I feel you with the art style. Fun and silly concept!
Managed to achieve my lifelong dream and burn Starbucks down!
Anyway, awesome game! I loved the graphics here, both in the cutscenes and in-game. The animations & VFX especially were great! It was also really fun capturing demons and throwing them at their friends. The music was really nice too! The target demon thing was a tad confusing - I kept submitting the wrong demons, until I realized that I probably just had to reach the final level (6) - but this was probably intentional. Also, I managed to clip through the ground once and lost :( Other than that, great entry!
Great game, awesome feel, very fun gameplay loop
aw this is great. Such an impressive submission!
This game kinda slaps! The art style and animations are dope, Music is dope, being able to parry fireballs is dope, being able to Yeet your enemies at other enemies is dope. Only criticism is its a bit unclear how to progress to the next wave by throwing demons into the lava. I'm proud to have beaten the game cause it was a bit hard
The game is very polished for a compo, especially audio. Congrats!
The gameplay has a great feel and is really fun. You managed to add a lot of depth to the combat system.
The difficulty is a bit too high for me, though. I would need some healing in order to finish the game (I tried 15+ times).
A thing that was frustrating is the fireball explosion radius. Often I successfully dodged a fireball then it exploded an hurted me anyway.
Also I noticed that you have a shader glitch with pixels turning black on the faces that are near to perpendicular to the view. I had the same problem in my outline shader and fixed it by multiplying the result of the depth sobel by one minus a fresnel effect.
Overall ecxellent game!
Hi! combat feels super nice, vfx seems super polished, overall amazing work.
I was never able to find the demon I was looking for, but despite that I enjoyed myself. (A lifetime of playing Zelda and I'm still bad at bouncing projectile attacks back at them).
A bit of enemy variety might have kept me on the hook longer. I really wanted to try to throw a defeated enemy back at a second enemy to see if that would hurt them, but never managed to do it.
Overall I think the gameplay loop is solid. The donut-shaped arena felt like it was just the right size. I wish I was better at the game so I could have seen more of it!
Love the look of this game. Combat felt a little difficult to me, but after a few tries was able to find the right demon!
Banger soundtrack! Took me a bit to get good enough to survive until I find the right demon.
The art is amazing, great job! :thumbsup:
This was really great! Loved the overall vibe... even with the simplicity, felt very polished. I loved how satisfying it was to pick up a demon in your net and lob them off a cliff. :stuck_out_tongue:
Took me a few tries to understand what the UI elements meant. But once I did, and figured out that I needed to capture a specific demon... and that the red circles were my health... the game became super difficult for me. :sweat_smile: I wished there was a way to get more health somehow, because once I got hit, it was so hard to recover.
I did really love the sort of bounty hunter/demon hunter aspect a lot... but I did find it difficult with the angle of the demon faces to find the right one at times... I'd take damage trying to figure it out... is that 4 eyes or 2?? :eyes: Oh shit. Only 2. Dead. LOL
I think if there was a mix of some kind of weapon that would just blast the ones you didn't care about off the edge... and then the net took more hits and difficulty trying to capture... could be a fun mechanic.
Really nice entry!!!
I really like this graphics and fighting process
Absolutely love the artstyle, from the UI elements to the shaders and your vfx work. Fun 2d narrative, graphics gets a 5/5 for me!
Kept spamming space to dash away from the projectiles, until I figured out the deflect. Fun concept as well, being a bounty hunter. The bounty description took a while for me to understand though, and was a bit confused by the progress of the demons spawning.
But hey, those are nitpicks, great jam. You got impressively far for a weekend.
Absolutely love the art style and the vfx. Really crispy and well made.
Fun vibes, but a little difficult
Super well done! The visual style is simple and effective. The music is good and the sfx are mixed really well. The gameplay is really fun and I love that theres multiple ways to deal with enemies. I started by just running up to them and hitting them, then I was reflecting projectiles, but in the end I figured out I could knock enemies off the ledge and had fun doing that.

I also had this funny little mishap where I somehow picked up a live enemy. I think it happened while they where in knockback from another enemies projectile.
Overall I had a blast with this one, great job!
This game has a well made gameplay, which is good in it's simplicity. Graphics are nice, sounds are readible. However, required demon feels like never spawns. I just don't feel that I'm doing something right or not by clearing waves.
Graphics are really nice. Honestly I was surprised how much trouble I was having with this game. Sometimes the timing of the enemy shots still got me even after playing for a while. It was fun being able to throw their projectiles back at them and also use the defeated enemies as projectiles
Haha this game has my favourite backstory from the whole jam :D Very nice and clean shader work too!
