A simple hack and slash type game, it feels the summon unit is a bit weak though - it takes 3 enemies to defeat and at best 1v1s one enemy. It would also be nice to get a bit more feedback on hit, sound effects for strikes and a personal heath bar would be nice additions.
Music is clean and simple, perfectly matches the grimreaper ghost vibe of the game. Artwork ist nice.
Gameplay is a little too difficult for me, it does not feel as if you can really evade these ghosts since they move very fast. Also attacking them does not feel like having much of an impact. I guess if you gradually added difficulty by starting with slow ghosts and making them faster with each win, that would've been better. Also maybe have your attack push them back.
I agree with argensis - I found the summon was sometimes even a liability, since enemies would unpredictably change directions to target it over me. I struggled to survive past wave 2, since the enemies seemed to move about as fast as me and I couldn't tell if I was hitting them or not. I kept moving closer to try and hit them since they didn't seem to be dying.
Really nice pixel art and nice music. Don't really know how the summoning theme is met here unfortunately.
Music and graphics are simple and nice, I also love the subtle jokes in the UI messages, but the controls are janky and there is almost no telling when you are hit or when your attack lands. Still quite enjoyable, thank you for the game!
Sweet graphics, and good use of the theme, was fun to run around and summon an ally once I could. Only thing I'd add is that a bit of a random factor to the soul's positions as they are chasing you would keep them from all getting clumped up!
Eek, this is really hard with a trackpad! It would be easier if you could move with the mouse pointer, because my trackpad turns itself off when you push keys on the keyboard. But it runs really smoothly and I can see a lot of potential in it -- it kind of has a bit of Pac-Man vibes.
I enjoyed the clean music and pixel art, capturing the grimreaper vibe well. The subtle UI jokes were great! However, the summons feel underpowered and gameplay clarity could be better. A gradual increase in ghost speed might be a positive change. Keep at it!
Simple the melee combat part, should add some feedback for the hit to make it more juicy. The gameplay is a bit confusing me at first but I still got it anyways.
