Once you get rolling, nothing stands in your way. I like how many health bars you can have. Good stuff!

Liked the sound and graphic design alot. Especially that each laugh was assigned to an enemy type. It's a small detail but a very good one! Sometimes I died suddendly and I didn't realize that my Power was away. So more of a warning and indicating would've been nice.

nice Game!

Awesome beat em up. Title screen is really cool. I like the character sprites too, I just wish I could see them a bit better lol. I think if the camera was zoomed in a bit that problem would go away, and it might not feel quite as slow to move around either. Gameplay loop is fun, even if it does get hard pretty quick in Room 3. Great job!

Genesis-like beat-em-up kickass fun! Love the combat, sprites, and overall vibes 😎Great job!

Great game, thank you for making it, enjoyed a lot! Beautiful style, nice animations and effects.
Combat flows pretty well, wonder how would feel with a dash and a bit more movespeed.
Will you be working on it after the jam?

I Absolutely loved this game!!! As an action games fan, I have to say it's everything there, I felt like playing Doom or DMC, it's nice having to pay attention to your life when attacking, as well as your positioning, it felt like a great combination! I just wish the theme of the game involved a gambler rocker or something like that, it could suit more the gameplay! You could also make the map a bit tinier so that it would be easier to look at the life gauge and the combat. Amazing game overall!

didn't need to spend any time tuning and my fingers didn't hurt. does that mean I'm good at the game

heheheh
very satisfying beat em up gameplay loop, crunchy sounds!!

tried hard to get to round ten but alas, my performance as a guitarist was lackluster. >:'3 great job on your first jam game, the assets and concept were a fun endless format. i will forever live in terror of the dog man.

heck yeah,  aesthetic is sweet, character that plays power chords to attack is like the perfect 80s arcade beat em up character that never existed. nice work!

Absolutely loving the art style and thematic unity going on here, really nice work!

I love the vibe of the game and reminds me of classic arcade games like tmnt. the power bar works great!

oozing with style. damn. love the art, its so well done. and the music is so good, complimenting the art and vibe perfectly. i like what you did with the power bar, its very well done. and i love wacking the shit out of enemies with my guitar.

Game softlocked here but this is how far I was.

At a certain point it becomes basically impossible to loose I think.

Here is some feedback:

• I kinda wish the randomization of stats wasn't that aggressive. It makes the combat a bit too random in the beginning and can really screw you over. Later on it doesn't matter as much as because you are just insanely overpowered. 
• Movement vector doesn't seem to be normalized, this makes it feel a bit jank in my opinion.
• Shooting is just objectively better than melee. In the beginning there is a point to be made that melee makes the sniper enemies easier to deal with but after the range upgrades hit critical mass there is just no reason to use it anymore. 
• Passive power regen is something that makes passive play very appealing. You can just stall out the time after only one enemy is left and fill all of your power meter and then just purchase every upgrade. 

Really liked the music and artwork. 

Great game overall, I enjoyed it quite a bit and would probably have continued if it didn't softlock. Great stuff. 

Ey, just played your game i loved the sfx sound bits and like previous peaplo say here, it reminded me of the old genesis games, really cool, i hope you guys keep updating the game, cause it has good potential, a lot of this games in this game jam have a good potential, so i really hope you guys keep updating these game later on, its was so cool ^^

Really creative idea! I love the very Genesis/Megadrive style sprites. It's an interesting design decision to tie player health to "mana" essentially. I found it a little irritating to be honest but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. I killed myself twice on the first level before I realized. XD

I loved the way the enemy health bars would indicate how much damage you would do as your charged up a chord. super satisfying to chain together three or four quick kills in a row.

Great work!

A nice, classic beat-em-up.  Feels very retro.  Art, music, even the sound effects are seriously retro.  I'd recommend enhancing that feel by using a CRT visual effect, so you really feel like you're playing on an old computer or arcade machine.

Felt odd to just be able to pick every upgrade, every time.  Maybe give people a choice of major upgrades, like new attacks, faster movement, etc.  Didn't find any other faults.

Game is good, tho buying system is kinda dumb if i just buy everything and dont refresh the list (for money) ;) could be a huge upgrade. Good sound. Would try out later on

This game is so charming! The opening feels especially nostalgic for me like I legit feels like I booted it up before. I'm also a HUGE fan of how you interpreted the theme!
