Cool entry ! 

Especially liked the user interface and the pixel-art in this one ! The glowing effects around the fire enemies makes it easy to spot them and the overall game felt quite fun to play

Nice job! I liked the theme you chose, kind of underworld-y. I thought the interpretation of the limitation was creative too. It took me quite a while to kill off the enemies in the wave - I liked that we had a big health bar since I got hit a lot but it still didn't feel futile to keep killing them off. I would just say it felt a bit repetitive - maybe something we could collect or some other goal other than keep surviving would be nice :) Overall cool game!

Thank you! I wish I had a bit more time to add some things to shake up the gameplay but definitely learned a lot about time management in this one. Thanks so much for playing!
