Nice game, I'm impressed by the scope considering how short this jam was.
I like the art and the idea of using blood vials to get stronger (good use of the prerequisite).
I think the interaction with the enemies could be improved by making your sword attack instantaneous (instead of terraria-like), and giving the enemies stronger knockback so they won't be able to easily hit you after you hit them.
The game was pretty fun and well presented. The enemies could be a bit more intersting, nothing too crazy is needed, just a bit of variety would be great (like a projectile enemy maybe?). Anyway great job!
Great job. This was fun.
Great game! I really enjoyed playing it. The presentation is good, and I love the overall concept. However, I think the controls wouldfeel smoother with a joystick.The keyboard controls were a bit challenging for me. Overall, it's a good game, but i think you can add more polishing, like adding moreee visual effects, such as particle effects and trails.it could really shine.
Keep up the great work dude! :D
Thanks so much for your feedback! Did the controller not work for you? We think it's better with controller as well :D
We will keep working on it for sure, thank you!
Pretty fun game, attack speed could maybe be higher or let the player move while attacking. Nice game
Thank you! Do you mean the base attack speed? Or did you mean the upgraded one from the blood altar?
base attack speed or maybe being able to move while attacking,
