Lovely graphics and fun gameplay loop! Didnt realize the enemies were stealing the crown offscreen and trying to save it added a lot of fun tension!
glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing
not a bad game, I think easily one of the best arts! main issue for me is how tedious the gameplay gets and performance!
the timer didnt go by seconds for me, it would be every 2-4 seconds before going down, another issue I had was the performance, idk if it's the particles or tiles (since I do notice they can be interacted) but the game took me 30 mins to beat overall, it was very slow, and eventually you're so powerful and op you can just stand there and shoot and nothing else, I wish there was either more upgrades or stronger foes as the round goes so it has more to it!
I hate to be negative, Im just saying cause I know with tweaks you can do some amazing stuff and I would love to see a full version of this! with some tweaks and more enemies, this can be really fun! great work overall though! it's easily one of the best graphic wise and has good music!
(also ps here I also got both the ending music and the main theme overlapping, also the game froze before showing this so ye)
thanks for the feedback, I'm sorry the game ran poorly for you, I plan on making an update after the jam to improve the performance and gameplay loop, i hope you'll play the updated version.
no worries! i def gonna play once its patched!! <3
Wow, the graphics and music are amazing!
You have to be top 5 at graphics, it looks so good but gameplay repeat itself so much. Good game.
Another amazing entry, im a huge sucker for isometric graphics, and the 8-directional sprite was very well done. I do think there was no reason to get any upgrade other than the damage one because you never take damage, and i could just infinitely hold down left click.
An absolute blast of a game! I was vibing very hard to the music lmao; definitely has that chaotic vibe of the pyromaniac! I really love this style of enemy-blasting-with-all-our-might yk :)) The screen did go black for me at some point (reading the comments, I assume it's because the enemies tok the crown!) Overall, if you do have a chance to expand this, I'd love to play it more! <3 Fantastic game and good luck!
This is so cool, can't believe it was made in only 3 days. I love the cloak physics, and all the art looks amazing.
Nice work! The art style is phenomenal and I love this twist on the Vampire Survivors style game. Having the enemies try to run away with the crown is a really nice touch. Gives you a chance to go from defensive to offensive which is really clever. I think this is a super strong entry. My only critique is that I wish there was a bit more variety in attacks and builds, but I realize there's a limit with only 72 hours! Phenomenal work!
yeah 72 hours is rough, there was so much more i wanted to add, thanks for playing glad you enjoyed it
Love it man! I hope you'll continue working on that :)
thank you, ill see about giving it an update soon.
Cool concept, would like to see it being expanded!
thanks, i might release an update to fix the bugs and add a couple things
Loved the swinging robe giving feedback to the flying character! The game came almost to a halt with the fps, it seems like something might be storing memory and not freeing it? Great job with the game!
i was sweating trying to find the memory leak before the time limit, lol,
Love the character, left me wanting to try out for myself flowing hairs and robes!
The sound of enemies burning (at least it's what I believe it is) gets anoying in the long run cause it's a bit overwhelming, maybe play only one at a time or tune it down imo
i was very proud of the hair physics, im glad you noticed, thanks for the feedback
The graphics and music are outrageously great. And I really appreciate the fast load time too.
After a minute or so, shortly after the first upgrade, the screen went black and I couldn’t resume it. Happened twice in a row. (Chrome 136 on Linux)
yeah, that's what happens when the enemies get the crown to the end of the screen, we didn't have time to fix this bug, sorry!
Cool entry! At first I thought the coins were post-death projectiles from the enemy, after a while realized i was wrong and the game stopped being so overwhelming :D Also love the "stealing" mechanic, it's a lot better than instant loss. Great job!
lol, thanks for playing
COOL GAME, I felt overwhelmed at first, but after a while I got the hang of it...
glad you enjoyed it
This game has an incredibly nice character interface, I was very surprised.
thank you
Really nice game! Somehow did not realize at first, that I need to defend the crown and got a few black screens from probably dying, but after actually defending it, it worked fine! Wish though the game would freeze when choosing an upgrade.
it does in the download version, for some reason html doesn't let me freeze instances, i gotta figure that out
Cool game for when your brain needs to wake up hahah Absolutely loved the music!
I did manage to crash the game or maybe there is no end screen, as I walked down to the water the entire screen went black. Other than that, good job! :D
thanks for the feedback ill try to fix that
I KNEW IT WAS GWYN WHO MADE THE ARTWORK I WENT INSANE BECAUSE HE POSTED IT IN THE ART CHANNEL AND GAME PROGRESS WAS POSTED BY A DIFFERENT PERSON IN A DIFFERENT CHANNEL I AM GOING INSANE
