It's a fun game. You can add some sound effects or background music to make it more fun. But I'm stuck on the arrows. Can they be refilled?
Since the game only had 3 waves for now.. I made the number of arrows fixed (30) since they are more powerful and only supposed to be used when in dire situation. If I add new waves with different bosses, would definately add ways to refill the arrows.
The idea of enemies resurrecting to attack you at night is really cool! I love how simple yet fun it is. Although, I found a bug that prevent enemies from spawning on wave 4, but still I enjoyed the experience :)
Hey, thanks! Currently I only made 3 waves and was going to add a boss after the 3rd wave but didn't get enough time. Maybe will add it soon though.
Ooooh, that makes sense haha Welp, I can't wait to see that boss :)
I really like the concept of the enemies — in one wave I fight humans, and in the next, I face the corpses of those I defeated earlier. After the fourth wave, no new enemies spawned. I was using arrows and somehow ended up using more than I had — it even showed “Arrows left: -1.” Overall, it’s a cool concept with enjoyable execution, but the game could use a bit more polish. Congrats on finishing it!
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it :) I think i figured out why the count of arrows sometimes may go below 0. Will fix the bug. Thanks again! Also, currently in the game i only made 3 waves in total (will add a boss fight after 3rd wave)
Great game well done art & mechanics add some sound and music and you are good
Thanks, this was my first game ever and first try at pixel art. Couldn't manage time to add music as well.
I won yay!
Well done i like your pixel art and while short i had a bit of fun.
Next time maybe try added some sounds if not music as well :)
Couldn't get past day 4 but not sure if it was a bug or if that was intended. Overall really enjoyed the game, arrow pickup would be great and the art style for the enemies being more consistent would have been good too.
Good job though!
Sorry, only created 3 waves for now. Could have easily added more waves but thought it would become very repetitive, so kept 30 constant arrows for surviving the 3 waves since the arrows are more powerful than the sword. Player's supposed to manage his inventory and only use arrows when in dire situation. I think adding a boss after wave 3 would have made sense but didn't have enough time
Yes! Absolutely a boss sounds great actually! Do let me know if you update and I'll play it again :)
Cool little game, I liked the cross hair. It would have been cool if there were barrels I could find to replenish my stack of arrows, as I spent them all way to quickly lol. But a fun little game, well done! :D
Thanks! I actually wanted the player to use arrows only when they need it desperately ( as they are more powerful than the sword ). That's why i kept the arrow count as constant which you need to manage till you finish the 3 waves.
That makes a lot of sense, and I did feel pretty desperate after having unloaded them all haha
Very gooddd
Very fun and easy to use controls. I loved the color scheme.
Thank you so much. This was my first ever game as well as first ever try at pixel art.
Not sure why you're seeing this error. I have asked my friends and everyone was able to play the game. Can you try playing in a different browser?
