Awesome art and animations!

Really funny idea! And the polish overall is great, everything comes together quite well :) Does get repetitive quite quickly, but hey, it's a great proof of concept for a 48 hour jam. Great job!

Amazing art and audio! Well done. The visuals all pull together really well.


For a little while... I started to just ignore my little army and go full "Barbarian". It didn't seem like they took an inordinate amount of damage.


Displaying health bars or some kind of indicator would go a long way for seeing how much I've taken. I think a rage bar for the player character would also be good to further encourage soaking damage.

I liked the animation at the beginning very much ! Cool art production :)

Gameplay wise it could gain from adding diversity after a few rounds ! But overall I had some fun throwing away my own guys :D
Good job !

Cool idea, that you have to walk into the bullets. I really liked the presentation of the game with the feel of the arena and the animations.

I would have liked to have a way to see, how much health my guys have left in order to know which one I have to protect the most.

Really good job for two days worth of work :D
