Simple but effective game mechanic and great polish. I do think it lasts a little bit too long without introducing anything new near the end.

Super fun! Really good difficulty balance/progression, and appreciated the quick restart on player death. The dash with i-frames was really smooth too.

Friendship Scales MountainsGame feels nice to play! My requests would be 1. don't fade to black immediately when the player dies - freeze everything give them a minute to understand why they died so they can do better next round and 2. telegraph the attacks a bit more, especially when they're one-shot kills. Cool game overall!

I BELIEVE IN GUBUSI love the art and feel of the game, I found the levels to be very well designed, not too easy but not unfair. Very interesting concept!

Slither SweeperVery fun game, but really needed some text explaining you need to match the number of bones above the enemies. Also, the game is too punishing, were it not for the many safe points. But I was still frustrated by attacks with no tells, instant deaths and dodge with start up frames. I then quit after the (felt like) fifth area with a 3-bones guy, since there was little more to keep me engaged. Those are some points for your next game. Also I found the base volume way to high. The graphics and effects do look amazing, so kudos on that!

Zen MasterNice game, great polish and very satisfying to play. Although, not sure if ranged attacks mix well with melee attacks. Fun nonetherless.
