Insanely insanely impressive seeing how much you managed to put in, in 10 days. Really really cool you basically just recreated dark souls. I played it on stream with you, I wasn't able to get passed the first rat. I'm unsure if I was doing something wrong but the boss kept healing himself. I tried doing those ultimate abilities but I felt like I could never out damage the rat's healing. Really cool game none the less. really really impressive

I really liked the concept. Visually, I liked the style. I'm somewhat bug-phobic and my ant movement made me a bit shuddery (I say that as a compliment). Audio was good too - complemented the game and not too distracting.

Game-play wise, it's not my preferred genre as I struggle with games that require skill and strategy for combat, especially switching between keys. My reaction times are terrible. That's not a criticism - I think it's good that you've made a game that involves thinking about what you're doing and not rushing in. I'm only mentioning this to explain that I don't have specific feedback on the actual combat mechanics as it's just not the kind of thing I'm knowledgeable about.

I enjoyed the game anyway and am impressed you came up with this in such a short time. Good job.

I must say, playing as an ANT and using weapons to beat up other creatures is kind of nice.
Cool game concept and good job so far!

I beat all 3 bosses. At first I used the katana, then swapped to try different weapons like the broadsword and ninja stars. It was fun! I love the perspective choice and the mushrooms is really cool effect. The "keep playing" feature saved me a few times, but that's ok. My main feedback points were I would struggle to find health pots like i was ina drought and then randomly get a flood back to back (this impacted me dying a lot or finding bosses too easy such as face punching them to death). I also kept clicking thinking my character would turn to attack where the direction of the cursor is but he would swing in front  xD haha. My favourite aspect is for sure the mushroom trip and the leaves moving but was a great experience overall! Congrats on the game ^.^ 

Great game, and the art is very nice,  I just killed the spider, but the rat is pretty hard, as it regen his life.

Love jumping around with the spear. I found a small bug for you, if you die while holding Q for the magic attack then you will only perform magic attacks after respawning when clicking Left or Right on the mouse instead of normal attacks. It locks you out of normal attacks until you hold Q and click to use a magic attack like you were supposed to do originally.

Felt Darkwood vibes the whole way through! I haven't managed to beat the game (got stomped by the rat and ladybug bosses, gotta git gud), but I enjoyed the graphics and the overall feeling of the game!
One suggestion I would give is that, since the player attacks using the mouse, the main character could attack in the direction the mouse is pointing.
Besides this, congratulations for accomplishing that much stuff in only 10 days!

HAHA I got all woozy from hitting a mushroom and then got eaten by a ladybug, i love it! The game is beautiful and really polished, nicely done!

First of all it looks great, and the leaves moving with the player is such a nice touch. Incredible work for such a short time frame. Loved the dual wielding and all of the weapon effects. The spear jump attack was probably my favorite. I'm not sure about some of the controls though. If you're going to use mouse clicks for attack I think it's much more intuitive to have the player attack in direction of the mouse rather than the direction it was facing. Also I found the 'Q' button to be too close to tab and kept opening the menu in a fight. Since your thumb isn't doing anything I think spacebar might be a better choice? Still great work overall!

The art is gorgeous and you really nailed it with the reactivity as the player bumps into the flowers and other elements from the scenery. The visuals when you interact with the mushrooms are nice, but sometimes they linger for quite a while. Is it a buffering effect? The longer you sit on them, the more the effect stacks?

Gameplay-wise, I liked the variety of weapons and all their different skills and characteristics. It's a bit hard/counter-intuitive having to activate their special attacks by holding Q and then clicking. Maybe you could have Q for the left hand and E for the right hand, that would make it better. The balancing and game-feel on attacks, be it from the player or the enemies, is a bit rough, but I think that's expected. It's hard coming up with these kinds of mechanics, they require a lot of time for polishing and that's not something we had in abundance, I would say.

When I first started the game I had it on my laptop's screen, and on it I ran into the game's screen getting cut off at the sides, so I couldn't read the instructions on the menu. I switched to my other screen and it looked right. My laptop's screen is 1920x1200, which isn't a common aspect ratio, so that is what may have caused the issue.

So, overall good experience with the game, I read you're just 3 months into game development, and that's already great work, you're really good at it.

EDIT: typos

Did I win? I also found and defeated Duke Arachnos, but that didn't give any sort of game clearing message either.

You packed a lot of content into this! A lot of weapons and enemy types and special abilities. And intoxicating mushrooms, which I was definitely not expecting.

I'm sure there's a way to play the game well and strategically but I found mashing the attack button on bosses and avoiding all other fights was pretty effective. :)

This was amazing, I tried to do the same mechanics but this is  so clean and functional, amazing job in just 10 days. I'm a big fromsoft fan so this was intuitive.  maybe go all the way, add a parry, flask upgrades bonefires etc. I love everything about this.

It was fun, but I should have read the instructions first. But it was pretty intuitive, didn't know about Q. Jumping out from areas I couldn't see seemed like a cheap shot, I died a lot, might have been just me as a player. Overall, fun game, great job!

I don't know about a tutorial, personally.  I found it pretty intuitive.  Although, i'd love to have a description or hard numbers on the weapons.  I found the Big sword - with the spin attack - and the chakram-like one, with the thrown power - to be the best.  and it was a lot of fun!  I wish i could have transformed into the other bugs - especially the praying mantis - as i leveled.  i got to level 40 and didn't notice any really difference in strength or anything?
Anyway - i LOVE this game.  so much fun, and so visually pleasing.  

I agree with Chuske that a tutorial in-game would be a good idea. I had trouble when it came to moving while point-blanking with the rats, and I couldn't get my attack left-click to work. but I did enjoy your idea!

So great. Like appart from some missing SFX sounds during the fights, it just is THAT good. Congrats on doing such a cool game in such a short time, I'm throughly impressed :o

Sprites are well made and the level design is nice. 

Cool concept and really amazing how much immersive feel you got into this, such as the plants moving in a realistic way as you brush by them.  The combat and the sprites are super lovely.

If you had more time, I think perhaps a bit more guidance/hints/signposting/tutorial on the early levels would really help to get players up to speed. This is especially important for a jam where players play a lot of games just for a short time in each game.  It took me a minute or two to spot the route out of the first map.  Could also introduce the mechanics a bit more gradually.

Unbelievable how much detail and immersive feel you got into a game in 10 days, what an amazing effort.  You guys have real talent.

Cool game, nice graphics! At the start I got attacked before I had a chance t pick up the weapons though! :)
