A little bit dissatisfying that you can only stun humans, but fits with the mythos/creatures, fun little game!

Really liked the art and sound, the music fits really well. Also a very original idea for the theme. Well done!

That is a neat game! I like learning about fantastical creatures.

The game was a bit easy though, since the woodcutters would always follow you, and you are faster than then, which means that you could dodge them forever for infinite score. I wonder what would be a good way to improve that.

Thank you for the game!

Chudáci skřítci :D It's a game of flashback, catchy czech music, but an imbalanced gameplay. Sometimes after a hit they recover immediately. Where are the other skriteks :(

Well done for the graphics they are really cool ! Sadly it's hard to play with wasd with an azerty keyboard :_) maybe you can use arrows ? Well done !

This is a very cute little game, though the way you accumulate points is a little curious (seems entirely time based?) so if you manage to destroy their houses early, you earn less points than if you end up kiting them around for a long time :thinking:

The music is really cute though, and definitely solid points for an original theme to it! Love the art too.

Great! I loved the spin on the theme and the chill music!

Neat game overall. Game was well executed and I didn't run into any bugs.

Nice pixel art, and I like the trivia :slight_smile:

I found myself accidentally clicking on the music toggle when trying to shoot the house in the top right. It may benefit to not have the UI overlaying the play area.

Fun Game! Because of the Trivia 8/12 i now wish i could see mountain, plains, house and field Skriteks too! Havent had any bugs. Nice Pixelart, overall a pretty neat Entry!

A fun but also really difficult little game. I like the visuals and the music is also pretty good. Overall a good game. Well done.

Fun skritek design :D

respect for compo and using the pagan mythology yeeaaa

i enjoyed kiting the woodcuters and nuking their homes with my powerful rotten plums

what exactly is happening in the bushes when Skřítek is hiding that he manages to get such amounts of rotten plums is very interesting for me but the trivia did not anwser that question for me :DDD

sweet entry

Great game. Fun to learn about a new type of mythical character!

Wow, what a lovely entry!! I enjoyed learning about the Skritek, and I thought the gameplay was really fun.

I liked the ability to toggle music, but I do wish the music loop was a little longer. I think for a game like this, a slightly longer loop with a little more form would have gone a long way. But the audio aesthetic was great, and I'm a huge fan of the shooting SFX. Great entry!!

This was really cool! I like how I can either decide to try for a higher score or speedrun it! Only thing I might add is some sort of difficulty increase the longer you wait in the bush (woodcutter speed increase perhaps) Awesome entry ^~^
