The level art is great, and you caught my attention with that ridiculous title. My only complaint is the controls screen, I couldn't read any of it and had not idea what to do until I spammed a few buttons.

Nice! Really enjoyed the art style/sound design, and funky music choice! I wonder if playing with two people would make it easier or harder XD.

The name is incredible and the presentation is great! The gameplay I couldn't quite get the hang of, I think I get the rough idea that you hit the small enemies with the chain to kill them and can only get the big enemies if on a rampage, though with how random the spawning seemed to be it was difficult to build up stacks or even stay alive long enough. Some work on the spawning of obstacles and maybe ramping up slower in the beginning would likely help a lot. Still, a solid entry!

Thanks for playing and for the kind words!! We ended up leaving quite a lot on the table as we'd been a bit ambitious, there was originally going to be a way to deal with enemies on the far edges. We ran out of time and had to leave the spawning logic a little basic! (To think originally it was meant to be 3 levels, too! seems preposterous now LOL)

Haha yea I know how that goes, I ran into some scope issues myself, I have a handful of half-implemented features that had to be disabled in the final build.

This game looks really nice! I love the animations and art. The music is also fun. Unfortunately, I couldn't wrap my brain around the gameplay. Controlling two characters is always a big ask and requiring quick reaction time was a miss for me. There also seemed to be a lot of enemies you couldn't get because they spawned on the outside lanes. I'm not sure if that was intended or not. I never got the boss because I kept dying, but I know there was a boss because I saw it spawn once lol

Thanks for making this. Really well made!

A difficulty setting would've been a nice easy win there i think! We originally had an idea for dealing with enemies on the outside lanes but we had to cut it due to a lack of time :( The spawning logic was a little basic as a result of this. Thank you for the kind words and thank you for playing!

I really loved this, and I normally don't really care for endless runners. The use of the chain and controlling two characters was really fun. On another game I probably would have gotten frustrated and given up before seeing the ending, but I was having so much fun losing didn't ever bother me. The art style is great too. All around a great game.

Awesome game! The art was beautifully designed and the music fit very well. I like how its an endless runner but tougher type of game too. Well Done!

Game froze when my main left guy died, restart button never showed. Couldn't figure out how to move right guy, arrows didn't work. I liked the style choices and art, wished it would have worked better for me.

Should've been called "that time I was turned into a small puppet and now I have to defeat the demon lord to save the village" but I appreciate the title nonetheless.  Pretty fun game!!

I love the aesthetic! The game is fun, both in terms of mechanics and in terms of art. The death sound effect is especially good haha. The controls sometimes felt unresponsive, but that might just be a limitation of my browser. Great job overall :)

Fun! I don't quite understand how the bigger enemies work and why my chain broke. Good job though :)
