Loved the art and the gameplay, great job!

Absolutely loved that art style! Gameplay was great too, but it got really tough at times because I couldn't find any foxes. Overall a great game!

Submitted

Very interesting! RIP to all those foxes.

overall, a good game, I really like this swamps style. but the web version doesn't work for me, I had to download the zip

Developer

I've been trying to get the web version to work for ages, hopefully ill have it soon.
Thanks for trying it out btw!

Love the art style, looked really pretty! The games quite challenging to stay alive but a good gameplay loop is there!

Developer

Thank you very much!

This was a really unique experience, and honestly I was scared it was a horror game at first

The game's really pretty and I ended up loving the aesthetic, though I did lose a few runs because I just couldn't find any enemies which was a bit frustrrating

Developer

Id love to make a horror game in this style, I've never done anything so narrative but it seems very fun.
Glad you enjoyed it!

A really good game!

The graphism are really top notch, the shader and overall atmophere + animation are really coherent! And I’m also glad to see someone not using the default Unity UI/Font (they really break my immersion)

Theme is quite spot on, but I’m conflicted about the role of the roses, as it doesn’t serve a practical aspect other than for teh story. It would’ve been great to use the rose to shoot the spell I think!

Audio wise the game is quite polished, but lacking a few VFX on the menu I think. Also, a bit more polish on transitions beetween screen woudl’ve added a lot I think!

But it’s overall VERY fun to play, and the controls feels good to use (which is REALLY hard to get right). Good job!

Developer

Thank you very much, I loved your game so much so your praise and criticism means a lot to me!

Developer

Thank you, I always wanted to make a boomer shooter!

I loved the unique art style it had, and the shooting felt funny aha great game

Developer

Thank you, I probably spent too long on getting the art right, so I'm glad it payed off!
