Overall: I think it's pretty cool that your combo is also your health! I really enjoyed the concept of this one, and the gameplay loop is satisfying. The game ramps up in difficulty at an appropriate rate, and the graphics + audio combine really well to make the game feel good. My biggest complaint is that there didn't seem to be a "game over" screen of any sort, so I had to Alt+F4 to close it, and there wasn't any metric of score, so I can't boast at how well I did, or replay the game with a visible high score to beat.

Fun: I enjoyed it! I definitely had a good time running around and dodging everything . As stated, any indication of how well I'm doing would be nice. Either a timer, or score, or "longest combo at 9 without dropping"... anything! It would add replayabillity for sure.

Innovation: Top down shooters are definitely a genre in need of innovating, and I like your combo = health addition! I think it can make the game too easy at times, but since it's the tie in with the theme, I can't complain. Speaking of...

Theme: I really like how the combo is the center of attention. It's very clear that the combo is the main focus of the game, and it's a pretty great take on the theme.

Graphics: First things first, I love the screen shake.  I like the gore, but making it pink is an interesting touch. I think the background is a bit awkward? I can't tell if it's grass, or a nuclear river of some sort. The grey boxes are also a bit out of place.

Mood: I usually reserve this space to talk about the emotions I felt playing the game. It's fun, and over the top, and goofy, and that's great.

Audio: I like the sound effects. Some music would be nice.

Humor: Good ol' nonsensical violence.  I'm a fan.

Final Thoughts: Checking out your Itch.io page, this looks like it's your second game jam? And dang, it's a solid entry. Great work!

This was pretty fun (and hectic)!

Only realized you could switch weapons too late x)

Also, it would be nice to get a score at the end, and settings too.

And more sfx would have been nice too.

Good game:

Positives:

• Sprites look good
• The SFX are great (when I try to make my own, they sound annoying, but yours sound pleasant)
• Game player is simple and fun
• Love the trail of enemy guts that I leave behind
• DUEL WIELDING!

Things that could be improved:

• The pink blood is too saturated and starts hurting the player's eyes after 5 min of killing. You could lower the saturation of the sprite (bring it slightly closer to grey), and the same goes for the grass.
• There wasn't any real reason to use the hook, because the 2 swords were enough to be immortal if you just keep moving and hitting targets
• More any types could have made progressing and surviving longer more rewarding, but currently, there isn't much reason to try to play more. Upgrades and a boss also could help.

That was really nice. I am a sucker for these top down shooter games. The slow time feature was cool, but I didn't need it. Felt it was really easy, event when there was a ton of enemies. I would love to see relics or loot or something thrown into the mix :D Good job!!

Interesting gameplay. There is no restart button  xD.  The game resembles io games.
