How does your game fit the theme?
This is a hack n slash game, but instead of being the hero and defeating the villain, you get to be the final boss and pummel everyone to death, Unfortunately this is not properly conveyed in the game because we did not have enough time to implement an intro sequence and cinematics, that would have otherwise cleared out a lot of questions about the plot of the game, thank you.

Did your team create the vast majority of the art during the 48 hours?

No

Did your team create the vast majority of the music during the 48 hours?

I decided to run around the map and reck havok which was fun, and then I jumped off the map and just looked at the default skybox in peace, it was a nice juxtoposition to all the death. Fun!

Gotta love some good ol´ button mashing slash and hack hahah

Cool game and it works really well on browser! Thats awesome :

This game's really well done. Reminds of Dynasty warriors gameplay. Action is satisfying. Camera movement felt a bit awkward at first but not a huge issue. Also some good music and sound effects will highly improve the experience.

I rather enjoyed it! It has nice controls but the keybinds need improvement. The only thing I would add is time between waves and a larger screen when you maximize the window but all in all, Good Job!

Submitted

Movement and attacks feel smooth and satisfying! Good job!

Submitted

nice hack and slash game! i think it would be cool to implement mouse movement!

Really unique game, definetly stands out from the crowd. Its a shame that the sound is not working, I bet that would have still added a lot.
I felt like the enemies did not really do much and mostly watched you attack them, especially if you went in for a hit and then backed off again. The abilities were enjoyable though and it really made you feel like a boss fighting of hoards of enemies.
In my opinion the controls were a bit off, I bet this would have profited from the camera being controlled by the mouse and also having a light/heavy attack on the mouse buttons and then some extra abilities on the keyboard. Nothing gamebreaking though and I still had a great time regardless, well done! :)

I love the combat animations! The combat is so smooth and satisfying.

Cool game. Definitely stands out from other games in the Jam.

I understood how the game fits the Game Jam Theme well. The combat was rather enjoyable (mowing down waves of enemies is always fun), although it did get a bit (J) button mashy after a while.

 In terms of art, it all looked very cohesive. I did appreciate the nice particle effects, especially at the end of a regular attack sequence. A shame the audio did not work.

In terms of improvements, I'd recommend making enemies spawn more in clumps. Later in the game I found I was only fighting a couple enemies at a time. The addition of a dash attack would also be nice, make the combat a bit more fluid and varied. Finally, I would recommend adding mouse support (e.g. Left Click Attack, Right Click Projectile, Spacebar ult, move mouse to control camera).

Overall, a strong submission. Nice job!

Developer

appreciate the feedback!
those are definitely important points to further work on, thanks for pointing them out, the game is empty because of time constraints unfortunately, I really wasted all my time on the combat, I will surely improve on your points, many thanks!

I love the idea of being the boss and fighting the players, but it would be great if you added a way for the player to move while hitting but dealing less damage than actually staying in place and hitting. Sad for the audio tho i think you did a really great job.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I had plans for more varied attack styles but due to time constraints I could not implement them unfortunately, I will surely work on your points, appreciate the feedback!

Nice musou-genre game. Hacking and slashing have so much impact, pure satisfaction! I felt myself as Conan the Barbarian! Wish you best luck!

But i didn't hear any sound, mb web build made something wrong :(

Developer

thank you! that was exactly my inspiration for the gameplay, unfortunately the audio does not work for a weird reason, but glad you enjoyed the game!

Nicely made! Cool retro vibe

Developer(+1)

thank you! my vision was retro PC games!

Submitted

Nailed it!

The art style is really good its like those old strategy games and its satisfying to kill all the knights coming for you. They are a bit dumb but since they only follow you and sometimes atack but thats also why is fun to smash them all hahah. The game is pretty good but I didnt heard any sounds in my browser maybe bc of a bug. The game needs maybe a main menu or something but its ok for now. Nice job!!

Developer

Thank you! unfortunately I did not have time to implement menus, and the audio does not work due to a weird bug, either way glad you like it! really appreciate it!

It's a fun game, and I like a lot the graphic style. The controls are a bit weird, I died very quickly on my first try trying to figure out how to put my hand on the keyboard xD Also, I couldn't find a "try again" button anywhere, so to play again I had to reload the game :/ But good job!

Developer

so sorry you had to suffer through my bad control choice xD I choose the buttons early and did not have time to fix them, and did not have time for menus, not even a retry button, thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it!

Submitted(+1)

Great art and animations! Liked the U ability! I would have liked for there to be some more depth to the game though, as it does get a little repetitive. However, it was still quite satisfying to play, so I had fun!

Great job on making this game!

Developer

Thank you! I wanted to make more variety in the enemy and even a scenario and different stages but could not due to time constraints, I will surely take your feedback into consideration, I really appreciate it!

Submitted(+1)

Really liked the artstyle here, it reminds me of the PS1 era. The gameplay was very simple but just so satisfying, alot like Hyrule/Dynasty Warriors. Actually loved this one !

Developer

Yes I was inspired by the Dynasty warrior/ Sengoku basara games! and I went for an old PC game look but it really looks similar to PSX graphics too, thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Really reminds me of Dynasty Warriors which I really enjoyed. Maybe add more enemy variations like a stronger Hero character with better AI.

Developer

I was inspired by dynasty warriors too! I wanted fun mayhem and big enemy groups like that, due to time constraint I could not add more enemy variation, but I will surely take your feedback and improve the game, thank you!

Neat game!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I wanted to make a fun experience with big groups of enemies, glad you liked it!

Submitted(+1)

Really cool aesthetic!

Developer

Thank you!
I was trying to go for an old PC games look or perhaps a PSX look, albeit the poly count here is too big for the Playstation, either way glad you like it!

Submitted(+1)

Ahh, I love the graphics, they remind me of some 2000s MMORPGS or Online RPG, it's lovely.

I also the slaughter-fest idea, the attacks feels good and it's really fun to run around.

I do agree with some ppl that the controls are unintuitive, but overall? Awesome job!

Developer

Glad you like the artstyle! I wanted to make a fun action game with many enemies at once, and I am sorry for the controls, I do not know why I even chose them in the first place xD either way thank you!
