Outstanding game! Amazing visual aesthetics, balanced as it should be, not too much, not too less. The core loop is simple and easy to follow. The music is energetic and perfect for hyping up a simple gameplay.

I like how we can see where and when will the enemy spawn so it don't caught the player off guard from sudden spawn. Also that upgrade on death is nice decision so the flow don't go stale easily, only grow stronger when necessary.

Overall, this is a masterpiece. Carefully thought out design. I don't see any flaw worth mentioning except for it is short which is undestandable because it's just for game jam. The game is polished well and has potential to be a full game.

Another frantic hack-and-slash game in CMSaiko's signature NEON style! 😉🚨

It was once again a blast to slash through waves of enemies and push further into those colorful neon arenas. The controls felt smooth, and the dashes and power-ups were fun additions to keep the gameplay dynamic. Maybe some power-ups in the arena would have been nice of some health packs to make it a little bit less difficult to progress.
 The graphics and VFX looked cool, and the energetic music matched the action perfectly—same goes for the SFX.

Breaking the loop by dealing with the green enemies tied it into the theme, although quite lightly. It could have been pushed a bit further, maybe with more of a hunt or progression inside the arenas. Or something else, but a bit more.

All in all, another great action-packed game to just dive into and go wild for a while! ⚔️🎮💥 Well done!

What amazing graphics! The neon effect looks absolutely stunning, really beautiful. And combined with the entire game feel? I’d say it’s a fantastic polish job. I believe that was the main focus of your project over these 10 days. Great work on that!

From the very start, the menu shows good quality. It presents the basic settings in an easy and intuitive way, without the need for anything overly complex that would interfere too much with the gameplay.

I understand the game is meant to be more frantic, with each death making us stronger through upgrades, but I would really love for the enemies that shoot to have some kind of anticipation animation. Maybe a different pose, a sound cue, or even something visual to prepare the player to dodge at the right moment.

I’m a huge fan of particles in games, and I think if we had a bit more exaggeration in this one, like during damage-taking or attacking enemies, the combat would definitely feel much more satisfying (though, as mentioned earlier, it’s already quite satisfying as it is).

A bit of variation in behavior from the green enemies would also be interesting. It seemed to me that they always do the same thing, which slightly breaks the sense of progression, even though the levels are visually different from each other.

I understood your idea for the theme of breaking the loop, although I felt its use was a bit sparse. Maybe having some levels where we’d be forced to die and come back stronger to later win could be a good way to enhance the feeling of a loop, while still breaking it when we reach the goal.

Power-ups in the environment would also be a great addition to make the combat more frantic and interesting. It’s already really good as it is, but things like shields, projectiles in all directions, and mass destruction could be fun ways to take out enemies too. Maybe even use some elements from the map itself, like mines or lasers?

The boss was also incredible! His attack effects were really well done, and using familiar enemies was a smart strategy since it didn’t require creating overly complex movements, while still keeping things familiar and maintaining difficulty at an acceptable level.

Really, great game. Although I found the theme a bit distant, it still managed to hook me. Congratulations and good luck in the jam!

Quite the hidden gem! Nice effects with all the shaking, zooming and glowing.

The combat could use some work or I didn't fully understand it. Not sure if there are patterns you can really learn or if you can do much with dashing to avoid getting hit. I just tried dodging and mostly normal attack spamming. Maybe that long attack could push enemies back a bit and/or stun them for a short moment so that you could play it saver by dashing in an out.

The music is cool but a bit repetitive.

The loop wont not brake

This is a fun little battle arena game. I was unable to beat it. It might be nice to give the player a power-up in between levels in addition to dying. Although I did not use a lot of strategy in how I approached and attacked the enemies so it's probably over-powered. I am just not a fan of only scaling a player's power through losing. The music was perfectly looped. I could not tell when the soundtrack started or ended. Overall Good Job with the game.

Awesome game. Fun fights and Cool visuals.

Really good game, I like the visuals and the gameplay, congrats!

Absolutelly perfect. Neon efects a incredible.

This is so good.
I love it.
Excellent job.
