Very pretty! As others have pointed out, the game moves a bit slow sometimes, but other than that, very nice job!

I agree with the slow controls, but it was still really fun to play! Great job!

Developer

Thank you! I'm honored you enjoyed it!

the art style and the music were amazing although the controls are a bit slow , but nice work overall!

Developer

Thank you!!! You are all right to point out that the player is slow. I will fix it.

A little bit too slow for my taste, but I had fun!

Developer

Thanks for playing along! Ophelia should have been faster, in my opinion too. I'll fix it.

Superb music! Really top notch.

Developer

The music is not our production, but I am happy because I like it very much too.

Thanks for playing.

This game is gorgeous! Those frogs are super-cute!!! Nicely done - I felt invincible with the chainsaw until those pesky lobsters arrived. Love your artwork and love the game! Perhaps make the character controller a bit faster - would improve the feel.

Developer

Thank you! The art was a great effort by my co-creator.

I will try to do it a little faster after the rating period is over.

When I played the second time, but on my phone and it feels a lot better. I like the gameplay and the upgrades are nicely done. Really cool graphics style. For me it just doesn’t fit the theme, because as far as I can see restarting doesn’t bring anything new to the game.

Thanks for playing!! My co-creator did a great job on the graphics.

In the original "Hamlet," her life ended when she fell into the river, but we made that the beginning point again.

Really fun upgrades and gorgeous art and music! I wish the player moved a bit faster to make it easier to dodge especially as things start ramping up. 

Developer

Thank you very much. My co-creator did a great job on the gorgeous art.

Ophelia's movement and the pace of level up needed more adjustment. We will upload the adjusted version at the end of the rating period. If you are interested, please come and play.

I really like the gameplay and the music. I loved the scissor that works like a boomerang probably my favourite good job!!

Developer

Music is borrowed. The composer is very great. I always use his music.
The movement of the scissors copies the cross of the example game.

Freaking loved the music. Is it dynamic? I think the chorals came only after some progression of the game.

The game is pretty and the gameplay is really nice.  The overall ambience is on top!

I just think it is a little bit slow. Maybe speeding up the enemy scrolling could be interesting as we progress. Also, I think the frogs could appear a little bit sooner, in order to spice up the beginning a little.

Very nice overall!


Oh! and loved the chainsaw  :p

Developer

The music is playing on a loop, but we are trying to get the timing of the loop right.
We are not good at level design, so your advice on enemy layout is very helpful. Thank you very much.

I loved the chainsaw too.

This game was really fun! The graphics are great and the music is better, the difficulties great even though the movement speed could be greater!

Developer

Thank you! I wanted to make some more adjustments, but it was a deadline. I will upload the adjusted version after the rating period.

I love how the art matches the music so well! It's fun to see all the different weapons!

Developer

ゆーじさん!!
Thank you. My wife had 6 more weapons on her schedule, but it was overwhelmingly impossible.

This is one of the best jam games I'have ever played! It reminds me of Vampire Survivors but in a runner style. The progression and all the upgrades are fun and the initial animation is beatiful! Curious to see what happens after I defeat the boss, but I'm try it later. And the Leaderboard idea is really good! How did you make the leaderboard feature and which engine did you use?

Developer(+1)

"Vampire Survivors clone" was our own theme. I'm glad we were able to build it up enough for you to notice it.
It may be hard to beat Hamlet because there are so many unadjusted parts. Sorry.
It is made in Unity. The leaderboard is a sample made by naichi.
It is in Japanese, so it may be hard to refer to, but the link is below.

Ophelia in 2023 extends the chainsaw.

Very good game. The starting was really cool and like the how Ophelia gets stronger as she levels up.

I laughed when I got the electric saw.

Developer

Thank you.

The phrase "Ophelia gets stronger" that you commented on is already a bit funny.

Wowo, cool art! Catchy song track as well. I love the starting animation, that was really well made. Also I like how there is a leaderboard.

Developer

I found free music that suited my image very well and improved the game tremendously.

The leaderboard is genius who made the samples.
