A very unique concept to swing the sword like a pendulum...also quite difficult.  I did get a few satisfying occasions where the sword ping-ponged wildly bashing a hornet left and right until is got sliced.  After much trying, it seemed the best strategy was to move less...get a good position and let the sword bounce...too much movement kills the sword bouncing.  

The artwork in this game is amazing.  Reminded me of the Jetsons crossed with some mad scientist. 

I will admit that I only figured out you can move around with WASD on my third try.  My first two tries I was trying to figure out how the Shift/Space skills/potions could get the sword swinging...but then those ran out.  Just a little instruction to use WASD would be helpful.

Great Presentation, Fun idea, but it felt too hard after the first wave and getting insta shot when the wave start was unexpected too, it takes time to figure out how to control the blade, but that's part of the fun I guess, keep it up !

Fun entry!

The game art its prety good, in some way its similar to my game (basically because in my game you also control an ovni too haha) The combat controll its a little bit ortopedic but its not so bad. The only thing i dont understand its how it fits with the JAM theme

Interesting mechanic, I thought I had it for a while, then I lost it and never got it back. I like the bees and wasps. everything flies around smoothly, just not much slicing with that anime-sized sword.

Nice animations - I enjoyed watching the wasps 'explode' and the prof bounce around after death. The combat mechanic was very awkward. Music was very quiet.

Nice work on the art and interesting gameplay concept (and also funny idea). It has a flash game vibe that makes me a bit nostalgic (and also reminds me of Rick and Morty) =p

IMO its a bit hard to master the swinging of the word to get some fast movement.

Really interesting game you got here. It felt really good once I got the sword spinning but I think it lacks that oomph in speed so that once I lost it, it was difficult to get back in rhythm. I found the best strategy was too get above the bees and try to bash them with the sword to get multiple hits in. They might have just a taddd too much health, I had a hard time beating even the beefier boys on level 1. 

With that being said, its a solid entry, the graphics look nice and I like how the body parts fly off the bees as you kill them. Great job!
