I like that you controle the player with the mouse, instead of the keyboard. It gave me a good feeling of control. Maybe add some effects to the enemies, when they are being hit.  Nice Game!

I had way too much fun with this. Those damn wolves! Why did I struggle with them the most?!

Nice, it was a fun game. I found dealing with the larger boulders it was easier to ram myself into them rather than the rock because of the health regen (which was fun in it's own way :D).

Developer

I see that you found the technique that I used when I was making the game, where you just ram into everything. Thanks for playing!

Definitely interesting (And addicting) take on the theme. I would pay for a Steam release with bigger maps, multiplayer, and different arenas!

Developer

Glad to see that you liked the game!

I agree with Ozzypizelz, the arena was too small. Looks great, though, and definitely a cool idea! Good job.

If you get a chance, please check out my game! :)

I would agree that the arena was too small and that I could have tried making it bigger in some way. I tried shrinking the player, enemies, and the rock and it ended up here. Thanks for playing. I will try your game too.

48 hours is not long to experiment!! Great job on the submission.

Thank-you :)

I liked the pixel art style and the music. The controls were a little clunky and the screen was too small and made it hard to avoid enemies. My advice would be to make the arena a bit bigger and make the character either move a bit faster or be controlled by wasd

Developer

Thanks for the advice, I will be sure to try out some new ideas with the gameplay and try to make everything work out. Thanks for playing!
