Great job on this one! I enjoyed the visuals, and the mechanics, and you even put a cooldown timer in there for the special attack. The audio was okay, and it helped to have the story in your description. The how to play screen was great, and I think the only bonus I wish the game had was holding the mouse for rapid fire instead of 1 click per round. Overall though, I enjoyed your game!

I love the game mechanics! Unfortunately I am too slow for this kind of game. Maybe you could add some snail mode… please ;)

Blake the Ghosthunteri really liked this game. Art, sound effects, chilling music it work very wll against numerous skeleton things. It really nice challenge to beat. :) Tnx and gj. Keep it up.

Destiny BowGreat game! Took me 3 tries so that's just about right for me in terms of challenge. Combat was satisfying and balanced just right. Thank you for giving players a dash/teleport ability otherwise this would've been a rather tedious/harsh experience. Visuals are great, and the game overall is very polished. I'm always a fan of glowing stuff and particle effects. The music was good and the sprites are cute!

Outer DarknessThis is a really fun shooter game! Managing mana and using my ability to clear huge amounts of skeletons never gets old!
The visuals are great, the characters and the environments all look solid, although I have a couple of things to address:
first, I wished there was auto fire, it starts to hurt my hand after a while (thank goodness I have an auto-clicker button in my mouse ('-v-))
second, the shooting audio is a bit too loud and when you shoot a bunch of bullets in a short period of time, it starts to hurt my ear a bit.
And one last thing, the teleportation ability is a bit broken, since it doesn't have a cooldown, so maybe add that? (or don't bcz broken abilities are kinda fun XD)
aside from all of that, this is a great entry, and it was very fun to play, good work dev team :D

Immortal BlessingThank you very much for all your feedback!
You're right, there have been a few people to mention holding the LMB would make it a bit easier on the wrists, this is something we will consider for future games :)
And yeah the fireball sound crackles a bit when it gets spammed, we would've tried fixing this but sadly we ran out of time in the end.
We both decided not to put a cooldown on the teleport because we thought it might be a bit too difficult without being able to teleport constantly. That and it felt more fun teleporting around kiting the skeletons :D!
Thanks again for your kind comments it really means a lot to us!
This game was very good. Also, I really like the juice that you added. The little camera shake and sound effects worked really well!

Soul CollectorHope you'll expand on this game because it has all the right ingredients of an addicting gameplay, and I really liked the visuals and the soundtrack. Overall great work!

Outer DarknessThank you for the game. I am so bad at these types of games and not even were able to take the first boss to halve health. But it was still fun... its a good feeling when you kill a horde of skeletons with your AOE

There is No HeavenVery fun game. A little difficult at first, but enjoyed the challenge and tried again until victory :)
Good work.

1 Life 2 DieIt's basically a boss fight, right at the beginning of the game, right? :) Anyway, it's very well polished for a jam game made in 10 days. Impressive. It also has nice and consistent visuals. Good work!

You Are DeadGood job with this! The art is wonderful and the effects and impact of attacks feel really good. Agree with bjorvack on the mouse button hold. Starts to pain an old man's wrists like mine to keep clicking. Either way, it didn't stop me from playing over and over again.

Turbulent SoulBeautiful and fun game. Maybe try to add the option to hold down the left mouse button to shoot. This would make the gameplay a lot smoother

Spectro, Deaths best friendThe game page is beautifully designed!
Music sets you in the right mood from the very beginning, control is convenient, great pixelart :)
The game is quite challenging, I managed to win only after 7 try :D
Music and animation at the end is very cute :3

BugCat AdventureWait a second, there was a teleport?! :O
Yes indeed! How could I miss this?! It's written about it at the very beginning! lol
It turns out that I am also one of those people who completed the game without using a teleport, although as I wrote above, I succeeded only from 7 times.
With a teleport it turned out to be much easier, I managed to win on 1 try :D
Awesome game and cool boss. I felt the amount of skeletons that spawn to be overwhelming though. I liked the music. Really fun game
