WASD doesn't work on itch. Maybe more controls, not sure because I couldn't really test them without movement.

@mrs-wheelsx hey, thanks for the headsup! Apparently there was is a bug with the "new" Unity input system and WebGL, but it should work now if you want to give it a try
Nice choice of name, classic gameplay, what more could you want? A bit too difficult for my taste, but the gameplay is good. Nice job.
WASD works now. Enjoyed playing through some depths. Could be nice to have a way to know the enemy got hit. Good job!
Really nice! Just beat it in 6 minutes, with around 1500 souls. By the 5 minute mark I was carving those Minotaurs up!!! I really like the particle effects in this, they are very tasty :ok_hand:
Sounds effects were nice and punchy, the rat scurrying one was a little loud and shrill but other than that it was great.
Nice gameplay loop, and appreciated the level variety too. I managed to get through it without the block or dash buttons. All in all a solid game, you should be very happy :D
Controls did not work correctly for me. The idea of aiming with the mouse and moving with WASD is great. Really could work for a bigger game as well. I really see potential and it's amazing that you even found time to create a start and menu screen.
Honestly one of the more fun games I've played so far. At first it was slow, but it ramped up and I almost died at the last level. The UI is really nice. Where I would call for improvement is level variety and and some music and variety on attack sound effect.
Well done!
Fun game, I like the minimalistic design. Maybe it's a bit too easy and the player could have used an animation :)
I got 1110 souls in 6:59! I didn't find there to be that much difficulty though I had fun none the less. Also the animation on the games logo is quite cool. Just wanted to mention that.
At the first occasion I stacked myself with banes using all the rerolls available, which allowed me to easily DESTROY MY ENEMIES WITH THUNDER AND FIRE. Then I discovered rerolls were infinite? Oh boy... A nice little game, good work!
I liked the pixel art graphics!
The fact that you can pick "negative upgrades" to gain money is a nice touch. They don't seem really worth it though =)
The dashing ability was kind of useless to me. Maybe in the future if you add some "barrage" attacks, it might be useful, otherwise you'd just dodge them by moving. Also, it felt like you couldn't dash through some projectiles?
Movement speed seems to be very important in this kind of game. I think reducing the base speed and adding some movement upgrades could make it a bit more challenging (and would also force the player to rely on dashing).
Wow, very interesting game. I love such cute pixel art. Everything is well put together, great job!
But all these rats are crazy... shouldn't we see the mouse pointer on the screen? I like this graphic style, it's my style!
I absolutely loved this jam. The gameplay is smooth and easy to control. The sound effects fit perfectly and it's an engaging experience. The lightning and fire buff/upgrades were so overpowered but very fun to experience. Add a soundtrack, more story+gameplay-mechanics, and this would be one heck of a full released game. :)
The only bug that I noticed is that the rats seem to be "backwards" when the spawn to the right of the character and they stay that way when moving towards me. At least that's what I experienced on my system (using the downloaded version from Itch).
1290 souls in around 8 minutes. Can't say it's good or bad but I completed this game and enjoyed it. I like the various choices in the shop with *plus* and *minus* being offered and rerolls as icing on the cake. My biggest issue is how burning and thunder work which are so random and hard to use effectively. I ended up avoiding any fire thinking they might hurt me.
Cool game. It's a weird compliment but I love that the shooting happens automatically. I didn't use block or dash a single time but I had fun lol, any game where you can strike rats with lightning is a winner in my book. It's simple but effective
Loved the vampire slayer style game idea. Great job!
FUN!! i liuke all the upgrades especially the sacrifice style ones--~
I like the upgrade system and the fact that you can peak debuffs for additional money is very nice.
Nice game! Like this vampire survival type of games, art stily siplme, but fine. Gameplay realy addictive!
