I enjoyed it! I think a sprint feature would be really nice along with a stamina system of course to limit it. I had some problems recognising the sword's collider range but overall it's a nice game. I would really appreciate it if you could rate my game as well!

In what way does your game fit the theme?
My interpretation of chaos is present in the narrative and the mechanics. The story revolves around two gods associated with chaos. The dungeons are all procedurally generated as well to make the Realm of Chaos change every time you play.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I made everything except for the music. A friend of mine made it and I credit him at the end.

Very fun game! I really like the graphics and animations. Great job!
I like that there are upgrades, though I wish there were some more exciting ones, like attack range or movement speed. I only cared about vision range upgrade.
Depth 3 was bugged for me I think. The rooms were either completly empty or pitch black where I couldn't see my character. Sometimes I could only see him on the black backround with red light around him.

Doom FarmI'm so sorry to hear about that bug. I have yet to replicate it, but it may just be something to do with the download.
I also hear you on the upgrade thing. Move speed was supposed to be a mid-tier upgrade in the Hermes line, but I only had time for one upgrade for each god. Similarly, there were supposed to be multiple weapons so that would have contributed to the attack range and speed and such... Just time getting in the way again.
Thanks for rating!
Dude you gotta teach me how to make something this good in such a short time. The animation and enemies were amazing, the music was a bit repetitive but it's understandable. Just like what others said, there was a bit of slowness when it comes to the attacking. The art is beautiful though, it deserves to win the top prize here. I love how both our games included the concept of chaos as a god, we've got the Canaanite/Pheonecian gods in ours, it'd be cool if you could try and give it a try <3

AnathNice game! I especially like the artwork. As others have said, it's a nice retro-aesthetic.
I think my biggest complaint is that the enemies don't feel fair, especially the small walking enemies. The reason is that their movement seems to be completely random and unpredictable, which given the short range of the sword meant I lost several dozen HP to the enemy turning around randomly when I was trying to hit it. This is especially frustrating since the combination of large player hitbox and small range of attack meant that the reaction time to save myself from damage is basically none.
I think adding a bit of telegraphing to some of the more random enemies would go a long way (such as the shooting plants and the small minions). As a good example of an enemy that really fit this game, I really liked the enemy design of the bats since predicting their movement and parrying just before they were in range was super rewarding as a player.

Rhythm GambitYou really nailed the retro aesthetic with this one!
I would have preferred it if it was keyboard only though; as the game didn't capture my curser, I found myself clicking out of the game frequently.

every thirteenth secondThe art is great and I like the enemy variety. It'd be nice if the mouse location had an effect on the sword attack though.

Life Finds A WayIt's a cool concept, and I really had fun playing it, really gives me the exploration vibe. It would be pretty cool if teleporting back to the statue would restore all your HP.

Mood SwingsThe art is really nice and the game has a lot of different aspects to it which is nice to see in a game jam. My main issue was that there's a lack of feedback for when you attack enemies or get hit yourself. Otherwise, really nice game!

Temple of LasersExtremely polished game, I'm impressed how much you managed to do in such short period of time. One thing I'd adjust is to have bigger control of your player's sword, maybe connecting sword direction with mouse cursor direction. You can also try to make combat more entertaining. Anyway, amazing job, greatly done! :)

Escaping ChaosThat's actually really cool! Very zelda dungeon delve vibes.
My one thing is I feel like the sword didn't have much of an impact. Would have been satisfying for it to do knockback and maybe not take so many hits.
But such a cool entry, you must have been booking it to make it in time!

Legitimate Bomb Removal TrainingFabulous artwork! Loved the concept.

Chaos VariantsWow, I see Hard work on this game, good Gameplay and Graphic, and can you vote mine too?
Submitted
Earth BreakerThis has definite potential.
I wish the combat had better feedback, sound, knockback/stun etc. I would also like to attack up and down as well as left and right.
The graphics are charming, and I like the mythological theme. The opening theme music is beautiful and mournful.
This is a strong solo entry. Well done.

Happy Little HELL Farm
