Though kept very simple, the game in it's core works well! The fact that you turn around with WASD instead of the mouse took some getting used to. Would've been smoother to have shooting directions depend on your mouse cursor imo. Also some background music would've been a good addition!
I am missing a little variety or an end goal here. The ground work is promising, but as of now this only keeps you playing for two minutes.
Nooo, an installer. Could you make this browser-playable?
My god, I reaaaaally dig this game. The sounds are astonishing, gives a perfect mood for those different situations to find yourself in. Nice graphics, nice everything. What I dont get is how the theme "more you have, worse it gets" was integrated here. Also, is there an end to this game, or do you just wander around endlessly? Would be nice to have some more insight on that, like a little story.
4,5*!
I can see this being part of a Mario Party game with altered graphics. I like it, would make for a nice short multiplayer game.
Would be nice to have an online version so that I would not need to install.
This hit the theme really well. Short and nifty, challenging too. Like the background song.
5* for the audio, awesome guitar riffs. Quite the challenge to get the green bar at the right time. What bugs me is the slow text reading speed combined with the high risk to fail. That makes it a drag to wait for the riffs to start. Overall a nice entry for a compo though.
This is missing a goal, something like "get to day x" to win.
I just realized I can fire arrows almost like a machine gun. Yeeeeeah.

Damn, that music and artwork is sublime! The piano is simplistic yet inspires, makes me want to save the planet, free these critters from their sad lives, then the bells add really nicely to that (a shame, LD removed the audio rating cuz this one is 10/10). I also adore the idea of the intro with those different fonts. The scrolling speed was a little too fast though, also text got cut off at the sides sometimes. Why no walking animation for the player? Moving without animation feels off. A little bug kind of: I can fly into oblivion if I press spacebar often enough; a vertical limit would enhance the experience. Then at one point I went left to get to the next screen but I reverted to another screen and the player would not appear. Had to restart the game sadly.

Music is nice, fits the kingdom castle knight kinda vibe. Great artwork on the cards! Did you really draw those yourselves? The gameplay is not really satisfying. I don't get where it's headed. All in all this feels like "draw card and admire artwork, then quit".

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.
