Really cool little game! I really enjoyed playing it and really thought the 2d pixel art first person game was really cool! I really like the visuals as well. I found the game alittle bit challenging at first since didn't know what to do but learnt it very quickly. Great Job!

Very cool style and if possible I'd LOVE to see this VR! Loved the art style and gameplay, one thing I would recommend is having enemies be darker if they're far away, that way it would be easier to tell the distance. Great submission!
I had fun trying this one out. The visuals were very solid except inside of the gameplay. The world was kind of basic but I understood why due to the game concept. The game was very fun when the mechanics actually worked. The aiming seemed to be the biggest issue. But other than that, you had a decent amount of polish and good animations + visuals! Good work and keep it up! The ninja dash mechanic is always cool.
I streamed it here:
That's a really nice game, I especially like the visuals :)
Scored about 25000, aiming was a bit hard for me at first but I had a blast once I figured it out. Combo system and cursor turning red was a nice touch!
You know what I like about this? Most people making pixel art games, only get it about 80-90% of the way. This is 100%. The polish here is fantastic. The game play is super novel. The death anim reference is perfect. Nothing to complain about. Can only want more.
Had a quick blast on this and it made me smile one of my faves of the jam i will play some more

Really unique game. It's sometimes hard to see how far an enemie is away from you, and if you can reach him with a dash, but other than that, it's a great game.
So juicy! Love the visuals and gameplay! Wish there was a whole dungeon/lvls to traverse that way!
It's the difference in AI:
- the Rams run away and then charge once they're far away enough
- the Skulls try to maintain a particular distance (just far enough to dash to) while avoiding their surrounding enemies
- there are some skulls that group together and follow the player closely and seem to have a smaller hitbox - that's the glitch I wrote about, they should have a bug sprite not a skull
- then the fish stick near the bottom and slowly try to get underneath the player
So, I assume you were dealing with a Ram, and yeah I agree that it's annoying because that's how I usually die. But I made it that way so you can't just stand still and click everything around you. I figured they'd make you move around more.
Such a great game! I reminded me of devil daggers.
It so action packed, really keeps you on your toes :)
Congrats on the game!
Cheers
The visual style is one of my favorites of the jam, I completely love it. To be honest, I'm very bad at your game, I never lasted more than 10 seconds lol, but that's just me, this is an awesome game, congrats! :)
This is one of the most unique ideas I've seen so far. The art is AMAZING! The hit boxes could use a bit of improvement but still. You should make this a full game or at least put this mechanic into a game your making.
Great idea. But for me it was too difficult to play, lousy me(
