Nice aesthetics I really liked visuals. Kinda missing some kind of counter UI for the coins. Nice game overall :)

Wow this is one of the more polished games I've seen. I love all the sounds and enemy variants, and the difficulty curve is well done. I was hoping that the more speed i have while hitting enemies, or hitting them from the back would do more damage, but I think it's all the same? Either way, great job. You can tell a lot of work was put into it!

Visually the game looks phenomenal, and the controls feel really responsive! But design-wise I feel like something's missing. Attacking with the mace feels kinda like I'm just wiimote shaking my mouse around; having some requirement to swing it around and get more momentum to do like a one-hit kill, or maybe having enemies from multiple directions to force the player to really utilize the mace better would go a long way. The enemies, while unique on their own, all require the same solution as well. Maybe giving them different weak points that make you strategize how to move around the mace would help? 

Either way, great job!

I really liked this one. Easily of the best I’ve played this jam :D

Sound direction is on point, really dig the shader you guys used and, you guys thought about the mace clipping/getting in the way.

On a side note: My game kept crashing reaching the third level, also I don’t know whether you actually use coins for something.

good entry, keep it up!!

Great design, got juice and the combat is really fun. Especially herding a large group of enemies into a hallway to fight them is a good mechanic.

One minor thing I noticed is that  there's no really incentive to fight them and you could run from most enemies. Maybe later iterations could add doors, let enemies drop coins or other mechanics related to killing enemies?

The design, art and sound is really well done. I liked the addition of a story to the game as a tutorial, pretty much makes the tutorial seamless. The combat is a bit janky but ultimately functional, good job.

add a kill bar

kill bar depletes every second

killing an enemy resets the kill bar

when kill bar is not depleted you get an extra mace that goes the opposite direction, would be really fun

Good game, but maybe need a bit more of an incentive to fight the enemies, cause I managed to just run past them pretty easily. It is a cool idea though.

I like the idea of the game and the style of the game.

Good idea, but the gameplay is a bit repetitive.

The mace can be a bit frustrating to use at time too, when you struggle to hit an enemy.

But it's nicely polished and the art style is cohesive and the sounds design is good :)

Really creative mechanic and a fun game! My only critique would be that the mace sometimes felt a little hard to swing in the direction I wanted with enough force. Overall though nice job!
