I like the idea of compounding/scaling upgrades. This concept has quite a lot of space to be expanded upon, and I hope you do! I think making it a little more challenging (or adding more stages) would be awesome. Great work! :)

The art is really good and I liked the concept. However right now you can just wait out the timer and not fight. Maybe have it so you need to kill the enemies or give bettar upgrades for killing them. But it's a really good start, well done!
I liked the visuals, and the gameplay has potential. I'd like an incentive to actually kill enemies, because you can just outrun your enemies - maybe some enemies that punish you for just running. Also more levels, enemy types and upgrade types. GJ!:)
I really enjoyed the mechanics, I really like the visuals and there are only two more things I would like. An endless mode because I wanted to see how the hammer and everything really big and maybe some sound effects would have been nice. Good job! It's a great game!
I like the idea of all your upgrades scaling each round. And I love how the hammer starts out useless and by the end it becomes so powerful you realise you don't have to dodge the bad guys anymore, you can just swing at them. Love the visuals, some sound effects & music would have gone very far, but nicely done!
Interesting little vampire-survivors-like. I feel it would be improved were the rounds to go on infinitely, or at least to more than 5, but that is only a minor gripe. The game was entertaining. Good work.
yay doodle gang here! Picked bigger hammer every time and did not regret it. Very fun little game!
Nice! I like the doodle style a lot. The small dashes and the spawn in animation is super cool and makes it feel very nice to play. I would've loved to swing around my hammer like a beyblade LOL but I understand limitations. Super good job!
