Great execution. Easy to learn, hard to master, for sure. Love how the rabbits give you negative points (and make a funny sound)

Nice concept, I think it would be easier to control if the map was zoomed out. Definitely felt out of control...

Nice concept, I really like the take on the theme. I don't really have complaint regarding the game design.

Naturally where I would say that the game suffer is on the presentation and the lack of music. The art is serviceable, but we know what's what so there is that (some game we have a hard time just knowing what we are looking at). There was no bug found and the gameplay was responsive.

So good job for a first jam !

I fear no man but this thing, it scares me 

All jokes aside, the game is cool, I have noticed that this jam has inspired a lot of rage games, I love the mechanic when the speed increases when you stay in one direction, I have experimented with that and well you can say it was a disaster

Cool mechanic, would be interesting to see how the addition of a mini map or radar would change things. Loved it.

Ah we didn't even consider a mini map. Would have certainly helped you figure out where enemies were spawned to help you keep up your combo. Thanks for the feedback!

Plays quite intuitively, with the un-wieldy controls being intentional and in line with the theme. Incrementing difficulty (rabbit spawns) and having variation in the kill moments (slow-mo) were nice presentation touches.

On one hand, the mechanics do not feel so innovative, but it also makes it easy to understand. I like that some attention was given to mixing things up in each aspect of the game, giving it a bit more personality & "juice."

Seems a solid case of keep-it-simple & polish. Nice work!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! This is our first jam and we tried to keep it dead(haha)-simple.

a very cool mechanic, without much difficulty to learn, even difficult is not to run over the rabbit XD.

Cool mechanic - I like the bezerk function as it serves as a way for the user to regain control on each kill & get the blood meter back up.
