!
Lasted 215s, 24lvl. Due to speed of heroes spam of skills without choosing feels like ultimate strat. Fast pacing don't gives you time to choose or read texts. After some rebalance or additional goals to boss it can be really nice expirience. Great work!
Ha ha, at first I thought I was controlling a knight and couldn't figure out what was going on :) But then I did and I started winning right away. Nice art style. Thanks.
Awesome game. Love the graphics and the spells especially the fire ones. Great entry!
Very nice product. The visual side of this project is perfect. The gameplay is solid but gets repetitive after a while. Maybe you should add some more spells, after each phase.
Your cover picture won me over and I wanted to know more. I was not disappointed :)
Nice game, I like the graphics and humour. The music kept in the background and fit the mood nicely without becoming annoying.
Gameplay-wise I think it would have been helpful to use icons instead of words since the game becomes frantic very fast and it takes too long to parse the actual text in a short amount of time. In the end I ended up randomly clicking any attack and hoping for the best.
I the same vein, it would be nice to have target indicators when hovering over the different attacks. Since this is a reaction game it is sometimes necessary to make a split second decision where to attack and having to remember where an attack would go in addition to what it does in that short amount of time was a little stressful.
Anyway, I enjoyed my run, good job!

Thanks a lot for the kind comments! We already tried to polish the gameplay, but we ran out of time... We tried our best but so many things keep out of the game that could made it way more interesting, maybe we can finish it later :).
I hope u all enjoyed the game as much as we did making it and have a good Ludum Dare 50th!
Love all the skeleton and bone puns! Amazing graphics, cute game! :)
Some of the best artwork I've seen on here, bar none! Always love a good pun (check out ours if you want another pun-based name :P).
Really great idea, and some great art to boot! Love the attack animations.
Fun game. The sprite for both the players and enemies didn't seem to match the quality and detail of the background and some of the spells which kinda thew me off. Nice work on the game though!
Bone tunes are a banger.
Great use of the theme and execution. The best particles, lights and general aesthetics I've experience in the submissions so far.
Amazing VFX and graphics. Cool humour as well.
This game is awesome. I love anything turn-based so when I saw the title and the image I was just like I've got to play this. It's funny, it looks amazing, and honestly I thought it was cool playing as the boss instead of the heroes!
One thing I'd say is I wish the attacks/abilities had some kind of description on what they'd do. I really found out once I clicked on it to give it a try.
Good game! The visuals are great and I appreciate the puns. I feel the music keeps up with the mood as well. The gameplay didn't allow me to analyze the available skills so I used them half randomly. I think the cooldowns were too long, would be more fun to spam more spells!
I didn't quite understand what launches the intermission scene. First I thought it was game over, but then the game kept going. Others have also raised good points for improvements.
Lots of good stuff here, hope you do more with the game!
